If you’ve ever wondered if there’s a 4channer out there who’s destined to be yours, then this Duolicious review might have something for you. Tinder, Bumble, OkCupid, there are plenty of dating apps out there—a surprising number of which are owned by Match Group, Inc.—but it’s still hard for a majority of users to find a connection. Especially if you’re chronically online, constantly lost in the world of memes and waifus, dating can be even harder. To serve this very niche audience that’s growing by the day, the Duolicious dating app was brought to life. 

The user feedback on Duolicios has been very mixed and it still only has a very limited number of members, but if you’re an “edgelord” looking for someone to match your crazy, then it might be of some use to you.

Presenting a Duolicious Review: How Does One Truly Capture Such an Enigma?

The Duolicios dating app was released just over two months ago on Android on March 24, 2024, but it all began with a post on 4chan in July 2023. The discord server for the project was reportedly launched in January 2023, and it promised personality-based matches for those who are chronically online. More welcoming to the Reddit and 4chan crowd than the Instagram and TikTok audience, the app has been designed for those who “want to date an e-girl or e-boy with the same brain rot as you.”

How Does The Duolicious Algorithm Work?

What’s most interesting about the app is that it claims to have a highly elaborate system of personality and preference testing to find a match that suits you. The Duolicious dating app utilizes the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator as part of the testing and claims to be a Big Five-based dating app too. 

Depending on how much you trust ChatGPT, you might react differently to the information that the questions were used in a role-play with the AI to create a statistical model that is used to test your compatibility with another user. The app maker admits the algorithm isn’t complex enough just yet, but the idea of psychoanalyzing ChatGPT does not lend itself to being taken seriously. 

It all still sounds highly complex with its database of 2005 questions, but there are some fun ones thrown in there to make it feel less like a job interview. All in all, the app measures 47 different traits that include your political ideologies to create a comprehensive profile for you.

How Do You Find a Match to Make the Most of the Duolicious Experience?

When it comes to using the Duolicious app for dating, seriously or not, the more questions you answer, the better you’re able to test your compatibility with a match on the platform. You have the option of setting up your account with images and considering it’s a 4chan dating app, you can fill the images section up with rage-bait memes or present actual pictures of yourself if you’re so inclined. 

A large number of users prefer to use fake names and photos but to verify your account, you do have to take a few selfies that aren’t shared publicly. You can also share which questions are publicly visible on your profile to encourage a match to get to know you better.

One detail that has to be mentioned in our Duolicious review, is that when you actually get to messaging a match, your intro message to them cannot be something that has already been used before. Not just a message that you have used before, you’re also barred from a “Hi” or “Hello” if anyone else on the app has used it first. It’s an interesting measure to ensure originality and that a user is committed to striking up a conversation, but it also gets old quickly.

Duolicious User Feedback—How Are the Redditors Reacting to the App?

Before we get to our opinions on the Duolicious review, we might need to consider how the actual target audience feels about the app. There were actually quite a few takers and early adopters of the app. Despite some early issues many Redditors and 4chan-ers gave the app a chance, which led to some of the most meme-filled, outlandish dating profiles we’ve ever seen, but at the same time, it was interesting to see the ecosystem grow. 

Unfortunately, as one might have expected, the male-to-female ratio of users on the platform is entirely skewed with a majority of male users. Many have complained about struggling to still find a match despite the more curated pool of users. What makes it more complex is the difficulty in trusting the accounts you find. Catfishers and those who just want to cause some chaos have opted to use the Duolicious dating app to create misleading profiles, which is regrettable but not unexpected. Anything marketed as a “femcel dating app” is bound to attract a very specific crowd.

Others have also complained of being ghosted on the regular so at the end of the day, the dating experience is not too different from any of the other apps that have flooded the market. Redditors have regularly uploaded their profiles to Reddit to ask if they could be doing anything differently to get more matches, but there’s not much their advice can do to help relationship seekers. 

Final Thoughts on the Duolicious Review

We’ve covered some popular anime dating apps before and this one just follows the same line of reasoning—that there is a market for everything. If you’re looking for a platform to be as offensive as you want one-on-one with another like-minded individual, then Duolicious might be very specifically designed to serve that need. However, you can still get banned from the app for multiple reasons so tread freely but with caution. It’s a balance with no clear equation.

While the entire thing reads like a social experiment, there’s something to be said about the complex task of running such an app with the expectation of no moderation being both the selling point and the problem all at once. We may not have the right skill sets necessary to survive on the platform, but we’ll have to conclude the Duolicious review by stating that it’s a fascinating evolution of internet culture at play. The app may not be for everyone, but it is designed for a very specific someone that might just be you.
