You might not go out with someone just because they also like PUBG but it's a foot in a door. Verdict: For the shy dater, this is a godsend: there are so many icebreakers at hand to give you a simple in with whoever you're chatting to, plus the audio call functionality is both more intimate than just text and less open to abuse than video calling. Suspicions that the Metaverse-lite interface is a bit too close to the thing Zuckerberg wants to boot you and your consciousness into will persist. Depending on how much you liked Habbo Hotel, you might find the interface endearingly retro or maddeningly cutesy.Ĭons: The clientele definitely skews younger, which might make you feel extremely 'How do you do fellow kids'. Play games, hang out with people, and audio chat with new mates. Pros: It's not just a case of sifting through pictures – there's the Kippoverse to wander around, looking something like a GameBoy era Pokémon universe.
It's the dating app for proud nerds and hardened gamers. Fill out a form detailing which games you love plus the usual trad stuff about what you're looking for in a friend/partner, and on you go. Kippo doesn't style itself explicitly as a dating app, rather a place to find friends and hang out, but there's certainly a lot of sifting through profiles in hope of matching with people you fancy in the time-honoured manner. The USP: Liking the same things is the starting point of so many relationships, it does make a lot of sense to build a dating app around finding the fandoms and subcultures you're into already.
Verdict: Like a more intense reworking of OK Cupid, but without the charm or easy functionality for a casual user, this one feels like it's got some way to go before it goes overground. Plus, the pool of people in the UK isn't gigantic. There are a lot of extremely grumpy reviews from people struggling to make head or tail of the app. Pros: There's an ID check feature which feels extremely sensible, and the emphasis on finding a match for you who does actually fit what you want and who you are is a good thing.Ĭons: You register for free, but then there's a fair old monthly fee of £14.90 for the basic membership package – and it'll renew automatically, so you'd best not forget about it. Imagine Thomas Tuchel reading this bit of bumph from the website: "Sounds complicated. The idea is that Parship uses strictly objective, scientific processes to matchmake, which does rather click with the comedy German stereotype. This Hamburg-headquartered company leads with a couple of facts: a 38 percent success rate for premium Parship members and 23,000 new members each week. The USP: The serious dating site for serious daters.
