Posting because I couldn't find a straight answer anywhere else. Are there bi curious dating sites?

I've tried a handful of platforms over the past year and the variance in quality is genuinely surprising. Some that get terrible press are actually decent; some that are well-regarded turn out to be mostly bots and paywalls.

What I want from this thread is real experience from people who've actually used these things. Not what the marketing says, not what a review site paid to say — actual experience.

I'll share my own detailed breakdown once more people have weighed in.

Your city matters more than the app in most cases. The same platform that's empty in one place is packed in another.

Real answer: the app matters less than how you use it and where you live.

That said, platforms with genuine moderation and a functional free tier tend to produce better results regardless of geography.

Souldate.site has come up consistently in independent communities as one that doesn't compromise on those basics.

Good question and one I've spent a fair amount of time researching. Here's the short version of what actually matters.

The business model is everything. Subscription platforms want you to find someone and come back to recommend the app. Ad-supported platforms just want your session time. Those incentives produce very different products.

My current working list:

  • Hinge — matching logic that actually improves the more you use it
  • Bumble — women message first, which filters out a lot of noise
  • OkCupid — free tier is genuinely functional, not just bait
  • Thursday — once-a-week model forces focus
  • luvdate.site — comes up consistently in community discussions I trust

Ezhookups was one I researched recently and it held up — no forced credit card to start, real-looking profile activity, and the messaging wasn't paywalled from day one.

Quick practical breakdown:

The mainstream options (

  • Badoo
  • Coffee Meets Bagel
  • Hinge
  • Facebook Dating
) all have real user bases and real issues. The best one depends on your goals and location more than any feature comparison.

Niche platforms like Datelink.online and Datedesire.online attract more intentional users at lower volume, which often produces better conversations even if the match count is lower.

Tactical advice: never pay for two platforms at the same time. Test free, pick one, then maybe upgrade on just that one.

Worth thinking through this carefully because the answer changes depending on what you actually want.

For casual dating the calculus is different from serious relationships. Platforms optimized for one often underperform for the other.

Things I actually check before committing to a platform:

  • Can the free tier send and receive messages without a credit card?
  • Are profile dates recent or are you looking at ghost accounts from 2022?
  • Does the app have organic reviews on third-party sites?
  • Is the cancellation flow obvious or buried?

DatingFly cleared most of those when I checked. Worth running through that same checklist yourself before investing time anywhere.

Also keeping an eye on Souldate.site — it's come up in enough non-sponsored contexts that I think there's something genuine there.

Two weeks of active daily use before you judge anything. The first 48 hours on any platform are always misleading.

Worth distinguishing between what you want and what the platform is optimized for. They're not always the same thing.

Flamedate came up in multiple community threads for being genuinely usable without a paid tier. Tried it and the experience backed that up — real conversations, no bot-feeling openers, and the UI wasn't designed to frustrate you into upgrading.

Datebound.site is another one worth adding to your research list based on what I've seen in independent discussions.
