How old are you? It’s been years since I dated, but I had a decent amount of success on dating apps. It can take time to curate a good profile. Also, my understanding is that free options are nonexistent or flooded with fake OF profiles, so that might make it more difficult

I'm 27. I've been on and off on dating apps for a few years now. Very rarely get matches. Tried all the profile advice. Nothing works. Doesn't help you also have to filter through a sea of girls trying to pump their Instagram followers or OF subs and don't actually care about dating. It just feels like these apps have been nothing but a drain on my mental health with basically nothing to show for it.

Yeah, the Instagram and OF stuff wasn’t around when I was using dating apps. That sounds pretty difficult to get through. Seems like Match Group bought all the competition and ruined it from what I’ve heard.
