I started asking about this on a comment on another thread, but figured I needed to expand on my questions and write a full post.

We have had some great couples experiences since venturing in to the LS! But like most couples, we occasionally would like to meet a wonderful unicorn. We've been around long enough to know how insanely difficult that is. But still, we try. Lately, we've been kicking around the idea of Tinder or OkCupid for the search. My reasoning is, there is likely a fair amount of open minded, fun single woman out there, but there's a big difference between being open minded and jumping into the LS as a single. So we figure, why not try out an app catering to singles to find the right type. Someone that may not have thought about fun with a couple, but when presented with the idea, may just go for it. I know we aren't nearly the first to have this thought, so we're looking for advice on how to do it best.

So here's my questions:

1: Given that it's primarily a dating app and only catering to singles, what's the most successful way to set it up? Guy looking for girl? Girl looking for girl? If it's g for g, do you primarily get lesbians?

2: Do you openly put what you are looking for, or just leave it vague and approach it slowly through text?

3: Anonymity is extremely important to us. We don't put out face pics anywhere public or even semi-public. We'll show them quickly once we start talking to people, but we don't want people just browsing to come across us. Even more important on these apps since we don't have that unspoken "we both have a secret, so we keep each other's secret" thing going. Should we just post some neck down shots? Not thinking anything too racy. Post pics of both of us, or just one? Or do you think a face pic is a must? That would be a deal killer for us.

4: The one other thing we think we've already sorted out is a need for a separate Facebook account since these seem to use them. We don't want that attached to either of our accounts. Feeld is one thing because you hope the app creator knows people don't want to cross between the two worlds. But it seems Tinder actually uses Facebook for suggestions. That could create issues. For those that have done a separate Facebook account, how does that work on your phone? Do you have to always be logged in to the new Facebook account to use Tinder? Or can you just log into once on your phone to setup Tinder and log back in to your regular one after?

We know people have been successful with the approach. We look forward to any and all suggestions people may have! Thanks!
