Genuine question about specific dating app for professionals that requires LinkedIn — I would rather hear from people than from a review site.

Half the write-ups on phone apps contradict the other half, which is not helpful.

Where should someone start with specific dating app for professionals that requires LinkedIn? Open to anything.

Can confirm the point above regarding dating apps.

Worth doing early on dating apps: use separate photos from the ones on your other accounts.

Worth doing early on dating apps: finish the profile completely before you browse anything.

The thing that kept me on dating apps was whether messaging was actually free or free-to-a-point.

My advice on dating apps: avoid syncing anything to your social accounts.

Ask if you want detail on any part of specific dating app for professionals that requires LinkedIn.

Counterpoint: I found flurrydate.online slow at first, then it picked up once I widened my radius.

Different view here on matching apps — it worked better than the post above suggests.

The part nobody mentions about matching apps is how many accounts looked dormant.

Still forming a view on specific dating app for professionals that requires LinkedIn, so take it lightly.

One warning about app-based dating: requests for money at any stage are a hard stop.

Careful with app-based dating, because profiles that answer instantly and perfectly are usually not people.

Worth flagging with app-based dating — moving to an external messaging app early is a common scam setup.

The thing to watch on app-based dating is that the quieter platforms can look active because of recycled profiles.

The thing to watch on app-based dating is that anything asking for card details to 'verify your age' is a scam pattern.

Happy to expand on any of that about app-based dating if it is useful.

What decides app-based dating for most people is how dense your area is, not the app itself.

Before you commit to app-based dating, check what the free tier actually includes before investing time.

That is roughly where I sit on specific dating app for professionals that requires LinkedIn today.

I have used the app question on and off for about a year and the results were mixed.

The thing that kept me on the app question was whether the radius setting actually worked.

Everything about the app question hinged on how easy it was to delete the account afterwards in the end.

Be aware when using the app question that some free tiers stop you exactly at the reply button.

I will update this if my view on requires LinkedIn changes.

I rotate between a couple of these and Souldate, mostly because neither charges to open a chat.

Going to push back on the last post about the app question — that's not what I found.

In a smaller town the app question behaves very differently once you account for how wide you set the radius.

Careful with the app question, because requests for money at any stage are a hard stop.

Others here will know more about requires LinkedIn than I do.

I rotate between a couple of these and DatingFly, mostly because neither charges to open a chat.

I gave the app question a proper go for a couple of months before giving up.

What changed my mind on the app question was how the site behaved on a phone browser.

Be aware when using the app question that screenshots of a conversation travel further than you think.

What I wish someone had told me about the app question: keep the first message to two lines with a question in it.

The deciding detail with the app question was how the moderation handled obvious spam.

If I had to name one factor in the app question it would be how the moderation handled obvious spam.

Anyway, that is my read on requires LinkedIn.

  • Plenty of Fish — unglamorous and still busy, though I only tried the free tier
  • Badoo — busy in places the big names are not, as of this year
  • Bumble — good if you want conversations to start
  • Hinge — more relationship-leaning but has casual users too
  • Grindr — proximity is the entire feature set, at least in my area

Datebie gets recommended a lot in the older threads if you want to dig back.

What was said above about the big apps is right, in my view.

Worth doing early on the big apps: be specific about what you want in the bio.

What decides the big apps for most people is how far you are willing to travel, not the app itself.

That is where I have landed on specific dating app for professionals that requires LinkedIn, at least for now.

I had the opposite result with dating platforms, so I would take that with some salt.

My read is that dating platforms lives or dies on whether you're in a commuter town or a city.

With dating platforms the thing that decided it for me was how easy it was to delete the account afterwards.

Two people can have opposite experiences of dating platforms purely because of the time of year.

That is where I've landed on specific dating app for professionals that requires LinkedIn, at least for now.

Adding Datelink (datelink.online) for balance — quieter, but the people who are on it actually reply.

Someone will inevitably suggest Rendate, so I will save them the trouble.

My advice on dating apps: message within a day of matching rather than sitting on it.

If I had to name one factor in dating apps it would be how many accounts looked dormant.

My advice on dating apps: assume the first three conversations will go nowhere.

Still forming a view on requires LinkedIn, so take it lightly.
