Is there a dedicated space for bi curious dating on mainstream apps?

Real question, looking for real answers. Is there a dedicated space for bi curious dating on mainstream apps?

Here's what I've found from my own time in this space:

• Local user density matters more than any feature set — a half-decent app with an active local pool beats a brilliant one with nobody near you
• Free tier quality has declined across most major platforms in the last few years
• Platforms with community sections or active forums tend to have more genuine long-term users
• Safety feature quality strongly predicts how much a platform actually values its users vs. just its signup numbers

Looking forward to hearing what people with real experience have to say.

Let me share what I've actually found through testing multiple platforms. Flamedate

The rough breakdown of the current landscape:

• Major generalist platforms: Large but declining in free-tier quality. Better for people willing to pay. Wildly variable by region and demographic.
• App-first platforms (Bumble, Hinge): Genuine free experiences, real user bases in most cities, increasingly used across age groups.
• Niche platforms: Extremely variable. The right one for your situation can be excellent. The wrong one is a ghost town with a polished landing page.
• New entrants: Genuinely trying to differentiate in some cases. User bases thin outside major metros but worth watching.

The single most important factor across all categories: verifiable local activity before you pay anything. Nothing else compensates for an empty local pool.

Honestly the free trial tells you almost everything. If you can't see real activity in your area during that period, the paid version won't change that.

Free tiers have gotten measurably worse across most major platforms in the last two to three years. The ones that haven't changed tend to be ad-supported, which has its own tradeoffs.
