AI Dating: unlocking revenue from young users

The future is here – and it’s more intriguing than you think!

My name is Yulia. I’m an affiliate manager at Cpamatica, and I know big secrets that you don’t (and neither does anyone else).

But enough suspense. Let me get straight to what I really want to tell you.

Two words: AI dating. Take a quick look at the stats:

1. 10.42 million visits a month — that’s how much traffic platforms like Candy AI are pulling.
2. The keyword "AI girlfriend" racks up around 110,000 searches every month.
3. 30% of users are 18–24 years old. Young adults are clearly leading the way!
4. The hybrid payment model dominates (subscriptions & tokens for extra perks).

AI dating started exploding in 2024, and it’s only getting bigger. And the products keep getting better as well: better visuals, better AI engagement, better user LTV. This opens up new doors for CPS growth from quality traffic sources!

So, let’s take a look together and see what AI Dating is really about, and how it’s rewriting the rules compared to traditional casual dating.

How It Works – and Why It Beats Regular Dating

When we compare AI dating platforms to traditional ones, a few major advantages stand out:

Your AI partner is always available

No waiting around. Your AI partner is online 24/7, and they’re ready to chat, flirt, or do whatever you want, whenever you want.

You can easily build this into your ad strategy: “Left on read? Your AI girlfriend gives you 24/7 attention!”

AI gives you cool features

AI dating is popular because it’s customizable. You can swap faces, mix and match bodies, and create the perfect partner for you. Full creative control over your AI partner is just part of the package.

It’s cheaper

Interacting with an AI partner costs less than using traditional dating platforms. The tokens (the most popular currency on such sites) are more affordable, which lowers the barrier to entry and attracts more users.

This means a higher CR from registration to sale for affiliates!

That said, payouts per sale are generally a bit lower compared to casual dating – AI dating is still a new vertical, and it’s in the process of figuring out its perfect business model. In the future, prices may rise to match traditional dating platforms. 

AI dating platforms offer more freedom, more features, and massive growth potential compared to regular casual dating. So, now’s the time to take advantage of the opportunity! 

What Can Users Do with Their AI Online Dating Partner?

AI dating platforms use a hybrid model: users pay a monthly subscription fee for premium access and buy tokens (credits) for extra features.

What can they do with those tokens?

1. Face Swap. Users can change how their AI partner looks by swapping faces – mixing and matching different looks to create their perfect match.
2. Tools. Virtual kisses, hugs, gifts, and more – users can customize their experience and keep things interesting.
3. Chat. Users can chat with their AI partner anytime – no waiting for a reply! The AI companion is always ready to talk, flirt, or engage.

The setup is simple. And because developers can easily add new features and ways to connect, the possibilities continue to grow!

Who's the Target Audience, and Where to Find Them?

Let’s talk about the target audience now.

The main users of AI dating platforms are young adults, mostly between 18 and 24 years old. They’re tech-savvy, they enjoy virtual experiences, and they’re looking for something easier and cheaper than real-world dating.

Such users love being able to control and customize their AI partner (from looks to personality), and they sure appreciate having someone available 24/7 with no ghosting. Most of them are comfortable with adult content and are looking for quick and low-effort interactions.

Now, where can you find them? Make sure to check the top traffic sources for AI dating offers:

1. Paid Meta. Great for reaching a slightly older but still young audience (25–32 years) with cheaper CPMs.
2. SEO. Target anime or hentai-related websites, review blogs, and similar niches.
3. Free Social. Reddit, Twitter, Quora, and other communities where users already engage with virtual and casual content.
4. Tube Sites. Banners, pre-rolls, and pop-unders are proven channels for high-intent casual traffic.

Examples of creatives

AI dating ads usually focus on letting users create and customize an AI partner. 

Some ads focus on choosing the body type and features they like. Others target anime or hentai fans by offering AI partners in styles like popular characters. There are also ads that focus on the ability to select a partner’s ethnicity and background.

Visuals often show attractive characters or anime-style art to grab attention quickly. The idea is simple: make users feel like they can create exactly the partner they want, in looks, style, and personality.

Of course, you don’t have to stick to these examples. The strongest ads focus on the audience’s core needs:

1. Customization.
2. Instant replies.
3. Experiencing the "forbidden"

You can find all available prelanders and landers, along with their performance stats (CR), right inside your Cpamatica dashboard.

From there, users can enter the platform to interact with the AI partner or browse other AI profiles.

After you set all your preferences, FantasyGF will generate your AI girlfriend profile. You will get inside the platform, where you will find a lot of options on how to interact with your AI girlfriend or with other AI girls profiles as well. 

Inside the platform, users can:

• Chat, call, joke around, and ask questions.
• Create anime-style friends.

The more users interact, the better and more personalized the communication becomes. Whether looking for deep conversations or something a little more playful, there are plenty of options to match any needs!

3. Finally, to use the platform’s full potential (unlimited chat messages, personalized voice notes, and live AI phone calls), users need to upgrade their account.

Payment options include Visa, Mastercard, Crypto, and PayPal.
