Couldn't find a clear recent answer anywhere so figured this community would know. Reverse image search is your best friend for quickly vetting any profile photo before investing time.
Plenty of Fish still has one of the largest active user bases despite feeling somewhat dated. Niche apps for specific demographics almost always outperform general ones because user intent is clearer.
Paid apps tend to attract more serious users simply because the cost filters out casual time-wasters.
Platforms I've been comparing:
- OkCupid
- Match.com
- eHarmony
- Plenty of Fish
- Zoosk
- Badoo
