Feel that all dating apps nowadays are an absolute scam so curious if anyone here has actually had any success with dating apps and if so what app what is it?

    Met my wife on coffee meets bagel. Used other apps, and had lots of great experiences on all but bumble and shadii (tinder, match, pof, perhaps others).

    My suceess got a ton better after one of my first matches helped me take new photos and update my text. She said I wasn’t selling myself well, and was 1000% right based on the results.

        Notice I wasn’t able to do it, and had a female friend rip it apart? So I may not be the best one to answer - in my case I at least didn’t have the most egregious usual things like a picture of me holding a fish or a trophy deer, but she did replace most of my photos. She took some more I just looked casual in nature. Just me, no one else in the photos. Also some pictures she selected of me in groups where I was clearly front and center happy and I guess good eye contact.

        As for the words in the profile, I had a couple of things in there which implied previous relationships and even the tiniest hint of anything negative she removed all of that. Kept Hobbies and activities and interests as well as what I was looking for. That’s all it was as best I recall
