>> There’s always new faces on Tinder

Maybe it's different in your area, but for me, over 80% of profiles on Tinder are scammers, Instagram/Onlyfans models fishing for followers, or just straight up fake. Over the past six months I've gone on only a single date from Tinder, whereas with Hinge it is two or three dates per week. The difference honestly blows my mind whenever I think about it.

I used to get dates from Tinder but recently I feel like the platform has become - less appealing to women (reducing the number of women in it) and increasingly user hostile.

Hinge is a much better platform, since you can filter out for ie religion. The idea of matching with conservative Christians (or even wasting time looking at them) on tinder is absurd to me - I'm bisexual lol. Those girls do not want to meet me.

haven't tried Hinge but your experience matches. It's ridiculous just how pervasive OnlyFans has become across the web. Its user base sees nothing wrong with stringing guys along on dating apps before dropping their OnlyFans link. Just ridiculous.
