5 Out Of The Box Dating Platforms In India

The feeling of being wanted & being taken care of is desired by every individual. The means for filling that void might differ person to person. The recent spike in the dating platforms due to nationwide lockdown tells us that a lot of these lost souls must have been on some or the other dating platform, depending on their need.

In recent times a lot of interesting & controversial dating platforms have hit the Indian market. Let’s have a look at the top 5 dating platforms, who cater to a certain group of audience among the crowd :P

1.    Gleeden

With over a million Indian users this French extramarital dating platform makes it to the top of the list. The platform is free for women worldwide and caters to an audience who are seeking engagements outside their wedlock. The idea might be considered as a taboo for some but in the hindsight the application is providing a platform; especially for women who have very few options in this male dominant society. The average age group of the audience on this platform is from 34-49 years and the engagements are quite discreet & virtual.

2.    Grindr

Another unique dating platform in the list is Grindr, a popular & dedicated dating application for gay, bi, trans and queer men. The geo-location-based app allows users to safely discover, navigate, and get zero feet away from the queer world around them. The platform also represents a modern LGBTQ lifestyle & community that raises social issues & develops original content for creating a meaningful impact for the community.

3.    QuackQuack

The next dating app in the list is QuackQuack and it’s made it to the top three because of its inception. It’s one of the primary home grown desi dating app that was introduced in the Indian market way back in 2010. Today, it has over 10 million dedicated Indian users who are exchanging millions of chats on a daily basis. The platform has a substantial presence in the metros and is also quite popular in tier 2 and tier 3 cities in the country. For people opting for Made In India, it seems like quite a feasible option.

4.    SeekingArrangement

SeekingArrangement is a dating platform that connects sugar-babies to sugar-daddies and sugar-mommas. The platform is headquartered in Las Vegas and has a user base in excess of 22 million globally. The definition of a sugar-baby is someone who knows their value and refuses to settle, especially in their relationships. A sugar-daddy, on the other hand, is an older man who enjoys supporting his partner, financially & by other means. The dating app is yet to go big in the Indian market but it does have its share of active users.

5.    WooPlus

WooPlus provides space for plus-size women and men for socialization and dating. Its objective is to find partners who are serious about dating plus-size men and women. The platform has been working towards changing attitudes towards a body-obsessed culture and wants to create an environment where curvy people and those who are attracted to curvy people can enjoy dating and find love.
