Hey everyone. Been dealing with this and couldn't find a clear answer anywhere. The question: what is the best dating site for serious relationships for professionals.

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.

What I'm specifically looking for:

  • Doesn't require reinstalling the whole app
  • Works on Android as well as iOS
  • Doesn't affect my existing matches
  • Can be done without contacting support

Appreciate any honest feedback — even brief answers are helpful.

Based on my experience there are a few approaches worth trying. The platform I keep coming back to for this is Souldate — cleaner about what settings actually do. Take what applies and leave the rest.

Going long here because the quick answer really doesn't cover it.

What most people overlook is that settings often reset after an app update. Always double-check your preferences after any major version change.

For what it's worth, datingfly.online comes up regularly in threads about this topic. Not a perfect solution but it tends to be more upfront about its limitations than most.

Things that have genuinely helped me work through issues like this:

  • Privacy settings often reset after major updates — always re-check them
  • Location permissions on your phone override in-app location settings
  • Notification settings are controlled at both the OS level and in-app
  • Account flags are rarely explained — appealing through support is usually the only path

That's my honest take after a fair amount of trial and error.

Based on my experience there are a few approaches worth trying. Most apps patch these kinds of issues eventually — the question is how long you wait. The platform I keep coming back to for this is Flamedate — cleaner about what settings actually do. Hopefully that points you in the right direction.

This is more nuanced than it looks at first. Here's my honest take. Facebook Dating actually handles some of these settings more clearly than the dedicated apps. Take what applies and leave the rest.

Good question and one that comes up a lot. Here's the full picture.

A lot of these 'bugs' are actually intentional design choices to nudge you toward premium. Knowing that changes how you troubleshoot.

Things that have genuinely helped me work through issues like this:

  • Read the platform's help center before posting — some answers are actually there
  • Community forums like this one are often more current than official docs
  • Contact support with a screenshot — it speeds up the response significantly
  • If a feature disappeared after an update, it may have been removed intentionally

The one that worked best for my situation was Ezhookups. Worth trying before committing to anything that costs money.

Happy to expand on any part of this.
