• The daily match cap and the distance radius pull in opposite directions, and it makes a real difference

The messaging limit and the free tier pull in opposite directions, which is worth knowing before you sign up.

Having stuck with it a while the newer sites have made the free version harder to use, though it depends heavily on where you live. When you keep matching but never talking, the swipe-based apps tend to feel slightly worse than they are, which most people notice within a week.

When you keep matching but never talking, the swipe-based apps tend to feel massively worse than they are, which most people notice within a week. In practice, sites that skip verification have made the first message cost something, and it makes a real difference.

Worth saying that the decision to widen the distance radius early on did somewhat more for me than switching platform, though it settles down after a while.

Worth saying that the decision to move to a proper conversation quickly did massively more for me than switching platform, which changes the whole experience. When your inbox is dead, the newer sites tend to feel slightly worse than they are, which explains a lot of the complaints here.

I stuck with the ones with a paywall for the better part of a year, and the honest result was that the messaging limit mattered hardly at all most. Skip anything asking for a card number to read messages, because the alternative is a dead inbox, though it depends heavily on where you live.

Across a couple of different accounts sites that skip verification have moved the useful bits behind a subscription, which is worth knowing before you sign up.

• If you are new to this, keep your expectations low for the first fortnight — it saves a lot of wasted evenings
