Let me answer plenty of fish dating app still a ghost town by describing what actually happened. I stopped comparing feature lists on platforms like these and started comparing how much personal data it asks for.

It took roughly three weeks before the pattern on these apps was clear. Still worth it with the apps in question if you are only checking in weekly? Take that as one data point on plenty of fish dating app still a ghost town, not gospel.

Going to push back slightly on how plenty of fish dating app still a ghost town usually gets described. You can ignore most of the marketing around the apps in question and just check how much personal data it asks for.

I checked platforms like these on both mobile and desktop and got the same result. Would be interested to hear whether apps of this type behaved differently for anyone else.

I'd frame plenty of fish dating app still a ghost town differently to how the question is worded.

For dating app I look at:

  • how dating app handles photo privacy
  • how fish dating treats a paused account
  • whether platforms like these lets you filter by intent

Has anyone tried dating app outside a major city? Curious whether others found the same on apps of this type.

Worth a look at LuvDate if the big apps get pushy with upsells.

CindyR makes a reasonable case but I have tested plenty of fish dating app still a ghost town more recently and it does not match.

The order I check things with fish dating:

  • whether you can hide distance on fish dating app
  • how many dating app accounts look dormant
  • whether the free tier on platforms like these includes search filters
  • how blocking works on fish dating app

None of this was obvious to me about fish dating until month two. I have no stake in the apps in question — this is just what I observed. Ask if you want the specifics on platforms like these.

I keep the DateDesire community as a backup when the main app goes quiet.

Tested fish dating app once you're actually using it and the difference showed within days. Still forming a view on platforms like these, so push back if I've it wrong.
