Who is signed up on Bristlr in Singapore?

Exclusively on DatingScout: online member numbers for dating services are usually far off, so we estimate how many people are really on Bristlr from traffic data and interest, updated monthly, with history.

According to available data, Bristlr has more than 100,000 members worldwide with members coming from the United States, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, and Canada. It is quite a low population compared to members of the most popular dating sites in the market today.

The male and female members are both dominant on the site, however, not all of them are actively using the site.

Members who are members of the LGBTQ+ community are welcome to join as well.

Since the registration process of the site is not-so-strict, you can expect that there are fake members or bots around. Just like any other sites, you have to be extra careful in dealing with other members.

★★★★★ 3.5/5

"I always have a thing for bearded men, so this app is like heaven sent to me! All the important features are free to acess, and even without paid memberships, I was able to find a match and go on a date! It has limited numbers in my area, but still got lucky to get matched!" -Cindy, 28

I've been a member for a few months now and I still haven't met a member. It's hard to get a match because there are only a few members. Generally it's a nice site, I hope more members will register so that I can get matched already." -Andrew, 35

Design & usability

The design of the app is simple and very masculine because o its logo and choice of color. It's not overwhelming to the eyes and the layout is not hard to navigate. Even new users of sites like this wouldn't have a hard time going over it. Icons are very easy to understand which doesn't confuse the users.

It's good that users will have options of either using the app or the desktop version. Both versions load fast and have no annoying ads all over them.

Special features

Bristlr offers some special features which can also be accessed even by members without a paid membership. Read more about it here:

On this feature, members can rate another member using a five-star rating. If you like the beard of the member, you can rate him as high as 5 stars. If you don't like it, you can give lower number of stars. However, if a member doesn't show that he has a beard on the photo, you can click "Not a beard" or "Skip beard."

Members are required to get matched before they start using the messaging feature. And to get matched, they have to mutually like each other. If you like a member, you can click the heart icon, if you don't you may click the X icon.

Final results

“The idea behind the site is unique and the creator himself classifies it as hilarious. It may have started as a joke, but it actually is a good way to remove the stigma of bearded men. The site's design is pleasing and user-friendly. However, it was noted during the testing that the registration is not that secure since it doesn't require verification. It also has a few members compared to the leading sites today. Nonetheless, it still is a promising dating site. But if you would like to meet more members —bearded or not, you can check out our reviews on other Dating Sites.”
