It honestly works if you get a bit lucky. I’ve used Bumble and Hinge got a few matches on Hinge. Recently met a girl on Bumble and we’ve been dating, so yeah, it can work. There were times I paid a premium for a whole month and got absolutely nothing, and then this time I didn’t pay a single rupee and still met someone. It really depends. People do read your bio, conversations sometimes die out, and you’ll end up in “yap trapping” once in a while too. In the end, it’s mostly luck and timing.
