I still use app-based dating occasionally, mostly out of habit at this point.

The real differentiator across app-based dating turned out to be how the moderation handled obvious spam.

Counterpoint: I found Datedesire slow at first, then it picked up once I widened my radius.

Worth doing early on dating apps: treat any request for card details as a reason to leave.

What decides dating apps for most people is the time of year, not the app itself.

Careful with dating apps, because the quieter platforms can look active because of recycled profiles.
