There’s no question that in the past few years the online dating game has been rigged.
Gone are the days of simply presenting single people with other single people, sending them on a date and letting fate decide. Open a dating app now, and you’re inundated with endless faces and torsos, encouraged to dispose of or commit to matching with complete strangers all within half a second of seeing them. They sacrifice quality for quantity, turning dating into a game and ultimately drawing you in and keeping you on their app for as long as possible.
But not all dating apps aggressively target your precious time. The Inner Circle is the only dating app that is actually helping you to hack the system and ultimately get a successful date out of it.
Be aware of time wasting.
Resist the swipe culture and fight against the apps that attempt to consume your attention. Spend short bursts of time really focussing on the profiles, 30 minutes can slip away when mindlessly scrolling in front of a film. If you find a match, take the time to study their profile and make genuine, honest conversation with all of them.
Be picky.
Matching with someone who you don’t think is right for you is a waste of their time, and yours. Trust your gut. Remember, if you match with someone you think genuinely could be a future date, message them first. People are shy and you have to take control.
Be informed, swiping does not work.
All it does is encourage mindless sifting past potential matches. You need to make sure you wise up and go for apps that focus on the important stuff: common interests, location, age, and any other metrics you find critical. For example, The Inner Circle manually verifies each new member to make sure they have an actual interest in dating and that their profiles are completely honest, before matching you with them based on the chance for a genuine connection. It’s practical, effective, and saves you a serious amount of time.
Apps like The Inner Circle take dating seriously. They get you offline as soon as possible, in the knowledge that dating happens in real life between two people. The ‘Spots’ feature means you can find a date location in seconds, and the monthly events enable singles to miss out the app all together and go straight to actually meeting. It’s genius.
You can register for The Inner Circle here, try it for yourself and see what you think of smarter dating.
