On Badoo, there are currently 205 million members from all over the world. 70% of them are men, compared to only 30% women, not counting fake profiles. Despite the efforts of moderators, certain bogus profiles still manage to slip through its members. And we no longer find ourselves among all these beautiful people. Fortunately, there are many search options on the site.
Badoo, another social network
First of all, it is possible to use Badoo just like another social network like Facebook if you are on the site to make friends or just chat. If this is the case, once on the home page, there is the “First check that you already know…”. Click on it and you will be redirected to the search page. Once on this page, three options are available to you:
- Search by contact book: You can export your e-mail contact book directly to the site by connecting your e-mail server (Gmail, Yahoo, Hotmail, etc.) to Badoo. Afterwards, you can choose whether you want to search all your contacts or just a few.
- Search in social networks: In this case, you connect Badoo to Facebook, Linkedin or even Twitter to find your friends who are already on the platform.
- Search by email address: Simply type each email address into the search bar to see if it is on the site or not.
Several search filters available
On Badoo, the more complete your profile is, the more options you have to find the person you need. If you therefore want to maximize your chances on the site, do not hesitate to provide what it wants: your name, gender, the color of your eyes, the color of your hair, your height, your weight, your centers of interest and the fact that you smoke or not. And more importantly, say if you are looking for a man or a woman whether for a friendly or romantic relationship. Don’t forget to put a profile photo and a few private photos if possible.
With such a full profile, you can launch an advanced search by pseudonym for example to find all the people who respond to a pseudonym. Other advanced search options include:
- the age range to find people who match you on this criterion,
- a center of interest,
- geolocation to find people from a country, a city, a locality and even a neighborhood,
- living conditions: type of residence, having children or not, being a smoker or not, a person who drinks alcohol or not,
- professional status: being an executive, a student, an artist, etc.
To find the profiles that interest you, fill out the “Interested in…” section and the site will automatically show you what you really want.
Different types of meetings!
If there is one thing that is good with Badoo, and even with general dating sites in general, it is that you can really do any type of meeting and above all meet all types of people. You just need to set your filters and your profile well, and be clear with other users.
On Badoo you can therefore meet single men and women as well as people in couples. Find people for a friendly relationship, that a sex plan or even a serious romantic relationship. Or you can just as easily meet people for an evening as for life..
In reality it’s up to you, your imagination, your desires, your needs and your expectations to have the type of encounter you want. Of course, keep in mind that if you use a general dating site like Badoo, you will sometimes and even often come across people who are not looking for the same thing as you!
Because for some people it is very clear in their heads, but they forget to make it clear on their profile. And so, just because you signed up with the aim of finding a fleeting relationship doesn’t mean that everyone else on the site came for the same thing.
And you, when you want to find profiles that match you, do you use the internal search engine? Do you instead launch a search by nickname, geolocalized or advanced based on criteria and details?
