I had the same question about best dating apps for men who want marriage about a year ago. I would put how it handles day to day above almost everything else when it comes to dating apps.

Three things that changed dating apps for me:

  • plan for a full month before deciding anything about dating apps
  • fill the profile out properly, not half way while you are testing dating apps
  • treat an empty profile as a pass before you judge dating apps
  • give it ten days before deciding anything about dating apps

The learning curve matters more for dating apps than any feature list.

What decided it for me with dating apps were the success side. Worth testing best dating apps for men who want marriage yourself for a week before deciding.
