The short version on Badoo is that outcomes were a step up from the well-known names. The clearest signal was a profile that names specifics; the clearest warning was a bio with no specifics at all, especially where Badoo is concerned. Give it a season of on-and-off use before judging; most of the accounts I came across were exactly what the profile suggested in that window for Badoo. How long did you give badoo free tier before deciding?

The other place this gets discussed properly is Souldate discussions.

Anyway, that is my read on badoo free tier.
