Platform: iOS; FREE

Loveflutter's goal is to become a more "quirky" Tinder, and they're going about this by blurring faces and instead leading off with a 140-character humorous, witty, or interesting fact written by your potential match.  If their "Quirky Fact" catches your interest you can then long press on their picture to get a clearer view.  Got better jokes than looks?  Loveflutter might be your app.

Platform: iOS; FREE

Got a voice like Barry White but a head like Barry Bonds?  Welcome to Revealer.  Hide that huge dome and any other physical imperfections behind your velvety smooth vocals and gift of gab.  Revealer has users listen to an audio clip of their match first before making any judgements based on looks and/or not knowing the difference between your & you're.

Platforms: iOS, Android; FREE

Billed as the "anti-Tinder", Hinge only lets users connect with friends of their Facebook friends or third-degree friends.  No strangers or weirdos.  And in the case the person you meet turns out to be a strange weirdo, well, at least you'll know exactly which friend to blame.  

Platforms: iOS, Android; FREE

It took Tinder becoming successful for the world's largest dating site to start innovating, but now they're finally using some very Tinder-like features in their new "Mixer" mode.  If Tinder offers users a swimming pool of potential matches, Match's extensive database is like an ocean.

Platforms: iOS, Android; FREE

Chosen people choose JCrush.  Actually, that may or may not be true, but it's certainly what JCrush hopes to become true soon.  Are you Jewish or simply looking for some nearby Jewish love?  Time to get familiar with JCrush.  Just swipe right for "Match" or left for "Oy Vey".  Yes, really.

Platforms: iOS, Android; FREE

Plenty, indeed.  With over 70 million members and a feature to meet up with locals in your area, you've got more than a few chances to make a love and/or genital connection.  

Platform: iOS; FREE

Real-life interaction and simplicity are at the core of Coffee Meets Bagel.  Every day members get 24 hours to like or pass on a new "bagel", which is what the app calls potential matches.  You then can call through a secure line (one that doesn't reveal your phone number) and make plans to meet up.  Your bagel will be pairing her hole with your hot liquid in no time.

Platforms: iOS, Android; FREE

Formerly "Bang With Friends", they still are who we thought they were.  Much like Tinder you can swipe left and right, but Down Dating also adds a swipe up/down feature for people you'd like to date versus people you'd like to penetrate.

Platforms: iOS, Android; FREE

Swoon may be the closest thing to Tinder of all the apps in this list, but there's one important difference: a focus on the ladies. Women can ask for a friend's opinion on a guy or even recommend a date for a female friend.  Got a lot of platonic female buddies?  Being Mr. Friendzone just became beneficial.  

Platform: iOS; FREE

Were you ever using Tinder and thought, "Damn, I wish all of these people were within only 50 meters of me so I could immediately creep on them without really having to go anywhere"?  That's Mingleton.  It's like a reverse Tinder where instead of looking for people and then meeting up, you'll find yourself looking up people you've just met.  No more Photoshop or group photo deception.  Last call just got a hell of a lot more interesting.
