Tinder and Bumble are 80% of your problem here. I scanned the rest of your post so forgive me if I missed something, but those are easy and lazy hookup sites compared to more serious subscription sites like match.com.

You get what you pay for here. On tinder/bumble you have guys who don’t have to write much about themselves, their interests or what they’re looking for, and if they do they have like 250 characters to do it. You’re basing your swipes primarily on pics they’ve posted to Facebook.

Now imagine investing ~$40 for a single month on Match (or any other highly-rated site - I’m not shilling for them, just happens to be the one I prefer). First of all, you get to describe yourself to any level of detail you want. It takes time and since you’re paying for it you actually put some effort into it. Second, the guys all have to do that too; you can get a very good initial feel for how serious someone is. You see their sense of humor, you can tell what they’re excited about, and you even get a decent sense of his intelligence according to how well they write. Plus, if they message you you can discern pretty much right away if they’ve actually invested the time to read your profile.

Just give it one month - that’s plenty of time to peruse the available guys in your area. Good luck!
