Boiling down what I have learned about dating apps:
- whether account deletion on dating apps means what it claims
- how the age filter behaves once you actually use dating apps
- if the onboarding questions is genuinely enforced — worth checking before you commit to dating apps
Having tried a fair few, I would say the app is less important than the habits when it comes to dating apps.
On dating apps, technique matters more than the tool.
With dating apps specifically, habits matter more than app choice.
You can usually spot the difference on dating apps by how the account handles a direct question.
If whether the profile prompts actually works when you test it against dating apps is not there, I do not bother with dating apps at all.
One more data point on dating apps: Datedesire was better than the reviews suggested.
