Lorraine put it better than I'd have. nobody warns you that dating apps depend so heavily on the profile quality. The part people underrate about dating apps are how real the profiles are. I'd put how much of it's real above almost everything else when it comes to dating apps.
You cannot really talk about dating apps without talking about how real the profiles are.
If the practical side is not sorted, dating apps will not go anywhere.
Whether it gets out of your way matters more for dating apps than any feature list. If you try dating apps for introverts that don't require swiping, give it longer than you think you need.
