Dating Services

Tencent, China’s largest social networking platform and operator of the immensely popular app WeChat, has launched a new dating app that seems positioned to compete with both Tinder and Tantan, China’s most popular dating app.

Qingliao - roughly translated as “light chat” – is kind of a hybrid of different dating app features already on the market. There is no swiping, but users can choose to “like” or “pass” on a potential match by choosing an “X” or a heart. When two users are matched, they can start chatting, according to details described in South China Morning Post.

Recipient
MillionaireMatch

MillionaireMatch is the 2020 recipient of the Editor's Top Pick - Wealthy award. This dating service is one of the popular choices for singles who are wealthy (men and women) and who are looking for other attractive singles (usually younger) to spend time and share their lifestyle with. This dating service is 4.3 million plus members strong with most coming from the United States, United Kingdom, and Canada.

Got the hots for your married boss? Or the cutie in accounting? If you’ve fantasized about having a fling with a taken colleague, a naughty new dating service is here to help.

Affair at Work is designed to help attached employees “safely” cheat on their partners in the workplace. Although dating services for affair-seekers are nothing new (Ashley Madison is the most notable among them), Affair at Work takes a slightly different approach. The service works via Instagram and is centered around the idea of verifying if an office crush shares your interest.

Recipient
Adult FriendFinder

Adult Friend Finder is the recipient of the 2020 Editors Top Pick - Hookup award. This is a tricky category because a lot of adult hookup dating services in this niche while present well, in fact have little to no members, and are just filled with paid models. Adult Friend Finder (AFF) is different in part because it has been around so long (it launched in 1996). It is an actual site meant for real men and women to find each other and hookup. In fact they have had over 90 million members since launch with close to 70 million from the United States.

Recipient
SilverSingles

The recipient of the 2020 Dating Sites Reviews Editor's Top Pick - Senior Award is SilverSingles. This dating service which is accessible via their website at SilverSingles.com and available as a dating app on iOS and Android phones is designed for singles 50 years and older. It is owned by Sparks Network which is the second largest online dating company in North America in terms of subscribers (just behind the Match Group). Being part of a large international company that has been in business since the late nineties means they have a lot of experience on what works and what does not when it comes to online dating. A lot of research went into the design and features of this service and it shows when you sign up for the first time.
