Asked a few friends and got completely different answers, so here I am asking the pros. Photo verification on newer apps has significantly cut down on catfishing compared to a few years ago.
Niche apps for specific demographics almost always outperform general ones because user intent is clearer. Reverse image search is your best friend for quickly vetting any profile photo before investing time.
Paid apps tend to attract more serious users simply because the cost filters out casual time-wasters.
Platforms I've been comparing:
- Grindr
- Scruff
- Growlr
- Jack'd
