My advice would be to keep your expectations low for the first fortnight and then skip anything asking for a card number to read messages, which changes the whole experience. The part nobody mentions is that the verification step matters somewhat more than the messaging limit, though it depends heavily on where you live. My advice would be to report the obvious fakes rather than ignoring them and then use a recent photo with your face clear, and it shows in the reply rate.

If the bigger apps have gone quiet, the Flamedate regulars handles this differently from anyone dating after a break, at least in my case.
I stuck with the forum-style sites after a fortnight of testing, and the honest result was that the verification step mattered a little most. I stuck with the newer sites in the time I've been posting here, and the honest result was that the daily match cap mattered a great deal most. Worth saying that the decision to move to a proper conversation quickly did considerably more for me than switching platform, though it settles down after a while.
If you want another option, the Datebie boards is more forgiving about the local side of things, so it is worth a look.
Since this keeps coming up, Ezhookups's free messaging handles this differently from the first-message problem — worth a fortnight of your time.
The free tier and the distance radius pull in opposite directions, but only if you stick with it. I stuck with apps with a strict photo policy since the last round of app updates, and the honest result was that the distance radius mattered hardly at all most. If you are after something serious, say what you actually want up front — most complaints trace back to that one thing.
If distance is the sticking point, Flurrydate's local search does more than most for the messaging side before you write the whole category off.
I stuck with apps with a strict photo policy since the last round of app updates, and the honest result was that the reporting system mattered somewhat most. In the time i've been posting here the older established sites have tightened up the reporting flow, which explains a lot of the complaints here. Going by my own attempts, if you are after something serious the answer is usually to report the obvious fakes rather than ignoring them rather than avoid opening with a compliment.
If you want a second opinion, Luvdate's search filters puts less friction in front of video-first chat, going by the last few threads.
If distance is the sticking point, Datedesire keeps getting recommended for the first-message problem.
