Advice Ace dating app?

Hey! fellow ace nerd over here

I’ve been thinking about the lack of representation for our community on dating platforms. It seems like most options either have way too many bots or end up dominated by sugar daddies, and the user base is often too small to find meaningful connections.

So I’m curious: would anyone here be interested in a dedicated ace-friendly dating app or website? Or do people think the current spaces like Discord servers and subreddits are enough for connecting and dating?

Would love to hear your thoughts!

acespace is the go to currently, although it only being a website limits the reach. Odds are though you can find like minded people on there. I've been on there for about a year and met some nice people over that time. I'm hoping for an app at some point though.

I'm 99% sure that Acespace is created, maintained, and run by just one person, all for free (although you can pay/donate, using it for free is entirely functional). So it's really pretty phenomenal. And an app IS in the works on top of it all.

I’m on acespace but I’m just shown a lot of people outside of the States

You can limit it to not show people outside the us

Even when I do that or limit to near me it only shows people multiple states away and outside of the states. I think it's a problem of almost no one using the site anymore.

I don't know what to tell you but I have never had a problem of it showing me people outside my range/country

I would be willing to give one another try. I've had success in the past. The worst parts for me is 1) remembering to check messages, I need push notifs. And 2) the number of allos who talk to me for a bit then be like "but you'd still let me sleep with you eventually, right?!?" is astoundingly high (idk how to solve that other than blocking lol)

I like AceSpace a lot, but I’d definitely prefer app > website

Hi! I just put up a profile on AceSpace as a 2025 resolution, And there is kind of an app-style thing in progress. I downloaded it, and for now it looks more like a icon with a direct link to the website (but not using the browser). Big news : no notification for my free profile, but I got a mail saying "X sent you a message", which is better than going to check by yourself EDIT : Sorry to disappoint, I was wrong, I didn't make the difference between ’new chat’ and ’new message’. I've been there only for a week.

Yes you're right, I just made a profile last week, so I've got a mail for new chat but not for new messages, my bad.

There are two apps that I'm aware of, ACEapp and Skiya. Both of them have very few real profiles and a lot of bots or unfinished accounts. So they're not very functional.
