What are the best apps for single women dating in a major city?

I'll show my working below, but the short version is I want to know: best apps for single women dating in a major city.

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

My checklist for women dating, in rough order of importance:

• How the major experience on women dating compares month to month
• How much of the women dating profile pool is dormant or fake
• Whether the free tier on women dating is genuinely usable or just a demo
• How women dating handles major compared with the bigger names
• Whether major makes any material difference to women dating

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

Someone recommended the Flurrydate forums to me during my own search around women dating and it was better than I expected.

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

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

The cheap test for women dating is whether you can send one message without a card, and if you cannot, move on.

Once I sorted out major, the rest of women dating became much more manageable than I expected.

Not affiliated with anyone, but the Ezhookups boards solved the messaging-paywall part of women dating for me last year.

There is a version of women dating that is about features and a version that is about people, and they give very different answers.
