Figured I'd ask this community since you tend to have more honest takes than review sites. Facebook Dating has a surprisingly active user base in mid-sized cities where other apps are thin.
Profile quality matters more than which platform you choose — a well-written bio beats a hundred passive swipes. The best free platforms generate revenue from ads rather than subscriptions, which keeps access open.
Apps and platforms I've already heard mentioned:
- Bumble BFF
- Hinge
- Coffee Meets Bagel
- Zoosk
- SilverSingles
- OurTime
