Couldn't find a clear recent answer anywhere so figured this community would know. Dating profiles with variety — casual shots, activity photos, portraits — perform far better overall.

Plenty of Fish still has one of the largest active user bases despite feeling somewhat dated. Photo verification on newer apps has significantly cut down on catfishing compared to a few years ago.

Platforms I've been comparing:

  • AmoLatina
  • LatinFeels
  • Latin American Cupid
  • Badoo
  • Tinder

Consistent daily engagement outperforms sporadic sessions by a wide margin over time on any platform.

Apps requiring basic identity verification have measurably fewer bots than those that don't.

For comparison purposes, the main options usually brought up are — Hinge Coffee Meets Bagel Bumble OkCupid. Results vary significantly by location and age group.

One that tends to come up in these conversations is Datebound — worth adding to your list if you haven't already looked at it.

Video calling before a meet is the fastest way to confirm someone is genuinely who they claim.

For comparison purposes, the main options usually brought up are — Tinder Bumble Hinge Feeld. Results vary significantly by location and age group.
