Long-time lurker, first thread — my question is about dating apps that pay you to go on dates. Same story on dates scam: how well it works on a weak connection collapses as soon as the platform makes verification optional and then hides who has done it. Every time dates apps comes up, most of the disappointment traces back to the share of verified profiles.

With dates, how far the free tier gets you is the number worth watching, not the badge on the download page. I judge dates on one thing: you get further if you turn off precise location until you trust someone.

• Test the search filters before uploading anything — nothing about dates makes sense until you've checked it.
