Niche daters struggle to find partners who share their intent and values
People seeking partners with specific relationship intentions, identities, or compatibility requirements say mainstream dating options make it hard to find suitable matches. They turn to broad apps such as Bumble, Hinge, Lex, or Grindr, or ask social networks whether an app for their needs exists. A shared matching product could address many of these requests, though creative-work hosting and some peer-community needs are separate problems.
For people seeking partners with specific relationship intents or compatibility constraints. Mentioned from Oct 2023 to Sep 2026 on Bluesky.

Okay but is there an app for folks who like thick dudes, because I am struggling out here on bumble/hinge
I’m not on the dating apps or whatever but is there an app for childfree people who want to remain childfree? If not there could be a market for it
