Stir

Registration Process

The registration process is not only quick, but it is fun! First, you’ll get started by answering what best describes you through a series of basic questions that add some personality to your profile. After that, you simply add an email and phone number, and you’ll be setting up your profile and adding photos in no time!

Profile Set-up

The registration procedure will immediately begin creating your profile, so be prepared with descriptive phrases and activities that represent you. After that, you may upload your images and begin selecting your matches. Allow around 10-20 minutes for this entire process.

Notification Settings

The “account settings” page lets you choose which alerts to receive, from newsletters to notifications whenever a new message or match arrives.

Messaging

Sending messages and emojis are very straightforward after you have uploaded your photo, and if you go premium, you’ll also get read receipts.

Browse Members

Simple search filters let you look for members based on location, gender, age, and even more specific criteria like height and ethnicity.

It is a place where parents often proudly share cute photos with their kids on their profiles, allowing you to feel right at home as a single dad or mom.

Free Chat Every 24 hrs.

For those of you that aren’t quite ready to go premium on Stir, they have free messaging to your top picks fairly regularly which allows you to use a lot of the premium features for free, albeit for a limited time.

Carousel Feature

Both the desktop site and app offer a carousel function that allows you to swiftly swipe through photographs of possible matches to help you decide whether to like them or go on to the next profile.

If you like them, click the heart icon. If not, click the red X. Stir will let you both know if two people click that they like each other. It adds new meaning to the phrase “clicking with someone.”.

Top Picks

Stir generates a tailored list of your best possible matches, dubbed “Top Picks.” This list focuses on match curation in order to reduce users’ desire to continue swiping through what appears to be an infinite amount of profiles.

Profile Boost

You can boost your profile to receive more views and watch as your chances to make a great connection increase. You can pick from 3 boost options:

10 pack for $1.50 each

5 pack for $2 each

1 for $3
