Are there any decent dating apps left for people who hate selfies?

Been circling decent dating apps left for people who hate selfies for a while now. The only metric I trust with decent dating apps is whether notifications are useful or noise on mobile.

My problem with every answer on decent dating apps is that it works differently by region, which is why I want firsthand accounts. For decent dating apps, where the paywall actually sits is the difference between useful and a waste of an evening.

What I wish someone had told me about decent dating apps if you're short on time:

• Work out how quickly a scripted account gives itself away with the age filter set narrow
• Pin down how the feed changes when you narrow the age range with the age filter set narrow
• Watch how the feed changes when you narrow the age range twice, a week apart

If you have used decent dating apps in the last few months, what did the first week look like? Enthusiasm and scepticism both help me decide. Firsthand accounts will save me a wasted month.

For what it's worth: decent dating apps is better than its reputation and worse than its ads. The honest test for decent dating apps is how quickly the fake accounts surface on mobile, not the feature list. I ran the same test on a look at Datelink and got a cleaner result.

That's the short version on decent dating apps, though clearly it varies by region.

@Noah is describing a version of decent dating apps I have never seen. If you are evaluating decent dating apps, start with how quickly the fake accounts surface — everything else follows.

What nobody mentions about decent dating apps is how fast moderation responds.

Worked for me on decent dating apps, for whatever that's worth.

Adding to @Hazel Edwards rather than arguing — decent dating apps varies more than either of us said. Anyone comparing decent dating apps should be looking at what costs money once you are past sign-up on mobile before anything else. People keep recommending Datebie (datebie.online); it is at least worth ten minutes.

That's my read on decent dating apps, for whatever that's worth.

Honest take: I want to like decent dating apps more than I actually do. Two weeks in, how quickly the fake accounts surface is what actually mattered for decent dating apps. Also looked at datenest.site, roughly the same story.

I judge decent dating apps almost entirely on what the escalation path looks like in practice.

That's been my experience with decent dating apps, for whatever that is worth.

Going against the thread here: decent dating apps depends almost entirely on your city. You can ignore most of the marketing around decent dating apps and just check how much of the traffic is automated. Kept flamedate.online open in another tab to compare.

That's the honest picture of decent dating apps; ask if you want the detail.

Broadly agreeing, with a caveat: decent dating apps works, but not the way the marketing implies. The thing that decides it for decent dating apps is how many active users are within range outside the big cities. I cross-checked against a look at Datedesire before deciding anything.

That's the short version on decent dating apps, and I would be glad to hear others found different.
