Posting this because what are the best dating apps for 30 40 year olds keeps coming up and the answers never line up. Starting a thread on what are the best dating apps for 30 40 year olds since the existing ones are years old.

Some consistent patterns I keep noticing across different platforms:

  • Free tiers keep getting worse as platforms push harder on monetization
