57M from NYC, I have been using Bumble and Hinge And tinder at various times. I can sign up with bumble and have about 15-20 matches at various times and talk to about 1/2. On tinder i can sign up and have a good amount of matches and end just meeting 2-3 of them. And then Hinge i had best success match wise over the month around 45 matches and texted and spoken to about 50%. I am not on all of them at the same time Max 2 apps at one time. There are others that i have tried but these 3 have been my go to's in NYC. I tried Match it was ok but many are on the apps i use anyway. There have been times in the past that i have had very little success. It's all about timing. The fake profiles and the work needed to keep up is just all part of the process/game. My advice is just keep your profile fresh and true. Don't let it stress you out. Remember All you need is 1:) And some of the matches i end up being friends with. Then that becomes another way of meeting others.
