This morning, someone mentioned HighReply, and my first thought was: “Ah, it’s a dating app for stoners, potheads, burnouts, hippies, and anyone who enjoys recreational cannabis.” I know the word “high” has multiple meanings, but context matters. I’m the kind of guy who sometimes scrolls Tinder with bloodshot eyes and a giant bag of Cheetos in my lap—so almost every message I send could be called a “high reply.”
Turns out, I was wrong. HighReply.com is a polished dating site and app, focused on quality profiles and a few unexpected features. It’s been around for about a year, and the website gets roughly 10,000 visits per month. That’s tiny compared to the big-name dating platforms, but web traffic alone doesn’t tell you much about quality. With a few days to kill before my next PornDudeCasting couch session, I figured it was a good time to see what this site could deliver.
What’s So “High” About HighReply?
I have to address the name again. As a fan of herbal indulgence who occasionally scares off matches with my vices, I saw the title and thought, “Oh, this is for me!” The front page even calls it the “Most trusted brand for open-minded dating”, which felt like a wink in my direction. Yeah, I love to keep my mind open—sometimes very open.
Eventually, I realized the name means something else: HighReply could refer to a higher response rate on their app. That’s great for the average guy, even if women might not notice it because their inboxes are always full. Still, I remained skeptical—HighReply’s traffic is far smaller than the major dating platforms, which typically thrive with millions of monthly users.
So what’s the site’s angle if it’s not just targeting the 17% of Americans who smoke weed? According to the homepage: “Our focus is quality profiles and activity.” Beyond mentioning their 24/7 Profile Review Team, they don’t explain much more—time to sign up and find out.
Signing Up & First Impressions
Registration is free, like most dating sites, though I expected to hit paywalls soon. HighReply also has legit apps for iPhone and Android, letting you browse for matches anywhere—even while on the toilet. For this review, I stuck to the web version, which offers the same features.
The first thing I noticed during signup was the emphasis on profile quality. The site warns that “higher quality profiles will be rewarded with more views.” If I wanted a high reply rate, I’d have to invest a bit more effort.
Filling out my profile was straightforward, though there was a unique question section where you pick a question to answer. I went with the default: “Dinner and a movie or an all-night rager?” My answer, “Why not both? One can lead to the other,” was rejected for being “unrelated.” I suspect the Profile Review Team may be outsourced internationally, but it’s a small hiccup.
Profiles don’t need approval to go live, so after five minutes of basic info and a few photos, I entered the member area. The first screen showed Trending posts, featuring women from across the country. I hit the Near Me button, and honestly, I was impressed.
More Women Than You’d Expect
I found dozens of women in the Chicago suburbs, and hundreds in the city. HighReply’s demographic range surprised me: 19-year-old college girls, 40-year-old MILFs, white chicks, ebony hotties, classy ladies, and even some flashing as much as possible. There was even a woman in bondage gear.
I didn’t notice many fake profiles, suggesting the Profile Review Team is doing its job. There was one AI-generated woman, though, so moderation isn’t perfect.
Swiping & Selling Content
HighReply uses a modern swipe interface like Tinder. I swiped, clicked profiles for details, and discovered a feature I didn’t expect: users can sell content through their profiles. Some photos are locked behind tokens.
Mixed feelings here. On one hand, it’s fun to unlock sexy shots. On the other hand, this could be frustrating if your goal is real-life dates. Some users treat dating apps as marketing for their content, which can ruin the experience.
The High Price of HighReply
Unlocking hidden photos costs five credits. Credit packages start at $50 for 100 credits, with discounts on larger bundles. You also need credits for boosting visibility, sending media, video chats, extra swipes, and seeing who likes you.
The biggest downside? Starting a conversation costs nine credits. I tried messaging a local babe with a nice rack and got hit with that fee immediately.
HighReply is solid in presentation and features, and it surprised me with its local female population. Still, it’s smaller than major platforms, so dating remains a numbers game. My advice: sign up and check how many users are nearby before spending money. City dwellers will likely be fine, but rural users may not see a “high reply” rate.
