normal dating apps dont work in china. I already use hellotalk but hellotalk even works in germany for me, so I dont see the point

do you guys use apps from the chinese app store or something? I am in a tier 2 city and the stack of bumble is like 30 people. tinder has like 70. tantan is a little better but there's some sort of fuckery going on.

how in the world do you guys make it work here? scouring the net people online seem to be complaining lately too, which was not at all my experience just 5 years ago.

hellotalk obviously works but its such a timesink I am trying to find something else. maybe that's just the state of the world lately, that only hellotalk works. fwiw hellotalk works for me even in the first world. so going to china is hardly an improvement on that front

any input?

No idea; maybe you need to stick to the Tier 1’s and also the non-mainland/external Sinosphere even when using the biggest foreign dating apps, such as Tinder, Bumble, etc and whatever else…
 
I am in kunming. kunming was the best city in the world 5 years ago

my plan was specifically to avoid tier 1s because women tend to have worse attitudes and I speak passable mandarin.

alex, in particular I am surprised you get by with just bumble. there is no one on it. or do you just not even bother looking for women when you go to like xinjiang and assorted places?

idk bro, guess you’re gonna have to bite the bullet and do irl

but i managed to meet a girl from bumble in kunming. still talk to her

and yea most places in xinjiang are dead for online dating except urumqi

wouldn’t bother going there for girls anyways, that province is more for adventure
 
if you want a tier 2 city with lots of online options, try visiting changsha in hunan
 
do you guys use the huawei appstore for dating apps? I guess you guys dont. I might try it

people in other parts mention in particular that the government cracked down on OLD and nightclubs during covid and that people basically never went back. taiwan was more active on both fronts. taiwanese women have more attitude but respond more online. I am kind of surprised
