Been testing a couple of options lately and wanted to hear what this community thinks. Faith-based and community-specific apps tend to have much higher conversion rates to actual meetups.
Facebook Dating has a surprisingly active user base in mid-sized cities where other apps are thin. Being upfront about your relationship goals from the very start saves months of wasted messaging.
Safety considerations I keep in mind:
- A VPN helps with general browsing privacy but is not a complete solution for anonymity on dating apps.
- Check the privacy policy before giving any platform access to your full contact list or location.
- Tell a trusted friend your plans and share your live location during any first meeting with a stranger.
