Question is, can CMB work if I have small number of facebook friends, while most of them are not even in this country?

Anyway, which apps and/or sites do you guys recommend? I was thinking Bumble, Tinder, Match, OkCupid, and maybe CMB. (As my cousin seem to show strong preference, even though she is denying it.)

Self-proclaimed online dating master here (I get TONS of dates and hookups from online dating).
Avoid CMB at all costs. Your cousin likes CMB because it puts all the power in the hands of the woman and the men take all the risk. It works like this: Every day, you're sent a number of matches at noon. Usually one, but sometimes more. You either "like" or "dislike" that match.
That's what the MEN see.
The women? When they log in, they get a list of all the men that "liked" them and they get to choose one. In other words, they never have to deal with the burden of being rejected. ALL the risk is on us.
On Tinder, if women swipe right and don't immediately match, they have to deal with the negative fee-fees of potential rejection.
When it comes to online dating (I really need to write a guide on this), the game is to get maximum results (a date, a hookup, whatever your goal is) with minimum investment. That's because the economics between women on online dating and men are so disparate.
I stick to Tinder and OkCupid and I do pretty good (15 matches on Tinder right now, 36 on OkCupid).
