Badoo was the first dating website I ever joined at only 19 years old back in 2009. I'm now 30 and have just come back to see what's changed and Badoo only got worse. In earlier days although a huge number of women still didn't reply I'd always get a few reply. Now though I never get a single one. The old messages from the women that use to talk with me there are still in the inbox but those women have long left the site. It's not just this dating website. It's every dating website. Women seem to get more smart and cleaver, having more reasons not to respond. Covid-19 has only made it even more worsen. Women know there's more men looking for a date with all the social distancing that's going on throughout the world so they are only upping their antics online. And it doesn't stop there. Some women on Badoo are ones I knew at school and college and I have them added on Facebook. Still no replies from someone who I actually know! Once the restrictions are lifted I'm thinking of joining a proper real life dating agency where professionals go through the whole country, finding people someone good like Channel 4's Undateables as I've tried internet dating for about 11 years and hardly had any luck.
UPDATE:
And the bad luck hasn't stopped from when I last wrote this review. One woman visited my profile about 3 times. Saw she liked country music which I've been listening to every Saturday night, so I sent her a nice short little message asking if she knew this certain song(nothing bad, sexual or demanding), only for her to immediately block me. Don't know why she would get offended over a small thing like that but Badoo is really becoming a joke.
Hi Jonathan!
Thank you for your review.
We're really sorry to hear that you've struggled to make meaningful conversations and connections on Badoo recently.
If you're not sure why people aren't getting back to you, it could be due to the content of your message and it may be beneficial to try another approach. To potentially increase your reply rate, we recommend that you try to be more creative and use something that will catch a user's attention. For example, rather than copying and pasting the same message to everyone you like, read their profile first, see what they're into and send an appropriate message.
Additionally, don't forget to add pictures of yourself with of the best possible quality. This way, we are pretty sure you should get more replies. If you'd like to get in touch with us and make sure everything is working properly on your profile, just drop us a private message any time and we'll help you out.

I have been off and on for a few years. I usually quit due to the poor standards of men. They moan about single mums, baggage, women wanting money etc, fair enough, but so do men. I have met men who don't work, want money to fund their cannabis addiction, you to drive 80 miles for a leg over, or moan about an ex who cheated and won't let them see their kids.
In reality, most are narcissistic fathers who can't be bothered. Narcissistic pot heads who just want supply. Narcissistic people with unrealistic goals moaning about narcissistic women doing the same.
If you're genuine and sincere like myself, you've no hope. If you don't pay, you won't get messages, won't get your profile shown to these narcs who can't come with anything intelligent but " how's u". Can't hold a conversation. Clearly sit on their lap top all day looking for something that doesn't exist. The tiniest amount of effort and they 'think' they've got all these other options. No. Maybe a smile would get you less hand jobs. I'm no model myself but I'm certainly not ugly. Im only looking for love. But narcs don't do love. Profiles are fake.
And what's with the married dudes stuck in a loveless marriage. I'd say marriage is a red flag. Ffs get a divorce if you're that unhappy.
I've had men refuse to talk further because I wanted a date and wasn't going to invite him here or me visit him. They don't do mutual ground. I guess old bald men with no smile are in demand. So many choices.
They even lie about wanting a relationship if they think they're getting laid. No morals.
How can you expect to lie down with a stranger? Ew.
They'd pass you in the street and expect you to notice them 'not looking at you' but get brave on the app. It's like everything else. They just want an ego boost.
If you can't validate yourself, you're lost.
A total useless site. I've even wrote them asking why, I got a empty email from them. SCAM! All the way
I have been on Badoo for 6 days, just checked my bank account, payments of 15,75 taken of my account in one day, what a joke, closed the account

Answer: 99% are fake! When you engage with Badoo you expose yourself to fraud and rip off. Their "job" consists of making up fake profiles with stolen photos and reeling in gullible people. If you want dates and relationship, you may want to try http://J4Love.net This site has helped me and a friend of mine to meet many lovely women. My friend got married to one of them. I'm still undecided, but the site works. Don't waste your money on Badoo. What they do is try to get your money without providing any real service. You pay for talking with bots. You are buried in auto-generated messages and there are no real people willing to meet.
