I don't plan to use dating apps again. All of my (admittedly few) successful romantic relationships have been through friends-of-friends, work colleagues or serendipity - so that's what seems to work for me. I think part of the problem is that dating complete strangers sucks because, well, you simply don't know them or know anyone they know. It's basically selecting at random hoping for a good fit. Similar hobbies and interests can only take you so far. I originally wrote a longer reply on why swipe apps don't work for me but it wasn't particularly insightful (the "20% of men get all the women" issue). When I was using dating apps, I had the best results with OKCupid and I hope those profile based sites make a comeback.
