Recently, the number of friend-making apps has been increasing quite a bit. Especially those aimed at women. It's interesting that apps designed not for dating or marriage but purely for making friends are emerging.

Many apps are exclusive to women for safety reasons, but since apps like Touch and DotMatch require thorough identity verification and have 24-hour monitoring systems, they seem to be quite secure. The timeline feature that allows interaction similar to SNS also seems like a good addition.

For men, Bumble is said to have lower fees, and Tinder is basically free and allows same-sex searches, so there are options for those wanting to make male or female friends. However, since some users are also looking for romantic connections, choosing the right app might require clarifying your purpose.

There are also apps like Somri aimed at people in their 30s and 40s. I wonder if dividing by age group makes it easier to find compatible people. Has anyone actually tried these?
