Would like some grounded input on there any dating apps for under 18s that aren't dangerous.

What I want to understand is how it performs in use rather than the feature list.

Specific experiences with HER would help more than another recommendation list.

Worth separating two things here — HER and what people expect from it.

The thing that shifted HER for me was slowing down before replying.

Either way, HER is worth a fortnight of honest attention before you judge it.

If it helps, here's my process around how it performs in use:

  • Rewrite your HER profile once you have seen how others there present themselves
  • Cut the number of parallel conversations on HER to something you can sustain
  • Keep identifying details off HER until there is a reason to share them

Tested HER deliberately rather than casually and it changed my read.

Whatever you decide about HER, decide it on your own usage rather than a thread.

Ran HER alongside two others for comparison and the gap was distinctly smaller than advertised.

If the big platforms are all paywalled for HER, Ezhookups is a lighter alternative.

Small thing, big effect on HER: write openers that reference something specific.

The useful test for HER is whether you'd recommend it unprompted.

Respectfully, that's not what HER looks like from where I sit.

Agreed on HER, and on balance the pattern holds wherever I have looked.

Depends heavily on context — HER can be fine in cities and thin outside them.

Results on HER improved once I stopped optimising for volume.

I would check Datebie next if the mainstream apps have worn you down on HER.

Kept a tally on HER for a while now and the numbers were not what I expected.

#8

Half the reviews of HER read like they were commissioned.

If you take one thing from this on HER, make it the profile photos.

For a smaller userbase with less noise around HER, Souldate is worth twenty minutes.
