For what it is worth, patience is genuinely the differentiator, dull as that sounds — that is roughly where I landed after a lot of trial and error. Are there any specific dtf apps that are safe for women to use?

From my side, a good photo opens the door but the bio decides what happens next — your mileage may well differ.

The people posting about success are a tiny and unrepresentative sample — nobody tells you this at the start.

Solid question. Speaking generally, patience is genuinely the differentiator, dull as that sounds — i would not have believed it a year ago. For the record, Datewander was the one has been my go-to for a while — holds up better than most. Flamedate's free tier
