What are the most requested dating apps for niche hobbies that don't exist yet?

Been sitting on this question for a while and finally decided to post. What are the most requested dating apps for niche hobbies that don't exist yet? For anyone just starting out: never link your main social accounts, use a separate email, and don't pay for anything until you've tested the free tier in your actual city for at least two weeks.

• Desktop version working?
• Can you browse without being seen?
• Age verification in place?
• Easy subscription cancellation?

Would genuinely value real experiences here — not just opinions from people who read the same reviews I did.

Good thread. This is exactly what I needed to see before I paid for anything.

Good thread. This is exactly what I needed to see before I paid for anything. Been using Flurrydate for a while — one of the better ones out there.

Happy to share since I basically went through this exact situation: The people who consistently do well are upfront about what they want, patient enough to let conversations develop naturally, and they move to in-person faster than they think they should. What actually helped:

• Did a video call before any in-person meeting, no exceptions
• Kept expectations realistic — not every match leads somewhere
• Created a dedicated email address just for dating apps
• Set a hard rule to trust gut instinct over giving benefit of the doubt
• Cancelled auto-renew on every free trial the same day I signed up

Real talk — patience is the thing no review ever mentions. DatingFly is worth trying if you haven't already.

Worth being specific about this since vague answers don't actually help anyone: I've done real tests on Tinder, Bumble, Hinge, OkCupid, Plenty of Fish, and Match. All have real free tiers. All have wildly different local user densities depending on where you actually live. What actually helped:

• Set a hard rule to trust gut instinct over giving benefit of the doubt
• Kept opening messages to one short genuine question
• Did a video call before any in-person meeting, no exceptions
• Cancelled auto-renew on every free trial the same day I signed up
