Been trying out TendrBang for about a month now, and it’s honestly pretty different from your typical dating apps. Instead of endless profile pics and swiping, it’s all about written personal ads – kinda like old-school newspaper personals but in app form. You write up what you’re looking for and who you are, then other people can read it and reach out if they’re interested.
The whole thing’s super straightforward. You browse through people’s written posts (they call them ‘listings’) from folks in your area. Some are quick and to the point, others write whole essays about themselves. When you see someone interesting, you can message them directly. No matching required, no endless swiping. Just read and reach out if you’re feeling it.
Look, if you’re tired of the whole superficial dating app scene, this might be your thing. It’s definitely more about actual connections than just hot pics and one-liners. But fair warning – there aren’t nearly as many users as on the big dating apps, and some areas are pretty dead. Still, the people who ARE on here seem way more serious about actually meeting up and getting to know each other.
