A few things I've been running into that seem consistent:

  • Bots and recycled profiles are way more common than the platforms admit
  • Smaller, niche communities sometimes punch above their weight for real engagement

The advice above on what are the best dating apps for guys who aren't photogenic is fine in theory, less so in practice. My read on dating apps guys, after a while, is that a bio with something answerable is worth three lines of adjectives. Once you accept that filters make the profile feel like a stock image, the rest of dating apps guys gets easier. Two months into dating apps guys it became obvious that the photo order matters more than the photo count. I used to think otherwise, but with dating apps guys, sunglasses in every shot reads as hiding.

Roughly what I would do: Luvdate is the one I recommend when someone asks me about dating apps guys offline.

  • Give dating apps guys four full weeks before you judge it.
  • Meet sooner rather than texting for three weeks about dating apps guys.
  • Drop the group shot — in dating apps guys nobody can tell which one is you.
