So, you’ve found yourself back on the single market again. Finding the right person was hard enough pre-corona but with all the dating apps out there now (over 1,500 to be exact-ish), how are you supposed to know which ones are worth it and which ones are a total waste of time? We’re glad you asked.

Dating apps have become the next best thing to pick up a date during the pandemic and with their super high success rates and convenience, they’ve managed to reel in even the hopeless romantics. Whether you’re looking for love, casual dating, or even looking to experiment, there’s a dating app out there for it.

We like to think no one is crazy enough to have signed up to over 1000 dating apps (and we definitely wouldn’t recommend it), so we’ve put together a selection of the top 10 best dating apps for men in 2021.

1. Tinder

You’re probably already on this dating app. But just in case you aren’t, simply swipe right for yes and left for no on each profile that you come across. It had a bad rep of being a hookup app when it first entered the dating scene (depending on what you’re looking for that is), but now you could be one swipe away from finding your soulmate.

As Tinder can be used for both serial dating and serious relationships, it’s important you actually read the bios and not get distracted by their photos. They’ll tell you everything you need to know. If they don’t, there’s no harm in asking. It’s 2021, telling a woman what you want straight up is no longer seen as desperate. You’re now a go-getter. With the global pandemic being the cockblock of the century, no one has any more time to waste. It’ll show you value your time and theirs which is a win-win in our eyes.

If you’re fed up with being catfished, Tinder has introduced the verified blue tick to confirm you’re talking to the right person (and no, you don’t need to be a hotshot celebrity to have one). All you have to do is take a few pictures in different poses and upload them in private to Tinder. If you’re who you say you are, you’ll be approved. As the majority of people on the dating app use this feature, it’s best that you do too otherwise you’ll probably be accused of being a catfish.
