I’ve done kinda decent on dating apps I think? I don’t know what your profile looks like so this could be useless advice but I like to include photos that show off my personality a bit like kinda silly photos for me. Make sure your bio isn’t just generic and you’ve included your interests and hobbies. I prefer to match with people I have lots in common with so seeing common interests in a bio is a huge plus for me. Also, keep it positive! Don’t say what you don’t want x or people shouldn’t swipe if they don’t like y.

I personally use the super likes which I know is kinda controversial. I currently live in the backass of nowhere (home for Covid) so most of my options are >40 Km away and super likes get me noticed a bit more. I also like Her and Hinge for the same reason that the other person will know I liked them. As mentioned there are so many people who don’t reply, aren’t active anymore or are just swiping to see how many likes they can get. At the end of the day dating is a numbers game so just keep at it and the someone awesome will eventually come along!
