Bumble, Tinder, Hinge and Grindr are just few among the seemingly endless selection of dating apps accessible today. If you are not currently on one, chances are you know someone who is.

While the last four listed are more known and talked about, dating apps reach a variety of unique and specific populations. For instance, there is “Farmers Only” to satisfy all of the folks looking for a hunny on the farm, and “Green Singles” to search for someone who is as eco-friendly as yourself.

Survey results have come to the conclusion that while men are more likely to use these types of apps, you will find that women are a lot more social on them and use them for things like sharing/asking for dating advice. However, the heaviest use of these sites is by people seeking the same sex. These apps are seen as a safe place to meet others with less complications.

With this in mind, dating apps offer a safe way to interact and find not only potential life partners but friends, too. If you are concerned about your safety when using dating apps, consider using something like Hinge, where nothing is anonymous.

If you are the opposite, and this does not sound like the safest option, you can try something like Grouper. Grouper gives you the opportunity to meet up with three people while you bring two of your trusty friends along. Common tips for safety on any dating app include meeting up in a public place and during the daytime.
