These days, there are plenty of options when it comes to finding a date. From traditional dating sites and apps to more modern alternatives, there's something for everyone. But which dating app is the most private and secure? Tinder, Bumble, Inner Circle, Luxy, The League, Match, MillionaireMatch, and OkCupid are some of the most popular dating sites and apps. Statistically speaking, dating apps have been found to work.
According to Bumble, more than two-thirds of respondents use apps to find a stable relationship. And if you're a millennial, chances are half of your friends have met their partners through apps. Seeking is the most private dating site. It allows you to browse anonymously and create a private gallery that only certain people can access.
Whether you're looking for a long-term relationship or just a fun adventure, Seeking can help you find someone compatible with your interests and values. OkCupid is owned by Match Group, which also owns Tinder, Plenty of Fish, Match, and several other dating sites. As a result, it can be assumed that Tinder's privacy issues are the same as OkCupid's. They both sell your information to offer “targeted advertising” and require you to activate location services so they can track your location when you use the app.
Additionally, OkCupid has had multiple data breaches. Thursday is another free dating app that works similarly to other apps (create your profile and start swiping). Its ultimate goal is to help users meet, date, and get married if they find “the one”. It also claims to be the first free dating site with a mobile app for iOS and Android users.
Clover is an on-demand version of online dating sites that allows you to make an appointment like you would with a pizza. Zoosk is another option if you feel like other dating sites and apps have let you down. Facebook Dating is another option that allows users to pair up, flirt, and go on dates in a single day—on Thursday. However, not all dating apps or sites are equally friendly to introverts so it's important to know what each one can offer before making a decision.
When using any dating app or site, it's important to think about where your data goes, who has access to it, and how it can be used. The more information you include about yourself in your dating profile, the greater your chances of finding a like-minded date.
