If you swing both ways, chances are you will end up nowhere in the dating world. While theoretically, it doubles one’s chances of landing an offer, rejection by the straight world is stronger than one would bargain for, and the reasons are pretty obvious when you think about it.
This is where a website/App like Bicupid.com comes into play, offering bisexuals a safe zone to find like-minded individuals. With over 2 Million users now, it is now a massive platform for bisexual and bi-curious people. BiCupid is a go-to destination for people looking to explore their sexuality in a friendly and safe space.
The need for an App like Bicupid has been there for a long time now. While conventional dating apps allow Bisexuals and gay orientations to list their preferences, they are not exclusive to a particular need. With BiCupid, you can rest assured that you will meet people like you if you happen to be bisexual.
Many bisexuals refuse to acknowledge that bisexuality is a valid orientation, resent bisexuals who can act straight, or claim that they’re not gay enough to be part of the LGBTQ culture. That’s part of why bisexuals are less than half as likely as gay or lesbian people to have left the closet. This brings us to the question of Bisexual Dating apps and how much bi-sexual friendly they are in reality.
Joining BiCupid is easy and free
With a Free Standard Membership, you can create a profile with your photos that describe you and your desires. Other Standard Members and Gold Members can view your profile.
Like in almost all such Apps, free users are restricted from initiating messages with other Standard Members, while they can receive and reply to messages from Gold Members.
Free Members can send Winks to anyone and search profiles for free. However, they are restricted to a basic search.
Really serious? Upgrade to a Gold Membership
A Gold Membership helps you get the most out of your BiCupid experience. Initiate messages, sort matches into lists, use advanced parameters, see private albums, highlight profiles in search results, see videos, deploy stricter privacy settings, and receive more personalized services.
You can also earn yourself a Gold Membership by writing for the App on dating tips, relationship advice, and helping their cause on FB Pages, Instagram, and other Social Media outlets. You can even report scamsters, spamming, illegal content. And other fraudulent behavior as a means to be rewarded with an advanced membership.
Now, the BiCupid app is available on App Store and Google Play.
What makes BiCupid a better place to search for Bisexuals?
Several user-friendly features make BiCupid quite an interesting App to have, the foremost being the easy registration process that does not require filling out a lengthy questionnaire. You can take your time to add details later to create a more attractive profile. Easy to navigate, it does need a few journeys for the user to get a good grasp Of the functions.
Let’s Meet: The BiCupid game that’s online speed dating
A fun and fast way to find interested people, Let’s Meet shows pics of potential matches one at a time. You either Heart them or Skip them, and if both members drop into the Heart pile, you can begin chatting. If either of you Skip the opportunity, no one is the wiser. Users can also share their best ‘first date ideas, under categories like ‘Food & Drink’ and ‘Arts & Culture,’ and over 25000 suggestions have been received so far. Users can also upload videos to a dedicated page, even though it seems to be full of sexual content as of now.
An active and engaged community makes this App distinctly lively
Though a destination for Bi-Curious, bisexual singles and couples, it also serves up many lifestyle enhancement options, primarily as an information hub, shared by members, like blogs, comments, and discussions. It is a great icebreaker, and BiCupid hosts forums for people on many topics of interest, especially those of particular interest to the bisexual community.
What are the best parts of BiCupid, and which are the ones that need improvement?
Integrations with Facebook make it easy to sign up, also helping authenticate profiles. Privacy settings can help you control who can see and can’t see specific information about you is another noteworthy aspect.
The fact that only Gold Membership gives desired results can be a turnoff for many, but that’s how the world of dating apps work. Working out some intermediary options whereby people can earn points that users can exchange for limited higher membership can be a workaround.
The fact that no iOS option exists now and that it only works on Android can be a market shrinker, but we guess this anomaly is rectified.
