In May last year, I wrote about a new dating app called Qemistry. I believe I used the term ‘gimmick’ only once, but the entire piece was firmly against the app, which seemed to genuinely believe it was heralding the next sexual revolution by replacing photographs on dating sites with short videos. I published the
It’s interesting to consider how our dating habits have changed in the past decade. I would argue that the currently accepted use of online dating, through sites and apps, has led to a sexual revolution that rivals the one in the 1960s, spearheaded by the newly minted contraceptive pill. Then, people could have far more
There is, in my opinion, nothing funnier than something that claims to be utterly unique but is actually very ordinary. Especially if it’s coupled with an absolute sense of sincerity and an utter lack of awareness that anyone would find it amusing. Looking through the website for FDBK, I kept switching between laughing out loud
There are few things more funny than when two unrelated subjects share an acronym or initialism. For example, MLM can refer either to Men Loving Men (in a sexual/romantic way) or to Multi-Level Marketing (not *technically a pyramid scheme, but still a huge scam). The newest words to confuse people? “Ghost singles”. Anyone who is
Toffees are lovely. They’re sweet and delicious with a lovely texture. Of course, you wouldn’t want to eat more than one because then they’re sickly and sticky and unpleasant. So it’s perfectly fitting that the Toffee app sounds great at first but quickly becomes, well, gross. Toffee launched in the UK a few years ago and

In reality, of course, it’s an opportunity
Bumble and TikTok are coupling up! Unfortunately, it’s not so that they can fall in love, and we probably won’t see them grey haired and holding hands, surrounded by their grandchildren – but they hope that their pairing might help others to achieve the same thing. So let’s see what all of this is about.
There are a few things most people do but don’t admit to. A lot of people speed, jaywalk, check their ex’s Instagram, pee in the shower and have picked their nose in public once or twice. Popped an experimental finger up their asshole. Honked their own boob. Wanted to tell their friend that they’ve been
You’ve probably heard of sugar babies and sugar daddies at some point, and the concept of sugar dating is often met with criticism whenever the topic is brought up. There are also a lot of misconceptions surrounding sugar dating. This causes unwarranted negative opinions and judgmental stances on sugar dating, but the fact is, it
Dating apps are usually very clear about their purpose. It’s literally in the name: they’re there to help you date. They might want you to find a one night stand, or perhaps they’re geared towards lasting relationships and even marriage. But as any good business person will tell you, diversifying your company is a good
