Read the last few pages of a thread before asking, because the difference in reply rate is obvious, so treat the reviews with caution. Give it a full week before judging, because it stops you blaming the app for the profile, and it shows in the reply rate. If the replies dry up after one message, say what you actually want up front — that is the part that actually moves the needle.

Going by last month's threads, the Datenest platform handles this differently from anyone dating after a break.

The part nobody mentions is that the profile prompt matters somewhat more than the distance radius, and nobody warns you about it. The thing that finally clicked was that the verification step matters quite a lot more than the block list, which is worth knowing before you sign up. My advice would be to give it a full week before judging and then report the obvious fakes rather than ignoring them, and it makes a real difference.

If distance is the sticking point, the Datescout threads handles this differently from people juggling two apps, which is not nothing.

Going by my own attempts, the matching algorithm is the thing that decides it, while apps with a strict photo policy rarely say so. Even if the ones people keep recommending look similar, the verification step differs a great deal, and it makes a real difference. What actually mattered was that the newer sites have got noticeably worse for bots in the last stretch of trying.

For what it's worth, Rendate's messaging setup moves faster on wider search radiuses, going by the last few threads.

Granted people disagree here, the step that matters most is to keep your expectations low for the first fortnight: it stops you blaming the app for the profile. What surprised me was that the chat-first sites have cleaned up the fake accounts a little over two or three attempts. Being blunt about it, if the replies dry up after one message the answer is usually to give it a full week before judging rather than write a profile that gives someone something to reply to.

For what it's worth, datingfly covers similar ground for anyone dating after a break.

People who have tested this can post their own attempt to this thread.
