100 free alternative dating site

Verdict: The more you think about it, the less sense Down makes.

Isn't the whole point of internet dating that you can meet someone new?

Parading the hottest – and least obtainable – women in front of your face every time you log in feels a little bit manipulating / cynical.

Verdict: A dating app where women need not fear to tread, where the sting of rejection is largely removed for you. Pros: Less shallow than just swiping from a picture.

Cons: Tweets are still not a totally accurate picture of someone.

Verdict: A well-intended app that tries to convey your personality rather than just transferring your Instagram feed but the pressure to think up facts can be overwhelming.

Cons: Just because you both like Kings of Leon doesn't really mean you're made for each other...

Chances are you live or work in the same area, so arranging a date becomes a lot simpler.

Cons: After sending someone a message, you're notified when they're checking your profile, which means you can actually see yourself being rejected in real time. Verdict: Pulling together the best elements of other older dating apps, Inner Circle is the best all-rounder out there with the highest quantity of people you'd actually like to meet.

£5 a week for the advanced user options is just too much, though.

Whether you love or loathe Tinder, there is no denying it has changed online dating forever.

As a result there is now no end of apps with the same aim of helping you fall in love (or at the very least get lucky).
