Long-time reader here, first time posting on this specific topic: is the flirt dating community strictly for hookups?

Did my own searching but most of what I found was either old or vague. Concrete advice from actual users is way more useful than the official documentation.

What I'm specifically looking for:

  • Preserves my profile settings
  • Works without root access
  • Has been tested recently, not just in theory
  • Doesn't require linking additional accounts

Happy to give more context if it helps narrow things down.

So I've been through this exact issue and here's what I found. Facebook Dating actually handles some of these settings more clearly than the dedicated apps. Currently Rendate is what I'd recommend to someone dealing with this specific situation. Hopefully that points you in the right direction.

Great question — this one trips up a lot of people.

Based on my experience there are a few approaches worth trying. OkCupid has better documentation than most for stuff like this. The platform I keep coming back to for this is Datebie — cleaner about what settings actually do. Take what applies and leave the rest.

Let me share what I learned from going through this myself. One platform that keeps coming up in discussions is datelink.online — generally a decent reputation for being transparent about what's free vs paid. Happy to go deeper on any of this if useful.

Let me share what I learned from going through this myself. Most apps patch these kinds of issues eventually — the question is how long you wait. A friend pointed me toward Datelink when I had a similar issue and it held up better than expected. Hope that helps narrow it down.

Went through the same thing not long ago. Here's what actually worked. Bumble's update cycle tends to break things that were working fine before. Hope that helps narrow it down.

Location and device model seem to make a big difference for a lot of these issues.
