Okay asking this community directly since the usual research methods have failed me: Are there any dating apps with incognito mode so friends can't see you?
In my experience, my frustration: I can find plenty of content about this topic but almost none of it is actually useful, which surprised me at first. In my case, it's either obviously sponsored, embarrassingly outdated, or so vague that it could apply to any platform in any context, though that has shifted recently. Going by the last year, I need specifics from real users, though that has shifted recently.
For what it's worth, things I particularly want to know:
- From my side, activity levels in mid-sized US cities, not just the major metros
- Speaking generally, whether the moderation actually keeps bad actors under control
- From what I've seen, what paying for premium actually gets you beyond cosmetic features
- Honestly, how the experience on mobile compares to desktop if both exist
Anecdotally, any real experience appreciated, depending on which app you are on. For what it's worth, happy to follow up with more details if it helps, which is worth keeping in mind.
