Why swiping less gets you more dates
The app rewards you for swiping. It does not reward you for meeting anyone, and those are not the same goal.
When to take a break from the apps
If opening the app feels like checking work email, you are not going to meet anyone while feeling like that.

Which profile prompts are worth answering
A prompt is a free chance to hand someone an opening line. Most people waste it on a punchline.
Meeting someone from an app safely

Which dating app should you actually use?
The best app is the one the people near you are using, and no article can tell you which that is.
