The League: Intelligent Dating

I have read many reviews here stating this is a scam, that you never meet anyone, etc. and this is NOT at all true. What is true is that this isn’t your average dating app. This actually has been what is missing from the world of dating in the modern era, a site where the instant gratification society is lessened and a more meaningful match is sought. If you are looking for a hook up or a series of single dates, then this would not be a place that you would find your needs being met. If you are seeking someone of similar educational level, values, interests, and a more meaningful potential at a relationship then this is absolutely a great start. No, you will not see hundreds of matches, but you will see quality matches. The algorithm is quite impressive in pairing matches that I actually am interested in. I will see 3-5 people at a time and thus far, each one has been someone that I am interested to get to know better. If you are looking to swipe right (or left or whatever it is) and meet that night, then again, not for you. Not a hook up site. Thankfully, for those of us who have been uncomfortable on quick match dating sites, the League is here.

This app prides itself on being exclusive but it’s just like any other app. Most of the guys on here you can find on bumble. There’s both white collar and blue collar workers. Hardly diverse in terms of ethnic backgrounds (even the league team isn’t diverse, idk if they even know what the word really means) so expect to get majority of your batches looking the same. I’m assuming the app just doesn’t have the interest from different backgrounds or the staff doesn’t know how to gauge their interest. I live in a major city FYI. Looking at their staff, I’m not at all surprised. They should try to market this to upper class people, especially to upper class minorities to get them to join but they probably don’t care or even know how. On top of this, their algorithm is a joke. I feel like you have more control on getting who you actually want off of other apps. Also, they show new batches at 5pm which means a ton of people are on causing the app to slow down. After 30 minutes I still had issues connecting. Even tried their “troubleshooting” tips but my connection isn’t the problem, it’s the amount of users they have on at time same time. Be careful if you purchase tickets to see more batches. There have been instances where they took my tickets and didn’t show me new matches... basically taking my money. Don’t even bother spending any money on this app. Do not be fooled. The league is trash.

I remember IVY when it first came out I believe I was recruited like years ago (2 or 3?! Idk) and then was in a relationship so I deleted the app recently downloaded again and to my surprise I still existed on the app and apparently had bee extremely popular - said a pop up -during my hiatus... that says to me I was being shown as a viable match to people when I was never on the app! No bueno. I hope that’s fixed now. I see so many bells and whistles now that it’s hard to know where to start or if I’m even ready for this crap but my mom is reallllllllllly pushing. Yah know how that goes. So I’ll re review when I get my grandfathered discount as the prices now are a bit high and the description of the app is kind of “reaching.” I’ve grown up here and while I’d say my friends are def in the upper class blah blah they don’t really want that to be the first impression. (The richest and smartest are always the cheapest and most humble - except when you’re a woman and your mother makes you wear a Rolex to show you come from a “good” family.) yah. So hopefully I’ll come back with a good re-review as of now - let’s get rid of the ghosts.

As a long-time user of other dating and apps, and someone who is looking for a real relationship, I am underwhelmed with The League. Most users haven’t written anything on their profile, and you get minimal information to make a swiping decision. I don’t care if you’re an “analyst at Goldman Sachs”; if you have low quality photos and can’t be bothered to write anything about yourself, you’re not that serious about dating. Over the course of a month, I matched with two guys - one turned out to have three kids in high school (that should be front and center on your profile, pal), and the other guy I canceled on because he shifted the time of our date about ten times in the same day. Not great. To top it off, after a couple of weeks of logging in religiously but not swiping right on anyone, I got a message from the app chastising me for being “too picky” and taking away my ability to see people for several days. What the hell?? Don’t you specifically *want* to attract users who are selective? When I researched out to my “concierge,” as the message suggested I do if I found it in error, I heard nothing back. Use this as a toolkit in your dating toolbox if you so choose, but don’t go in with heightened expectations.

I’ve used a lot of dating apps and this is actually the worst of them all I literally log in see some pics of people say yes or no and try again in 24 hours it’s getting tiresome. I’m not a “member” because I can’t afford to have a large subscription for 25 pictures of people I may not even like that’s basically what it is. If you want to try just for a month it will cost you a whopping $99 just for the month. If you have a membership as if you won’t ever be found by someone you can get a cheaper price but for the year it’s $250 which is actually ridiculous in terms of all other dating apps that I can actually TALK to people on. I have been a user since I turned 23 in March but this apps notifications don’t mean anything they are usually just the concierge to tell me nothing important spend money etc or just that I have been given 5 people to look at today. I will probably be leaving this app soon because nothing happens in the app but what fun was it to wait to get out of the waitlist to do absolutely nothing and even if you get through the “waitlist” you still aren’t a member you have to buy a membership or you are basically irrelevant to them.
