What are the best nsa dating apps for completely anonymous encounters?

I've spent about three months poking at dating apps and I still don't have a clean answer.

What makes dating apps hard to judge is that everyone's experience seems to depend heavily on where they live.

Practically speaking, for dating apps I want to know:

• How dating apps treats encounters once you stop paying
• Whether encounters makes any material difference to dating apps
• Whether anyone has tested encounters properly on dating apps
• What the encounters side of dating apps looks like in practice
• How the encounters experience on dating apps compares month to month

Particularly interested in the encounters side of dating apps if anyone has been there.

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

For context on dating apps: I'm mid-thirties, mid-size city, and the pool was thinner than the marketing suggested.

To build on MaddieLane's answer about dating apps: This tracks. Once encounters enters the picture, dating apps stops being a simple comparison.

Does encounters actually matter for what you want, or is it a side issue for dating apps?

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

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

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

The encounters disagreement in this thread says more about dating apps than any single answer.

Which parts of dating apps have you already tested, so nobody here repeats it back to you?

Someone will probably mention Datingfly.online before this thread is done.
