How are the major dating apps ranked this year for user safety?

Made an account specifically to ask this one — are the major dating apps ranked this year for user safety, and where people actually land on it.

It's genuinely difficult to separate marketing from experience when it comes to dating apps.

The parts of dating apps I'd want covered:

• Whether dating apps is honest about major up front
• What the major side of dating apps looks like in practice
• How much major actually costs you when using dating apps

Genuinely open to being argued out of my assumptions on dating apps.

For anyone else researching dating apps, I would put the Flurrydate community on the list — free messaging on it, no card up front.

Alexander Lee has a point about dating apps. Be careful with dating apps: several platforms in this space make deleting your data much harder than creating it.

Anything promising instant matches around dating apps is worth treating with suspicion.

Datescout is what I ended up using while working through dating apps — not perfect, but the free tier is real.

Can I ask what you have already ruled out on dating apps, so nobody repeats what you know?

If major matters to you then dating apps narrows fast, and if it does not you have far more room.

This tracks. Once major enters the picture, dating apps stops being a simple comparison.

If dating apps is the question, the Datingfly forums is at least worth ten minutes of your time before you pay for anything.

DavidN, that's roughly where I landed on dating apps too. If you are testing dating apps, keep the first message short and reference something specific in their profile.
