Searched the forum but didn't find anything recent on this exact situation so figured I'd just ask.

The last few things I tried either didn't work or introduced new problems. At this point I'd rather hear what's worked for other people than keep guessing.

Appreciate any honest feedback — even brief answers are helpful.

So I've been through this exact issue and here's what I found. If you haven't looked at Datelink yet it might be worth checking out — fewer gotchas than the bigger names. Hopefully that points you in the right direction.

Ran into this exact thing last week. Still not fully resolved on my end.

Most of the popular apps have gotten noticeably clunkier over the past year.

Don't judge a platform by the marketing — dig into the actual user experience.

Yeah this caught me off guard too. Happy to share what worked for me.

So I've been through this exact issue and here's what I found. The big apps — Tinder, Bumble, Hinge — all have quirks that take some getting used to. Take what applies and leave the rest.

Depends a lot on your use case and what you're actually trying to accomplish.
