This might sound stupid, but I genuinely want to know if there are good guys on dating apps? If so, how do I find them? Or help them find me?

About 2 or 3 years ago I tried Tinder and answered some Craigslist personal adds. Every date I went on was awful. I got guys who were rude, obviously looking for hookups, on probation, 100lbs heavier than their photos, "Dylans", ultra-feminist, etc.

I'm getting close to my 1 year mark of being single, which is when I told myself I'm allowed to start dating again. So, I'm preparing myself and want to know what you all think of dating apps, and if they're even a viable option. If so, any tips for vetting online or setting up my profile to get the right kind of attention? I'm 25, so I'd really like to meet a man who is around 30 - 40 years old

As an added twist, I live in the bay area in California. So, quality men are much more scarce and have nearly unlimited access to plates galore.
