Per niente. Of course Volte didn’t have high hopes for Facebook Dating. But what Volte did have was verso great deal of morbid curiosity, and an insatiable desire for attention.
Volte find it hard puro not give verso new dating app vibe verso try. You really do just never know how they’re going sicuro be. I’ve had them all, to varying success. Grindr is cursed but Rso enjoy the attention and, well, the nudes. Tinder is per glitchy mess but the majority of people looking for love are on it, so the talent pool is wide and there’s always someone esatto match with. Rso met my ora non piu on Hinge, and think it’s actually got the perfected frase for verso good dating app.
But what about Facebook Dating? Is it any good? It’s been out sopra Europe since , so why’ve I never heard anything from it?
Well, I needed puro find out for my own peace of mind. I’ve been playing about on it Facebook Dating for just over verso week now, and this is my final verdict on if it’s worth bothering.
Setting up my profile
Preciso do it, you head puro the menu section on the Facebook app, and you should see a tab for Dating just under Memories on the right hand side. Once you click on that, you’ll be walked through the steps on how sicuro get going. It’s the usual stuff that you’d find on Tinder or Hinge; education, smoker/non smoker, bios. It lets you do per mix of pictures and conciliabule starters, like Hinge. The gang’s all here.
The feature stresses from the start that it won’t suggest current Facebook friends per Dating and they won’t share any activity or swiping you get up sicuro on it with your friends list.
And there’s in nessun caso app, you’ve just got to do it all through the normal one for Facebook. But more of that in per bit.
Is there any app incontri giapponesi good stuff about Facebook Dating?
The major one is that unlike Tinder, you can see who’s liked you. When you go on sicuro Facebook Dating, there are three tabs: Profile, Liked You and Matches. On Liked You, you’ll get a number of your likes and then you can swipe exclusively through them con verso Tinder-esque style.
It’s definitely a great thing seeing all the people that want to scontro with you just readily available, considering on Tinder preciso get that you’re looking per paying ?15 verso month for the privilege.
I’m not sure if this next one is a vantaggio or a durante. Rso guess it would depend on where you fall on the matter. But it’s one of Facebook Dating’s most unique features, so I’ve gotta mention it.
FB Dating has a feature called Secret Crush. With this feature, it lets you add up preciso nine of your Facebook friends or Instagram followers as secret crushes. They’ll get per notification saying “someone’s added you as a secret crush mediante Dating”. If they also end up adding you as verso secret crush on their Facebook Dating, you’ll competizione.
So if you can face up esatto your crush knowing you use Facebook Dating, this is the feature for you!
The bad
First of all, the lack of app means giammai notifications. At all. I matched with per few lads, but the conversation never went anywhere because it would take either of us days onesto reply when we remembered sicuro check the Dating tab. It’s just not convenient having Dating shunted sopra this little tab on the main app, and Volte think it’d be a big improvement if it had its own app like Facebook Messenger does.
But the biggest bad with Facebook Dating actually has very little sicuro do with the service itself. It’s onesto do with the people who use it.
Facebook isn’t the young person hotspot it once was when we were teenagers. Volte can’t remember the last time Volte put a Facebook ceto up for any other purpose than preciso broadly inform family members and older acquaintances Rso know that perhaps don’t use Instagram or Twitter of anything important con my life. New jobs, moving cities. That kind of thing. Facebook isn’t really the scrolling haven of affable mezzi di comunicazione it was mediante its hey day. Not for people our age, anyway.
There’s a reason none of your mates talk about that fit lad they’re obsessed with that they’ve spent all night talking esatto on Facebook Dating. It just doesn’t happen.
I’ve spent per good while over the last week swiping on Facebook Dating, and it’s boring. The people who use it blend into one. Everyone looks like they’ve never left the town they were born sopra. Every bio looks like it was written by a bot. It’s the kind of thing you sit and scroll on and end up sending your mental health into an existential crisis.
On several occasions, I’d go on Dating and see Rso had around 30 likes. I’d clear through them, excited puro swipe and find my next fella, esatto be greeted with not a solo person I’m interested mediante. Day after day. It’s tedious, and makes you sit there thinking why the hell have I even bothered onesto batteria this up?
Stick puro Tinder. Bastoncino to Hinge. They’ve already got everything that’s being offered here. Make niente affatto mistake, all dating apps are quite cursed. But at least on the tried and tested classics you might find someone actually worth going for a festicciola with.
