Those who steered clear of online dating in the past due to a lack of inclusive language can now be themselves and find kindred souls without conforming to labels. OkCupid has also been around forever, and since it's a trusted name means that it has a robust lesbian following. The massive pool may be overwhelming, but it's ideal if you who want lots of options but would rather die than use Tinder. The cost: OkCupid is free to register and download, and the most basic features that you'll need messaging, matching, etc. Image: Plenty of fish. Plenty of Fish Plenty of Fish has a large user base and its questionnaires help you find someone you'll have chemistry with, but it's not bisexual-friendly.
The gist: One of the first dating websites to launch ever , Plenty of Fish is one of those sites that everyone has heard of and is likely the first place people go to if they're not into the Tinders of the world.
LGBT Dating with a difference | EliteSingles
While the registration process requires some pretty heavy duty question answering, it's only because POF wants to help you find actual chemistry. They're a trusted name for a reason. POF's advertising isn't as aimed toward the younger crowd as OkCupid's "Hey, we're gay" billboards are, so POF's audience is slightly skewed with a more mature audience. The setup: Plenty of Fish is one of the older sites out there, and its aesthetic honestly looks like it hasn't been updated since The website isn't very intuitive or nice to look at, but we'll ignore that the iOS and Android apps are much better looking than the desktop version.
The matchmaking process is super in-depth: Aside from the usual questions about age, height, body type, etc. Of course, you'll also write a bio and add pictures as well.
7 of the best dating sites for lesbians (and why they are actually good)
Our point? They really want to get to know you. Why it works: Launched in just a year before OkCupid , Plenty of Fish has been an extremely strong player in the online dating game and has one of the highest number of daily users over 3. Chemistry is the name of the game here, and the multiple questionnaires are no joke. This isn't a quick five-second set up like other apps, as POF truly wants you to dig deep so that they can give you the best quality matches.
Not only does POF attempt to match you with people who you'll statistically get along with based on answers to questions, it also wants to match you with people who are looking for the same thing as you. In the "meeting goals" section, you'll specify whether you're looking for something long term, looking to date but nothing serious, etc. That's eliminating awkward "What are we" conversations and setting you up for success by pairing you with people with similar priorities. T he bummers: It's not bisexual friendly. Bisexual erasure is one of the most common letdowns we've seen across any dating site.
A site with the M. Somehow, this isn't hurting POF's numbers at all, but it's something to consider if you're looking for both. The cost: POF is free to register and most of the must-have features are free, which is rare. Image: hinge. Hinge Hinge will help you get to know the other person more deeply than any new app has attempted. The gist: We'll start off by saying that Hinge refers to itself as the "The Relationship App," but our personal favorite self-proclaimed nickname is the "anti Tinder.
Instead of basing matches solely off location, Hinge takes your Facebook and will only match you with friends of friends.

So if you're tired of meeting really weird randos who are not who they say they are , Hinge wants to aid in pairing people who have mutual friends. You scroll and judge people off of pictures and small bios like you would on Tinder or Bumble, but it doesn't deserve to be thrown in the "sketchy hookup app" category. The setup: Hinge's recent makeover that caused it to explode with popularity brings a professional new look to previously swipe-only dating apps.
It's literally like scrolling through Instagram, and there are no dead ends from a wrong swipe. Hinge's CEO Justin McLeod has said that it's like "Instagram profiles for dating," and that beta testing has seen five times more conversation that it did when Hinge was a swiping app. Not swiping one by one is seriously nice if you're making the jump from Tinder, and seeing a few matches in your daily batch gives you more time to consider options without making split decisions. Hinge requires Facebook syncing and imports things like pictures, last names, as well as relationship status as a way to weed out cheaters or straight couples looking for threesomes.
To avoid people swiping at the speed of light and going through everyone in their area in an hour, Hinge starts out by only giving you seven matches per day. That can increase to 15 if you invite more friends to use the app, but this is Hinge's way of slowing down the process and making it less about finding a quick hookup. Aside from a bio, every user answers icebreakers that are featured on their profiles, giving anyone who wants to message them an easy in at thinking of a creative and relevant opening line.
AKA you won't have to text a screenshot to your friends asking if your first message to someone is okay. Hinge wants to encourage more early conversation, which in turn leads to more meeting IRL. While Hinge started out as an app that shows you Facebook friends of friends, their algorithm has been getting smarter and smarter, and is now able to surpass friends of friends as a predictor of compatibility — so you won't be matched with someone horrendous just because you know the same person.
Rather, Hinge will help you get to know the other person more deeply than any new app has attempted, by revealing answers to juicy personality questions and detailed information like future plans, religion, and vices. Seems like a pretty good recipe for a strong connection past looks, right? Plus, because you have a mutual connection, a double date with your mutual friend and someone else is a fun and not-so-nerve-wracking way to meet for the first time and could get things off the ground faster.
Unlike Tinder and Bumble, which seem to have a broken gaydar, Hinge won't throw random guys into your feed when you've selected women only. The exclusivity is definitely annoying, but Hinge's encouragement to actually talk to the other person to find out information gives you a way to smooth out discrepancies right off the bat. The cost: Hinge is free to download and the basic features you'll need like messaging and matching are free.
Image: Bumble. Bumble Bumble stands out for letting you "backtrack" and insisting you message your matches within 24 hours. The gist: Again, Bumble is mostly hetero focused, but that doesn't mean it's completely worthless for the queer women of the world. For hetero matches, Bumble is known for their "girls have to message first rule," but that obviously doesn't apply to woman-woman matches.
Meet Gay, Lesbian, Bi & Trans
But here's where the helpful part comes in: Bumble requires you to message within the first 24 hours, so if you're tired of looking at a list of Tinder or OkCupid matches from six months ago and actually want to force yourself to get to know people, this could be a good comfort zone pusher.
