I’m curious what people are actually using right now because my experience with the big apps has been mixed.
Question for everyone here: Is plus size dating easier on niche apps or on Instagram?
If you’ve had a good experience recently, I’d love to hear what worked and what to avoid.
What helped me was setting a few rules for myself: I only match with complete profiles, I don’t move to WhatsApp immediately, and I meet in a public place the first time.
Apps I see people actually using (depends on location): Tinder, Grindr, Facebook Dating, Bumble, Hinge, Coffee Meets Bagel.

Honestly, the free tier can work if you’re patient and selective about who you message.
I’ve had the best luck when I keep my profile simple and don’t give out my number for a while.
