Is the mingle2 dating app mostly fake profiles?

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

Most of what's written about dating app is either two years out of date or quietly sponsored.

For what it's worth I did test a couple of options around dating app before posting.

The parts of dating app I'd want covered:

• How dating app handles mingle compared with the bigger names
• Whether mingle makes any material difference to dating app
• Whether mingle is worth prioritising over everything else in dating app
• Whether anyone has tested mingle properly on dating app
• What the mingle side of dating app looks like in practice

Particularly interested in the mingle side of dating app if anyone has been there.

Watch for the pattern where dating app is free to browse and paid to reply, which is very common now.

Agree with the framing here, because dating app really does come down to who is active near you.

I keep the Turndate threads open alongside the bigger names when I'm dealing with dating app.

I'll be the dissenting voice: my experience with dating app was the opposite of what's being described here.

The mingle disagreement in this thread says more about dating app than any single answer.

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

This tracks. Once mingle enters the picture, dating app stops being a simple comparison.

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

Counterpoint — treating dating app as a numbers problem is exactly what kept me stuck for a year.

I gave up on dating app twice before it worked, and the difference the third time was being far more specific in my bio.

Just flagging that some results you will find for dating app are review farms rather than reviews.

Someone recommended the Flamedate threads to me during my own search around dating app and it was better than I expected.

This is the correct question, and most threads about dating app start two steps further along and miss it.
