    I believe the app you’re referring to is Bumble. Hinge is nice because you can send a message to a potential match that they can see before they swipe on you. It’s how I met my wife!

            the straights are the sad desperate type who can’t pair up anymore.

            the gays are doing just fine.

          You’re forgetting Plenty of Fish, Badoo, and Match.com, where all the rejects, toxic people, single parents of four children, and other various degenerates and undesirables go after striking out with everyone on the big three.

          Often overlooked, but very relevant.

          There’s also the various niche sites like Christian Mingle, Black People Meet, and Farmers Only.

            none of those have been relevant for well over a decade .

            like, yeah in 2012 they were a thing. just like match.com and okcupid were in the 2000s. the userbases all collapsed once smart phone and social media became dominant.

            most folks have moved on from that ancient stuff. even tinder is basically a relic these days.
