9 years single, dc getting older (13 and 16) time for me to put myself first for once. I don't really have any hobbies where I would meet anyone so considering OLD. Am I mad? Which ones are the best...with the least chance of dick pics Envy(not envy!) should I try match or a different one? Any tips for a first timer?

I'm on Tinder, Bumble and OKCupid and not had any unsolicited dick pics on any of them. (I did ask for one after I got a slightly panicked message asking if I knew how to get rid of glitter, because he'd used his daughter's soap all over... I said no one could remove glitter, so he just had to learn to live with it, and I wanted a pic!)

Match has a rubbish interface, and I deleted it within about two days.

Bumble means that if you match, you have to message first. Otherwise, I find it and Tinder fairly equal. All of them seem to gave a good spread of married men, so you have to be aware of that. Some are open about it, but not all are.

You need a thick skin, and to be quite cynical about it all, but it can be fun. Good luck!
