### 1/5 — Not what it seems

*2025-03-16*

Right away I connected with what seemed like two very warm and friendly matches. What I discovered is that when I asked them to verify they were real with a selfie, they wouldn’t. After commenting that I questioned the legitimacy of their profiles the both replied with the exact same sentence, “that word is really hurting me”. After letting one of them know I didn’t believe their profile was real because it was full of screen shots , they confessed “fine I’m not who I say I am”. 

Be wary using this app. I’ve checked quite a few profiles by doing a Facebook people search and none of the prospects showed up in the small towns in which they claimed to live. If you’re looking for a match it may be better to try your luck on a more reputable dating site.

### 2/5 — AI Chatbot Cash Grab

*2025-03-15*

Once you get on here it’s pretty blatantly obvious it’s a bot farm, and every conversation is a demo you’ll hit a paywall with pretty soon.

Imho if you’re going to market yourself as a dating app, have real people on it. If you’re going to have a bot farm to hold ai conversations, market yourself as that—there’s an interest in it truthfully. I won’t subscribe here because it’s pretending to be one when it’s the other and I’m not trying to have practice conversations or support duplicity right now.

If you need help with conversation, this type of platform seems fine enough at the free level if you’re good with them ending relatively soon. The layout is also clean and easy to use, those are my only positive experiences with the platform, however.
