Alternatives to Tinder: 3 apps for dating and finding a partner

The Internet has become the preferred medium for looking for a partner and that is why many developers are creating specialized applications for society.

Here are three recommendations for dating apps, many free:

Stir

There are tons of dating apps on the internet and many that deal with finding a partner, but very few focus on single parents.

This is the space that Stir occupies, to attract the attention of those who are looking for a partner and not think “let's see when I mention that I have children”.

Stir is an app designed to help single parents meet, chat and date people who also have children.

The Stir app, available for the web, as well as for iOS and Android, asks questions about personality and values, then displays potential matches, always keeping in mind the zip codes provided.

Since it is difficult for single moms and dads to coordinate schedules, the app has a feature called Stir Time that allows you to see “the time available” to help couples find the right time for a date. The busy schedule can be displayed on each profile.

Hinge

Translated as “hinge”, this app has as its main objective the formation of successful relationships.

Therefore, it is special for those people who still believe in love, but who are afraid to go out and look for it in the real world, and prefer to have a more or less tacit idea of the person they will meet during a date.

Unlike most dating apps, it has a vertical and not horizontal swipe system. That is, one user does not 'dismiss' the other to the right or left (depending on the app), but instead sends up a person who, although it wasn't to their liking, was not so disastrous as to 'throw' them on the side of the screen either.

OkCupid

Everyone knows that most people who enter a dating app don't arrive precisely thinking about finding the love of their life; it would be a deception to deny that people looking for this type of platform do so with the aim of ending up being intimate with someone else.

However, wouldn't it be great if the person you cross paths with has personal, social and even political tastes that are the same or similar to yours instead of just having a beautiful body or face?

This is precisely what OkCupid offers, an app that, although not only used to be able to flirt, offers this type of service, although with slightly different features.

Within its configuration, people can establish a profile according to current political and social problems, and their respective posture or taste towards them.
