Posting this here because I've consistently found better answers in forums than anywhere else online, though others in this thread disagree. How does the mingle2 dating app compare to Plenty of Fish for seniors?
In my case, some background: not a total beginner at this, but I'm trying to be smarter about where I invest time going forward, at least that has been the pattern. Broadly speaking, the major platforms have all gotten noticeably worse at the free tier over the last year or two, and I'm trying to figure out if there are still viable alternatives worth exploring, at least in my experience.
Specifically curious about:
- Generally speaking, whether the platform has genuine local activity or is mostly concentrated in major cities
- Honestly, how the free-to-paid conversion pressure compares to mainstream apps
- Realistically, what the typical quality of interaction looks like — depth of conversations, response rates
- Realistically, any platform-specific tips that aren't in the FAQ
As far as I can tell, I'll report back with my own experience once I've had time to test things properly, if the volume in your area is decent.
