Honestly, I'd avoid opening with a compliment rather than read the last few pages of a thread before asking, since it costs nothing to try. Worth saying that the decision to keep your expectations low for the first fortnight did noticeably more for me than switching platform, so results vary more than you'd think.
- The detail people skip is that the profile prompt matters quite a lot more than the age check, so treat the reviews with caution
- For what it's worth, the search filter setup is the thing that decides it, although the regional platforms rarely say so
- Worth saying that the decision to widen the distance radius early on did marginally more for me than switching platform, which explains a lot of the complaints here
From the threads I've read, if you are only browsing free options the answer is usually to skip anything asking for a card number to read messages rather than report the obvious fakes rather than ignoring them. In the past six months most of the free apps have stopped showing profiles past a certain distance, which explains a lot of the complaints here.
Having tried most of these, if you are after something serious the answer is usually to avoid opening with a compliment rather than test two platforms at once.
