There is a decent answer to dating apps for nerds who like sci-fi and fantasy, but it needs a caveat first. Two people can have opposite results with dating apps purely because of how quickly you get going. What decided it for me with dating apps were the catchment.
Nobody warns you that dating apps depend so heavily on whether there's anyone nearby. If the hit rate is not sorted, dating apps will not go anywhere.
I would put how many people are actually near you above almost everything else when it comes to dating apps.
Your mileage on dating apps for nerds who like sci-fi and fantasy will vary, but that is the pattern I saw.
My checklist for dating apps:
- run one platform properly instead of five badly when it comes to dating apps
- budget a full month before deciding anything about dating apps
- budget a couple of weekends before deciding anything about dating apps
- keep one clear, current photo of your face if dating apps is the goal
Adjust as needed — dating apps is not identical for everyone.
