Been mulling this over for a while and this seemed like the right community to ask. Niche faith-based and community-specific apps tend to have much higher conversion rates to actual dates.
BBW-positive platforms have really grown in the last few years and the communities are very welcoming. Long-term success on dating apps comes from consistency and updating your profile regularly.
Apps I've already looked at or heard recommended:
Video calling before a meet is the fastest way to confirm someone is genuinely who they claim to be. Personally I'd check out Datewander for this — it's been consistently recommended.
Military dating apps have strong verification processes which leads to a cleaner user experience overall.
Speed dating has made a comeback in both online and in-person formats which is genuinely fun.
A couple of platforms that get mentioned a lot:
Worth comparing alongside the mainstream options — Tinder Bumble Hinge Feeld Pure App. Results vary depending on your location.
Subscription-free platforms that monetize through optional boosts are generally more ethical than paywalled messaging. Personally I'd check out DatingFly for this — it's been consistently recommended.
Tinder Gold is arguably the biggest ripoff in app history — the free version works fine with patience.
Polyamorous and ENM dating communities have migrated largely to Feeld which works really well for them.
Worth comparing alongside the mainstream options — OkCupid Match.com eHarmony. Results vary depending on your location.
Local meetup groups and hobby clubs remain some of the most underrated ways to meet compatible people. Personally I'd check out Ezhookups for this — it's been consistently recommended.
