Badoo Dating: Meet New People 17+

Rating

after my first ex, (who inwas in relationship with 1 week in 2014), i was madly ij love with him for 10.5 years. talked to some guys during those years bc my ex didnt want to be in a relationship. after awhile, i gave up on other guys and settled to be friends with benefits with him. feburary 2nd 2025, i hung out w my ex. my first ex is my twin flame (so life changing stuff, healing, coindendences happened everytime after seeing him). feburary 3rd 2025, i met someone from badoo. it was supposed to be a hookup. second day we hung out, i fell in love with him. never have stopped loving him (except in moments i feel angry). i never thought id love anyone again, at least as much as my first ex. the guy i met from badoo, we have been together then exes then friends w benefits. as of this morning, we are friends w benefits. im okay with that for now because i love him more than my first and third ex. i love this guy from badoo more than anything. i had a chance to be with someone stable. but this guy popped back in my life unexpected the other night. as of today, id rather deal with all the obstacles, secretiveness of our hangouts over a normal relationship. beyond grateful for God sending mento Baddo and Badoo existing so i met him. i love him so much his name is tattooed on me (not even my first ex's name is tattooed on me). Thank you Badoo so i could meet this angel-a gift from God.

Attributes

This app would be perfect if it collected height and weight as required fields. Lol. Because inquiring minds want to know.

After submitting the above feedback I received sn email from the Badoo development team (see below). I find their argument regarding weight to be, while noble, also to be rather selective. The app collects and presents age, for example, as a required field. They don’t merely confirm that each user is of legal adult age. This is ageism; shouldn’t a 48 year old man be considered just as worthy to date a woman of any legal age as a man half his age? I’m a 48 year old American man and I am often mistaken for 30 by females here in SE Asia where I’m living my early retirement years. Why should I have to reveal my actual age, which might cause a young woman to filter me out of her consideration? There seems some selective prejudice going on here.
Thanks for your feedback 🙌 We believe all of our members are beautiful inside and out. We do not, would never, and are very opposed to the idea of having an algorithm to filter users based on weight. We believe love and connections are better unfiltered and come in all shapes and sizes 💜"

Great app, overall. Definitely a growing user-base. What I’ve stated continually when being promoted for reviews is that “it’s still growing on me— if Badoo turns out NOT to cripple functionality in favor of becoming ‘pay-to-play’ then I’ll consider it ideal.” Unfortunately, I’m being met with very inconsistent in-app messaging. “Swipe 50 times for your perfect match” — then, some arbitrary number of swipes later (as little as 3 to as many as 20), I’m told “That’s all your swipes [BUY] Premium!” Um, no thanks. I consistently rated this app high because they afford communication via advertisements & viewing them. Furthermore, the purchase of credits isn’t terribly expensive. I will not, however, commit to a monthly statement over a sub-par dating app. I simply won’t. If anyone at Badoo cares to listen, here it is:
You’re making the PRECISE mistake every other app/platform makes— you’re banking on the notion that you can “hook” everyone; when you realize you cannot, you simply disable our ability to use your app. It’s unacceptable. I reside in one of the single largest metropolitan areas of the USA. There are some 9,000,000 residents. I see countless “new members” DAILY. YET, here I am— “out of swipes.” And that’s a wrap, I suppose.
Folks, it’s good for precisely 4 weeks— UNLESS you ACTUALLY use it a significant amount. In that case, you’ll likely be shut down even faster. It was nice while it lasted; I had hope. ✌🏼
