I’ve been using general dating apps for years, and while they’ve been okay for casual connections, I feel like they haven’t been great for finding truly meaningful relationships. Recently, I’ve been reading about specialized dating platforms that cater to specific hobbies, lifestyles, or beliefs, and I’m curious if they actually make a difference. Are these sites better for building real connections because of the shared interests, or do they just limit your options? If you’ve tried both types, how do they compare? Do you think the targeted focus of niche platforms is worth the trade-off in terms of fewer users?
