I would guess, in general, that kids (of guys) would be less of a deterrent for girls on the apps, than vice versa


& Looks like I'm about to find out (kids 14&12)

Be prepared to explain yourself, a lot. It's far less common for guys to end up with the kids in a divorce so there will be lots of questions as to what happened.

Also be able to say why in a way that doesn't come off as an attack or sounding bitter about your ex.

My reading comprehension is not good but I believe Oasis is saying kids are less of a dating deterrent to their fathers than they are to their mothers. Custody could likely be a factor.
You may not be a moron, but some people think you are.

But she has it set to "Relationship" of course. Bumble is the worst, get off of there.

As my monthly contribution I've been seeing a girl from hinge for a few weeks and it's going really well, 6-7 dates in at this point. And she's an aggie and under 35

Why is bumble the worst? I jumped on a couple of apps lately and my God it's a shhtshow and bumble seems to be fairly decent compared to the others.

If you have children, it's not going to work with someone who doesn't.

Maybe depends on where you are or what you're looking for. Quality of my matches on hinge was incomparably better than bumble and had a way better percentage that could actually converse lol. Hinge just seemed more serious I guess, less "swipey" so more effort by both sides

On apps or dates? I did try one month of premium or whatever hinge calls it and I think it was probably worth it.

Dates.. way too damn high. It doesn't bother me much though, I was picking places I wanted to try anyway so worst case I wasn't completely wasting my time and money

There are totally normal bio's on bumble but I don't post those on here because that is not the point of the thread.

Just joined Hinge. Having better success with connections than with Bumble. Think it is because I can actually comment or say something with my like whereas with Bumble it is straight aesthetics for the match basically

Update:

35, divorced and two kids (7&5). Been dating a woman from bumble for over a month now and it's going well. She is 38, never married, no kids, owns her own home and has a solid career. She's taller which has shrunken her dating pool.

There's hope out there fellas (and ladies over 35)

Nope, she just wants a man that can reach the top shelf so she doesn't always have to.

Not true. I know plenty of single girls and guys without kids open to dating people with kids. One of my good friends got remarried to a girl who couldn't have kids of her own and was happy to get to be a mom. The stigma isn't what a lot of people make it out to be.

Tried hinge a while back and got absolutely nothing.

Havent paid for any apps but I've heard thats a way to weed out scammers and other trash. On the other hand maybe I'm trash too or DBU and that's why I'm not faring well. Not enough data to know yet.
