The League: Intelligent Dating 17+

I have read many reviews here stating this is a scam, that you never meet anyone, etc. and this is NOT at all true. What is true is that this isn’t your average dating app. This actually has been what is missing from the world of dating in the modern era, a site where the instant gratification society is lessened and a more meaningful match is sought. If you are looking for a hook up or a series of single dates, then this would not be a place that you would find your needs being met. If you are seeking someone of similar educational level, values, interests, and a more meaningful potential at a relationship then this is absolutely a great start.
No, you will not see hundreds of matches, but you will see quality matches. The algorithm is quite impressive in pairing matches that I actually am interested in. I will see 3-5 people at a time and thus far, each one has been someone that I am interested to get to know better.
If you are looking to swipe right (or left or whatever it is) and meet that night, then again, not for you. Not a hook up site. Thankfully, for those of us who have been uncomfortable on quick match dating sites, the League is here.

Thank you for taking the time to write this amazing review, Docmom21! We really appreciate it, and we are SO happy you are enjoying our app!

I signed up for the site and was “off the waitlist” in one or two days out of 38,000 people. I find it hard to believe that thousands of people are waiting to get on the site. Seems more like a marketing tactic to get you to buy a membership so not sure if I’m buying it. When you first get on the site, you are assigned a “dating concierge” (aka a bot claiming to have gone to an Ivy League school) who gives you dating tips to be more successful on the site. I will say the site is full of very attractive, professional men but it’s not very diverse and predominantly white. As a non paying member you are shown 3 prospects a day (and not always new ones) and can only correspond with other members on the site you match with. Unless you pay for a membership you don’t have access to many perks on the site and are essentially just waiting around for someone to match with you. You also can’t see any “likes” from other members unless you pay so again, you’re just hoping you match with one of your daily prospects. The price of the memberships start as “low” as $100 for ONE WEEK. I understand the concept of paying more to have access to better quality people but I agree with a lot of others who found the pricing to be outlandish. I’ve also noticed A LOT of the same men who are on the site are also on hinge as well which is a way cheaper alternative for the “same access.”

Hello MYC999; thank you for your review. The waitlist is not a marketing tactic but helps us maintain a high-quality, committed user base. It is not required to purchase a membership to get off the waitlist; users with complete profiles are more likely to be moved off the waitlist sooner. While our concierge may send some automated messages, they are indeed real people here to help you and aim to provide honest, customized feedback. We are always open to feedback from our community on our pricing and will consider adjustments as needed. Please contact us at support@theleague.com for further assistance.

Are there really people on this app? Cuz ive done everything needed to be verified. Seems like a money scheme to make a waiting list of 1million for those who really are looking for a connection and convince them to pay instead of waiting. So this is my piece. I think that might seem like a “good” tactic, but it really drives a lot of people away from your app, and Im not referring to those who are just looking for a one time thing, Im talking about the genuine people. There are a lot of reasons for someone to seek online dating more than those quick fixes. The appeal that your app had in its introduction about being an intellectual place where you can meet like minded people is what brought me here, but i have to wait for almost 3k people to be “verified” after a process in which your app already allows you to verify yourself, to even be able to make connections. I checked after 4 days and I only moved up 1 slot! Also, No one talks in the “waiting room”. Its filled with people saying where they are from and then they never respond again. Like i said before, i cant knock off that it was a good strategy to convince people to purchase membership instead of waiting, but literally, that is not a good way to go about it. Instead, you should keep those special features locked for members but allow people to make connections or Let your members see their matches from the algorithm. Thats all I have to say. Anyways, thanks but no thanks.
