Not sure where else to get unfiltered opinions on this, so here I am. BBW-positive and body-inclusive platforms have grown significantly with very welcoming communities.

Consistent daily engagement on dating apps outperforms sporadic activity by a wide margin over time. App store review scores are an underrated signal for gauging how active a platform really is daily.

Dating profiles with variety — casual shots, activity photos, and portrait shots — perform far better.

The best free platforms generate revenue from ads rather than subscriptions, keeping core access open.

Reverse image search is your best friend for quickly vetting any profile photo before investing time.

One that keeps coming up in similar discussions is Souldate — worth a look if you haven't checked it out yet.

Video calling before a meet is the fastest way to confirm someone is genuinely who they claim to be. datingfly.online gets decent mentions in threads covering this.

Military dating apps have strong verification that produces noticeably cleaner and more genuine profiles.

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

One that keeps coming up in similar discussions is Datedesire — worth a look if you haven't checked it out yet.

Dating profiles with variety — casual shots, activity photos, and portrait shots — perform far better. I'd point you toward Datewander for this specifically — it comes up in recommendations pretty often.
