Spent a while looking into this and couldn't find a clear answer, so here I am. Niche apps for specific demographics almost always outperform general ones because the intent is clearer.
Use a Google Voice number instead of your real number when you're still getting to know someone new. Military dating apps have strong verification processes that produce a noticeably cleaner user pool.
Safety considerations I keep in mind:
- A VPN helps with general browsing privacy but is not a complete solution for anonymity on dating apps.
- Use a Google Voice number instead of your real number when you're still getting to know someone new.
- Tell a trusted friend your plans and share your live location during any first meeting with a stranger.
