For straight folks, the draw of Bumble is that the woman has to make the first move. Well, surprise: When there are two women, either of you can make the first move! The difference between Bumble and any other app then? IRL review: Bonnie, a year-old living in Houston, loves the quick turnaround time. Sick of swiping on randos? Try Hinge , which only populates your scroll with friends and people your friends can vouch for. Cute, right? Yep, the app that started it all really is for everyone. In fact, last summer, for Pride, Tinder launched an Orientation feature in partnership with GLAAD , which allows daters to pick up to three terms to describe their sexuality.
As in Ivy League… get it? Only those deemed worthy by League Headquarters are granted access into the Leagues exclusive dating pool. IRL review: Personally, the whole thing gives me college application flashbacks, but Frances, a year-old living in Boston, had some success. Calling all polyam and non-monogamous babes: Hashtag Open lets you join solo, partnered, or both. Instead of basing matches solely off location, Hinge takes your Facebook and will only match you with friends of friends. So if you're tired of meeting really weird randos who are not who they say they are , Hinge wants to aid in pairing people who have mutual friends.
You scroll and judge people off of pictures and small bios like you would on Tinder or Bumble, but it doesn't deserve to be thrown in the "sketchy hookup app" category. The setup: Hinge's recent makeover that caused it to explode with popularity brings a professional new look to previously swipe-only dating apps. It's literally like scrolling through Instagram, and there are no dead ends from a wrong swipe. Hinge's CEO Justin McLeod has said that it's like "Instagram profiles for dating," and that beta testing has seen five times more conversation that it did when Hinge was a swiping app.
Not swiping one by one is seriously nice if you're making the jump from Tinder, and seeing a few matches in your daily batch gives you more time to consider options without making split decisions. Hinge requires Facebook syncing and imports things like pictures, last names, as well as relationship status as a way to weed out cheaters or straight couples looking for threesomes. To avoid people swiping at the speed of light and going through everyone in their area in an hour, Hinge starts out by only giving you seven matches per day.
That can increase to 15 if you invite more friends to use the app, but this is Hinge's way of slowing down the process and making it less about finding a quick hookup. Aside from a bio, every user answers icebreakers that are featured on their profiles, giving anyone who wants to message them an easy in at thinking of a creative and relevant opening line.
AKA you won't have to text a screenshot to your friends asking if your first message to someone is okay. Hinge wants to encourage more early conversation, which in turn leads to more meeting IRL. While Hinge started out as an app that shows you Facebook friends of friends, their algorithm has been getting smarter and smarter, and is now able to surpass friends of friends as a predictor of compatibility — so you won't be matched with someone horrendous just because you know the same person. Rather, Hinge will help you get to know the other person more deeply than any new app has attempted, by revealing answers to juicy personality questions and detailed information like future plans, religion, and vices.
Seems like a pretty good recipe for a strong connection past looks, right? Plus, because you have a mutual connection, a double date with your mutual friend and someone else is a fun and not-so-nerve-wracking way to meet for the first time and could get things off the ground faster. Unlike Tinder and Bumble, which seem to have a broken gaydar, Hinge won't throw random guys into your feed when you've selected women only.
The exclusivity is definitely annoying, but Hinge's encouragement to actually talk to the other person to find out information gives you a way to smooth out discrepancies right off the bat. The cost: Hinge is free to download and the basic features you'll need like messaging and matching are free. Image: Bumble. Bumble Bumble stands out for letting you "backtrack" and insisting you message your matches within 24 hours.
The gist: Again, Bumble is mostly hetero focused, but that doesn't mean it's completely worthless for the queer women of the world. For hetero matches, Bumble is known for their "girls have to message first rule," but that obviously doesn't apply to woman-woman matches.
But here's where the helpful part comes in: Bumble requires you to message within the first 24 hours, so if you're tired of looking at a list of Tinder or OkCupid matches from six months ago and actually want to force yourself to get to know people, this could be a good comfort zone pusher. The setup: Bumble's yellow color scheme makes the app look serene and low pressure, which is a great start to users who are worried about feeling completely overwhelmed. Similar to Tinder, you'll see pictures and short bios of potential matches in your area and can swipe right if you're interested and left if you're not.
You'll get a similar amount of information to what Tinder will give you in a similar setup. You've probably also experienced the anxiety that comes with accidentally swiping left on a person who you wanted to swipe right for. Up to three times a day without paying , Bumble will allow you to "Backtrack" and bring back the last user you saw simply by giving your phone a shake.
Why it works: Someone literally has to message within 24 hours, or the match goes away. So if anything, it pushes you out of your comfort zone and could give you a serious confidence boost when you start getting responses from those first messages.
If you don't say anything, you could possibly be un-matching with the love of your life, and that's gonna bother you way more than possibly being ignored. Bumble also has a BFF feature, where you can find friends that are strictly platonic — so you won't waste time talking to a cute girl for a few days just to find out she's not looking for anything past friendship. This means giving more than two gender options seriously, are we in the dark ages?
The cost: Bumble is free to download , but has a premium subscription called Bumble Boost. Image: tinder. Tinder Tinder is where everyone is and is great for hookups. But you probably knew that. The gist: Like every other site that ranks queer dating apps, we've pretty much been bashing Tinder the whole time. While it does have its flaws and shallow reputation, we still couldn't leave it off the list.

Because of the sheer numbers and how dominant of a player it has become, it seems like we're comparing everything to Tinder , and constantly asking "Does Tinder have this? Seeing how it's so popular, whatever it's doing must be working. Yes, we know you've heard or have had your own horror stories, but you have to appreciate that Tinder makes you aware of potential boos in the area that you never knew existed before. It's a little shallow, but it gets shit done. The setup: We probably don't have to explain this one as everyone and their mother has given Tinder a try at some point.
Yes, you're technically judging the pool based solely on looks, but if we're being real, that's probably what's happening when you go to the bar too. The concept sounds shitty, but it's how our brains work.
Why it works: Tinder is seriously great at making people who are physically close aware of other close singles. Not many people can say that they don't know a single person in a successful relationship where the couple met on Tinder yes, even lesbian couples.
It's quick, easy, and everyone is on it — a lot of people will resort to re-downloading Tinder instead of taking time to make a new profile elsewhere.
More From Relationships. Color Dating App — Meet Me. Why it works: Someone literally has to message within 24 hours, or the match goes away.

If you're not a video person, never fear.
While it doesn't really do strategic matching, options are virtually limitless with tons of women in the vicinity who you probably didn't know existed. Which is clutch, because one of the main lesbian complaints is that, um, there are none around. Matches are close enough to meet within a day, so you don't have to waste time on long distance or wait months to hang out.

We tested the hypothesis that medical students change their study strategies when transitioning from basic science courses to clerkships, and that their study practices are associated with performance scores.
Back to the basic sciences : an innovative approach to teaching senior medical students how best to integrate basic science and clinical medicine. Abraham Flexner persuaded the medical establishment of his time that teaching the sciences , from basic to clinical, should be a critical component of the medical student curriculum, thus giving rise to the "preclinical curriculum. The authors believe that revisiting the basic sciences in the fourth year can enhance understanding of clinical medicine and further students ' understanding of how the two fields integrate.
With this in mind, a return to the basic sciences during the fourth year of medical school may be highly beneficial.
