While some affiliates are still running traffic to classic dating offers, others are already moving into a vertical that’s scaling fast and monetizing even faster — virtual relationships with AI Girlfriends and AI Boyfriends.
Today, AI dating isn’t a hype wave — it’s a real revenue stream for affiliates. Analysts expect the market to reach $1B in the coming years. And according to a Wheatley Institute report, one in five American adults has already interacted with an AI that simulates a romantic partner. Many of them are willing to spend up to $10,000 a month on these digital relationships.
Let’s break down how AI dating works, where to start, and how to make money with it.
What Is AI Dating?
AI dating is a new form of online connection where the “partner” is a hyper-realistic virtual companion powered by artificial intelligence. These companions don’t get tired, don’t ignore messages, and don’t “drive you crazy.” They adapt to your behavior and preferences, creating a surprisingly convincing emotional bond.
AI Girlfriends and AI Boyfriends can fulfill almost any desire a user has — from 24/7 romantic chats and voice messages to roleplay scenarios and intimate content. No scammy spam, no dry “hi, how are you,” no ghosting.
In essence, AI dating combines classic dating mechanics, interactive engagement, and subscription-based monetization — but without the unpredictability and risks of real human communication.
It’s no surprise the AI dating market is exploding. Hundreds of thousands of monthly search queries, dozens of apps, and millions in revenue. Users are already willing to pay for digital relationships where they feel heard, supported, and emotionally engaged.
A few examples of the biggest services:
- AI MOUR — a CIS-focused product offering voice interactions and erotic scenarios, including explicit chats and roleplay.
- Replika — an English-language AI companion focused on emotional support and friendship.
- Candy.ai — a service centered on NSFW capabilities and deep character customization.
- Anima AI — blends friendly and romantic communication scenarios with the option to shift into a more intimate format.
- Nomi.ai — similar to Candy.ai and Anima AI, but with a wider range of customization and premium content.
Today, AI dating is shaping into a fully-fledged vertical with strong potential for affiliates — especially those who’ve previously worked with dating, adult, or subscription funnels.
AI Dating Users: Gender and GEO
AI dating services took off not just because of technology — they aligned perfectly with user pain points. Affiliates need a clear understanding of who these people are to choose the right creatives, offers, and promotion formats.
The main user profile:
- men aged 25–45
- living alone or lacking emotional connection
- active internet users (TikTok, Reddit, X)
- don’t see virtual relationships as “fake”
- willing to pay for emotional and personalized experiences
AI dating is most popular in the US, India, the UK, Canada, and Australia. These markets have higher digital maturity and less stigma around paid virtual companionship. But other regions are catching up — parts of Europe, Latin America, and, of course, Asia. Japan and South Korea, in particular, show consistently high demand for emotional AI companions.
Such offers work especially well in GEOs with high urbanization, digital adoption, and male loneliness.
Why Users Choose AI Dating
For some people, AI girlfriends/boyfriends are just entertainment. For others, they’re a way to fill an emotional gap. But if you dig deeper, AI dating solves several needs that traditional dating often fails to address.
No Stress or Fear of Rejection
An AI partner won’t reject you, ignore you, or leave for someone else. You can be yourself — or whoever you want. No pressure, no awkwardness, no social expectations.
Emotions on Demand
Need support? You’ll get it. Want flirt? Easy. The model adjusts to the user’s mood and is always available. It’s an illusion of closeness — but an illusion that works.
Personalized Experience
The more you interact, the “smarter” the companion becomes. It remembers your interests, communication style, even your sense of humor. It’s not just a chat — it feels like someone who really knows you.
Aesthetics and Control
You choose everything: appearance, voice, behavior, personality traits. It’s not a real person with quirks and boundaries — it’s an idealized companion tailored to your preferences.
Novelty and Hype
For some users, AI dating is simply fun. Playing with new tech, showing it to friends, trying something “from the future.” It’s part of the digital experience — just like chat roulettes or Tamagotchis once were.
Convenience
No dates, no small talk, no compatibility tests. Open the app — and the interaction starts immediately. Perfect for introverts, busy people, or those who don’t want real-world relationships.
It’s clear that most needs AI dating fulfills aren’t about sex directly — they’re about attention, understanding, and the illusion of companionship.
What AI Dating Creatives Look Like
In AI dating, the goal is to hit the user’s emotional trigger perfectly. You’re not “selling sex” — you’re selling attention, warmth, and the feeling of finally being understood. The same logic applies to creatives: no hard selling, just the right mood. Most campaigns rely on a few proven angles.
“Try an AI girlfriend — she actually understands you.”
A classic hook that resonates with men 25–45 who are tired of cold “hi” messages and being ignored. An AI companion will chat, text, or exchange erotic content — everything they imagine, but without the real-world friction.
“Create the perfect partner who never says no.”
A mix of customization and guaranteed emotional payoff. It works because it taps into imagination and control.
“Ready for the most honest conversation of your life?”
This angle leans into authenticity and emotional depth — the promise of a real connection.
What Works Visually
- NSFW-style visuals — but subtle. A bit of provocation is fine, but too explicit gets you banned, and too modest gets ignored. The sweet spot: suggestive poses + an emotional undertone (shyness, curiosity, desire).
- Anime and 3D girls. Especially strong in Tier 2 and Tier 3 countries, where visual culture and fandoms are huge. Anime partners, “girls with cat ears,” stylized 3D characters — all test well.Image: Three anime-styled girls with cat-ear headphones against a city backdrop.
- Chat screenshots. The “Her: I missed you…” format works extremely well. The key is keeping the text natural and emotionally engaging — nothing that feels robotic.
- Close-up face + chat button. Minimalistic creatives often win: a full-screen face, direct eye contact, and a simple “Reply” button. Pure engagement trigger.Image: Voice message & video call UI.
Overall, emotions convert best — boredom, loneliness, the desire to be understood — combined with a hint of sexual tension and curiosity.
Spy tools are already showing a surge in such creatives across Push, In-App, TikTok, and UAC. The bulk of activity is coming from top-tier GEOs like the US, Canada, Germany, and others.

How to Launch AI Dating Offers
AI dating is all about the right positioning. The concept of a “virtual girlfriend/boyfriend” already draws attention, but performance depends heavily on the angle you choose. Below are proven traffic sources, GEOs, and funnel structures that show stable results.
Best Traffic Sources
To get strong metrics, pick channels where AI dating creatives consistently perform:
- Push traffic — fast scaling and high CTR with the right teaser angles (“chat with the perfect girl/guy” + intrigue).
- In-app — great with smartlinks and GEO targeting; you can use partner-provided funnels or subscription models.
- TikTok Ads — currently one of the highest-converting sources. “Chat with an AI girlfriend,” “advice from a GPT-girl,” “virtual coach” angles convert extremely well.
- Adult networks — direct flows to NSFW AI companions. High CR, especially with warm traffic.
Top GEOs by Volume & Conversion
Choosing the right GEO is crucial — not just for traffic volume, but also for user quality and their willingness to pay.
| GEO | Why It Works |
|---|---|
| USA | Highest LTV, strong retention, willingness to pay |
| Canada | High engagement |
| Germany | NSFW-friendly, strong interest in privacy & customization |
| Australia | Experiment-friendly audience, high conversion from TikTok & Reddit |
| India | Cheap traffic, active Android users, strong interest in new tech |
Long-Lasting Funnel Combos
Some AI dating combos burn out fast — others perform for weeks with stable retention. These formats tend to “live” the longest:
- TikTok + Candy AI / FantasyGF
Use emotions, friendship, flirt. Can run for weeks — just refresh the creatives and CTA. - Push + GirlfriendGPT / Seduced AI
NSFW angle + deep engagement. Users stay long, retention 10+ days is common. - In-app + AI MOUR / Nectar AI
Perfect with smartlinks and Android-heavy traffic. Especially strong for Tier 2.
Final Thoughts
AI dating isn’t just a trend — it’s a full-fledged vertical with its own rules. Less competition, higher engagement, and more levers for retention. Running AI offers is often easier than classic dating, especially if you already have experience with NSFW, subscription models, or gaming audiences.
Right now is the perfect moment to enter — before the market gets saturated. Test offers, build your funnels, and scale while others are still watching from the sidelines
