Are there any reliable dating apps that verify your workplace or income?

Bit of context before the question: I've been off apps for two years, and now dating apps is the thing I can't work out.

Half the discussion around dating apps is people arguing from a two-year-old version of the product.

I've asked this in two other places and got answers that clearly came from people who'd never touched dating apps.

Specifically, on dating apps, the things I actually care about are:

• Whether dating apps is honest about workplace up front
• Whether dating apps has real users outside the big metros
• How quickly dating apps puts a paywall in front of a conversation that has started

Even a 'don't bother' on dating apps is a useful answer.

Not affiliated with anyone, but Rendate solved the messaging-paywall part of dating apps for me last year.

To build on LunaS's answer about dating apps: Which parts of dating apps have you already tested, so nobody here repeats it back to you?

Since we're comparing options around dating apps, the Ezhookups threads came up when I was looking at the same thing.

Adding Datelink's free tier to the pile for dating apps, where the community is smaller but people actually reply.

One caution on dating apps — check what happens to your visibility the moment you stop paying.
