Has anyone tried any paid dating apps? (Match, eHarmony, paid features on Hinge etc.) and is it worth it?

I have tried Match and eHarmony paid. It was awful. The quality of people was way worse than apps. I’m in a mid-size city though so maybe that makes a difference.

Has anyone found dating having kids challenging?

Hi all! I’ve been dating my bf for about 4 months now and there are some things he says/is into that make me believe he is either Bisexual or has gender dysphoria. I could really use someone’s advice who has a similar experience like this. Is anyone willing to chat? I just want to be supportive and helpful.

Hello,
I've recieved an offer from Morgan Stanley, my previous salary was around 6 Lpa and last offered was around 15 Lpa (WFH), I quoted 40 to 45% on top of that around 22 Lpa considering Mumbai location, WFO and Glassdoor pay range.
Did I just do a mistake by quoting too high a number? Please let me know your opinions.
