Being a woman on the internet is hard. Being a woman trying to find a genuine connection on the internet is even harder. And when that internet is littered with emboldened creeps and AI profiles that pique more curiosity than the real ones, apparently, applying to be on Love Island may start to seem like a sane alternative.
That said, meeting someone great online isn’t impossible. With a bit of common sense, a personalized list of dating non-negotiables, and a game plan (for which we’ve set some guidelines below), there’s no need to rule dating apps out as a place to find romance, a wedding date, or an animate alternative to your sex toy collection.
So, which dating app is best for women?
Circling back to that common sense we just mentioned — there’s no hard and fast answer singling out a single dating app as the one every woman will love. We can, however, provide recommendations based on your ideal entanglement situation: Don’t want men to be able to message you first? Bumble. Don’t want any cishet men to infiltrate your queer dating pool at all? HER. Simply want a less gamified feel than Tinder — or a free ride to the airport? Hinge.
But really, we know online dating is exhausting — so we’ve done the hands-on work to find dating apps that go beyond superficial swiping and generic profiles. Of course, if you are looking for superficial swiping, we have some options for that, too. Based on our personal experience looking for love, lust, and friendship online, here are the best dating apps for women in any situation:
