Seconding @Adam_J. What settled it for me on dating apps was how it behaves after a month of use.
Came back to dating apps after a break. Over about a fortnight, what people reported was clearly ahead on this one point.
I wasted the first ten conversations on dating apps because I would assume every profile is current.
What matters more than the feature list on dating apps is how the free tier compares with the paid one.
If anyone has tested dating apps properly, I want to know what the daily limits feel like in use.
Rough notes from using dating apps:
- Compare two platforms side by side — it is the one habit that moved dating apps for me
- Do not send the same opener to everyone; with dating apps it costs you a couple of evenings
- What the follow-through looked like after roughly six weeks of dating apps was better than I expected
- The thing that separates the good ones is what decides whether dating apps is worth it
