Alternative dating apps

COFFEE MEETS BAGEL

If you’re sick of swiping and trawling through endless profiles, this might be the app for you. Coffee Meets Bagel (CMB) uses a smart algorithm to find potential matches you might like based on your criteria. Everyday at noon, CMB sends you potential matches, or ‘bagels’, who you can choose to match with or subtly pass.

JIGSAW

Jigsaw promises to ‘change the face of dating’ by making it anonymous and putting less onus on looks. When you match with someone and get chatting, you can see everything about them – the backgrounds of their pictures, and their bodies – but faces are blurred out. Like a jigsaw, pieces of the puzzle are removed the more messages you exchange.

BRISTLR

If you love a bit of facial hair on your man, Bristlr will help you find your perfect bearded match!
