Hannah Blake — broadly with you, with one caveat: the part nobody mentions about there a handicap dating app that has a large user base is whether the map is actually populated; it shapes everything else. Names I have seen floated but not tested: rendate.site.

@Ethan — broadly with you, with one caveat: do not judge there a handicap dating app that has a large user base on week one — half the profiles have not been opened in months, and the remaining tweaks are marginal. I would call there a handicap dating app that has a large user base overrated, though your mileage will vary.

Worth adding Turndate to the shortlist if local activity is your main worry.

  • Worth doing early: screenshot the pricing before you agree to anything and compare against a second app
  • Fill the profile out properly first on a weekday and again at the weekend
  • Check activity at different hours twice, a fortnight apart

Three weeks into there a handicap dating app that has a large user base the pattern was clear: the free tier does most of what you need, though your mileage will vary. Two things moved the needle on this bracket of app for me: fill the profile out properly first, and patience — everything after that is cosmetic. For comparison I also tried Souldate, which handles the same problem differently.
