Have you considered also sexing the person with whom she cheated on you? That would probably just even the playing field and you could get back together.

They're a pain in arse but they can definitely work. Especially if you're not in your mid-20s and out at bars and shows every night.
It does depend a lit on where you are. If you're in a big city, there'll be 1000s of real people that could seriously be a good match. In a smaller area, pretty limited.

You're doing it wrong. Hinge worked great for me. Bumble worked too but I had more interactions on hinge. The free versions. I met several women, went on several dates, and now am currently in a relationship with a wonderful woman who I met on hinge. I didn't have to pay to see my matches. If I were you I wouldn't worry about the "likes" that you can't see, just keep swiping and focus on the matches. And remember, every woman you talk to also has at least 10 other guys messaging her at the same time. The ladies get absolutely bombarded on that site. So don't get offended if they don't respond quickly. And don't send dick pics. Several ladies told me that they appreciated that I did not send a dick pic.

Are there any dating sites that truly work?

There are plenty of 45-55 year old women on Tinder.
Asking you to pay to see profiles that liked you is not a scam, that's how they work. Your alternative is some scammy shite like paying for every message. Just pay for a month for each, on a rotating basis (pay for Hinge this month, next month only pay for Bumble, etc) until you figure out which is more your style.
My challenge was at first looking for a replacement partner. Some women want to cut the date short and have you rail them (regardless of what's in their profile.) Be flexible, and understand just because a woman says she wants a LTR doesn't mean that's what she actually want. You actually don't want that either right now, because you're not ready for it. If you pretend you are, you'll probably blow up a lot of good opportunities to actually date.
Try FB Dating. A lot of conversations start, but because nobody is paying, conversations can naturally die off if they need to. All the other paid ones introduce time based (oh noes, I need to get her phone number, my scrip expires tomorrow!) scarcity.

I met my fiance on Match.com. I did the paid membership (keep in mind this was close to 10 years ago) and it was worth it to weed out a lot of the bullshite. I was in my 30s so I was too old for Tinder as well and neither Bumble or Hinge was around in my area yet.
I was also pretty straightforward with folks that I didn't want to just frick around and was looking for something that could potentially be a relationship.
Because of the size of your town, you're probably going to have to extend the radius of where you're looking and be willing to travel a little bit.

I mean...they all work. I know more than one person who has met their future spouse on a dating site/app.

They work if you’re good looking

100% true.
When I was on the apps I would take every opportunity to meet up with a chick for drinks even if I wasn't attracted to her. I'm a shy dude naturally but it really helped me with opening up and not being nervous on dates.

Get a dog. Will keep you company and possibly attract women.

I’ve heard those sites are 80% dudes.

That's more accurately described as smiling and having fun in your pics to the majority of women who don't have "gifts" listed as their love language.

I met my girlfriend of 2 years on Hinge. I was only on the app for a week before I met her. Second date I went on via the app.
Being 6 foot tall, making 6 figures, with a 6 pack of abs and a 6 inch dick helps, a lot.
Jokes aside, good luck.
Life starts at 40, everything before that was just research.

Yeah. I slay 2-3 a week off Tinder and Bumble as a 42 year old man. I can't imagine what the 25 year old Chads are doing.

Facebook dating is free and I've done well in there. Most accounts are real.
It's a part of Facebook. No charges. No add ons. Basically you like pictures they like pictures if you match you message. You will get some low quality matches. .
Don't be afraid to use filters on your pictures to make them stand out. And a funny bio helps.
You chat with them m if it progresses you Facebook message. Then text and meet up.
But it's not pay based like others. I agree with tinder and bumble. I would get liked. Pay then find out it was some scammer. That hasnt happened on facebook dating
