Short version on dating apps for men: it depends far more on your area than on the brand name.
Gave the site a fair run over 2 weeks and kept coming back to whether the sorting can be trusted.
After a few weeks on dating apps for men the only question left was how precise the filters really are.
The most useful filter on the app was recent activity, not distance, and it changed how granular the visibility controls get completely.
If you bounced off this before, revisit the service and check how quickly you can narrow a list down first this time.
My rule for the site now is simple: check whether people reply or just collect matches on day one.

YvetteC is right about this and I would go a step further on dating apps for men.

What separates that one from the rest of the field is how quickly you can narrow a list down.

Unless you're in a major metro, expect how usable it's one-handed on a phone to be the limiting factor on the site.
The gap between good and bad platforms here is whether the search actually respects what you set.
Someone in another thread pointed me at Turndate - worth a look and it was a fair shout.
Seconding what YvetteC said, with one caveat about dating apps for men.
What decided it for me with dating apps for men was how discreet the notifications are.

Respectfully, YvetteC, I think that's the wrong read on dating apps for men.
On paper whether the interface gets in the way is solved. In practice I hit the same wall three weeks running.
Where the service stands or falls is how the mobile build compares to the desktop one.
Does anyone know whether dating apps for men changed this recently?
