Wellcultured - A men's fashion, fitness, sex, and lifestyle magazine.

Dating in 2018 doesn’t have to be a drag – and it also doesn’t have to mean that you’re only on Tindr, Bumble, or OkCupid. Step into the 21st century and try any of the below newest, hottest, and most millennial-esque dating apps we’ve found. That being said, these apps actually seem pretty cool and worth the trouble of setting up a new account. Read on, and let us know in the comments if you try them (or any others) out!

Tastebuds

 Have you ever wished for an app that would connect you – dating-wise – to those who share the same music tastes? Well, now there is one! Tastebuds does just that, matching you to, well, matches that share the same musical taste. Instead of doing left or right swipes, like in Spotify or Pandora, you can “like” a match or “skip.” Pretty innovative, huh? Also, you can send songs to your matches – how very mixtape of you!

Bracket

This dating app is best for competitive folks. It’s exactly what it sounds like – you’re literally playing into a game of ‘bracket’ dating. After filling out preferences like gender, age, and location (is anyone else getting AIM flashbacks?), Bracket sends you 16 matches that will play “head-to-head” in a “bracket-style competition,” leaving one “winner” each day, who can then message the other person. If playing against 15 other dudes is your style – then by all means, sign up today!

SWEATT

Don’t be that guy at the gym trying to pick up women – use SWEATT instead. Users answer fitness regimen questions and then are matched with those with similar lifestyles. This is a NYC-exclusive app, by the way, but even if you don’t live in the city, you can certainly try it out while on a vacation or business trip.
