I read someone here recently comment that they’ve found a great deal of success expanding beyond the big Match.com owned apps (Tinder, Bumble, Hinge etc.) and on to smaller newer ones.

Now the thing is a lot of these smaller newer ones tend to also be harbors for bots/scammers, so I think we need a sort of consumer review discussion here about which of these smaller apps actually have potential!

Anyone who’s had experience wading into the less mainstream apps please give your stories on which have potential.

Also please please none of the usual “dating apps suck/are pointless, go out and approach’s blah blah” cliche responses, I personally think you can’t rule out online as a valuable resource for finding women, even if you also approach irl, especially if you have great photos of yourself!
