I recently tried online dating as a 42 year old man and it was the most ego shattering experience I have suffered through in a long while. I used Taimi, Hinge and Tinder. Taimi was by far the best user friendly one, especially for a free user, Tinder was a wasteland of women with 4+ kids that 'arent on tinder for a hookup', and hinge was the worst, not a single interaction with a human my entire time on there.
