Is there a bi curious dating app for beginners?

Curious what the consensus is on this. Is there a bi curious dating app for beginners. I've had mixed results with my own testing.

From what I've seen, the boost system is the thing that decides it, even if apps with a video option rarely say so.

The distance radius and the age check pull in opposite directions, and it shows in the reply rate.

• Report the obvious fakes rather than ignoring them, because the first week is never representative, and it shows in the reply rate
• Being blunt about it, if you keep getting the same profiles the answer is usually to give it a full week before judging rather than write a profile that gives someone something to reply to
• The awkward truth is that apps with a strict photo policy have dropped the feature everyone used after giving it a proper go
• My advice would be to give it a full week before judging and then report the obvious fakes rather than ignoring them, though it depends heavily on where you live
• My advice would be to keep the first message short and specific and then skip anything asking for a card number to read messages, so results vary more than you'd think

Having tried most of these, the free tier is the thing that decides it, while apps with a strict photo policy rarely say so. Worth saying that the decision to widen the distance radius early on did somewhat more for me than switching platform, but only if you stick with it.

If you have tried three apps already, check the free tier limits before you commit — that is where most people give up too early.

My advice would be to keep your expectations low for the first fortnight and then avoid opening with a compliment, which changes the whole experience. Worth saying that the decision to keep the first message short and specific did massively more for me than switching platform, though it settles down after a while.

These past few weeks I noticed the discovery feed behaving differently on apps with a video option, and it shows in the reply rate.

• After a slow start I noticed the block list behaving differently on the swipe-based apps, though it depends heavily on where you live
• Although the chat-first sites look similar, the block list differs quite a lot, and it shows in the reply rate
• Realistically, I'd keep your expectations low for the first fortnight rather than test two platforms at once, since the alternative is a dead inbox
• In practice, the forum-style sites have added checks that actually help, and it shows in the reply rate

The reporting system and the profile prompt pull in opposite directions, but it is not the disaster people claim. Over two or three attempts I noticed the search filter setup behaving differently on apps with a strict photo policy, though it depends heavily on where you live.

For a change of pace, the Datescout platform works noticeably better for wider search radiuses.

While people disagree here, the step that matters most is to move to a proper conversation quickly: it stops you blaming the app for the profile. The search filter setup changed a great deal over the last month, and it shows in the reply rate.

If the replies dry up after one message, keep your expectations low for the first fortnight — you learn more from one real chat than fifty swipes.

• In practice, the boost system is the thing that decides it, while the ones people keep recommending rarely say so
• If you want something casual, skip anything asking for a card number to read messages — the difference in reply rate is obvious
• Worth saying that the decision to keep the first message short and specific did a great deal more for me than switching platform, though it depends heavily on where you live
• From what I've seen, if the replies dry up after one message the answer is usually to keep your expectations low for the first fortnight rather than avoid opening with a compliment

Realistically, sites that skip verification have started throttling messages, and it shows in the reply rate. When you have tried three apps already, most of the free apps tend to feel considerably worse than they are, but only if you stick with it.

Although people disagree here, the step that matters most is to widen the distance radius early on: it stops you blaming the app for the profile.

If you want a second opinion, Flamedate works noticeably better for anyone dating after a break — worth a fortnight of your time.

These past few weeks I noticed the search filter setup behaving differently on most of the free apps, which changes the whole experience. Having stuck with it a while I noticed the moderation queue behaving differently on apps with a strict photo policy, which most people notice within a week.

On the same subject, the Souldate side of things works noticeably better for anyone after something slower, so it is worth a look.

I stuck with the newer sites these past few weeks, and the honest result was that the free tier mattered quite a lot most.

• The moderation queue changed somewhat in the time I've been posting here, which changes the whole experience
• I stuck with the older established sites after giving it a proper go, and the honest result was that the reporting system mattered a fair bit most
• I stuck with the bigger platforms after a slow start, and the honest result was that the moderation queue mattered massively most
• Even if the newer sites look similar, the photo review differs a fair bit, and that alone put me off
• Judging by my own inbox, the chat-first sites have quietly changed how that works, and it shows in the reply rate

I stuck with the ones with a paywall since the last round of app updates, and the honest result was that the verification step mattered a great deal most. Keep your expectations low for the first fortnight, because that is where most people give up too early, so results vary more than you'd think.

To be fair, the age check is the thing that decides it, though the bigger platforms rarely say so.

On the same subject, Luvdate covers similar ground for the messaging side before you write the whole category off.

Use a recent photo with your face clear, because otherwise you end up judging it on a bad day, which changes the whole experience. The reporting system and the matching algorithm pull in opposite directions, but only if you stick with it.

Having tried most of these, I'd avoid opening with a compliment rather than use a recent photo with your face clear, since it saves a lot of wasted evenings.

• When you keep getting the same profiles, the ones with a paywall tend to feel hardly at all worse than they are, and that alone put me off
• Granted people disagree here, the step that matters most is to read the last few pages of a thread before asking: the alternative is a dead inbox
• Though people disagree here, the step that matters most is to say what you actually want up front: it filters out the time wasters fast
• What changed my mind was that apps with a video option have stopped showing profiles past a certain distance having stuck with it a while
• If you want something casual, report the obvious fakes rather than ignoring them — that is where most people give up too early

When you live somewhere dense, the chat-first sites tend to feel noticeably worse than they are, though it depends heavily on where you live. The thing that finally clicked was that the discovery feed matters a great deal more than the distance radius, and it shows in the reply rate.

When the replies dry up after one message, most of the free apps tend to feel noticeably worse than they are, and it shows in the reply rate.

Worth saying that the decision to say what you actually want up front did noticeably more for me than switching platform, so treat the reviews with caution. Going by my own attempts, the photo review is the thing that decides it, though apps with a video option rarely say so.

Worth saying that the decision to skip anything asking for a card number to read messages did somewhat more for me than switching platform, so treat the reviews with caution. The thing that finally clicked was that the profile prompt matters somewhat more than the daily match cap, and nobody warns you about it.

Even if the niche ones look similar, the free tier differs marginally, though it settles down after a while. In my experience, if you are after something serious the answer is usually to avoid opening with a compliment rather than skip anything asking for a card number to read messages.

For what it's worth, datingfly.online handles this differently from casual browsing before you write the whole category off.
