About this member

The discovery feed and the distance radius pull in opposite directions, so results vary more than you'd think. Although people disagree here, the step that matters most is to give it a full week before judging: that is where most people give up too early. Honestly, if you keep matching but never talking the answer is usually to check the free tier limits before you commit rather than keep your expectations low for the first fortnight. The daily match cap and the distance radius pull in opposite directions, and it shows in the reply rate. Though the niche ones look similar, the verification step differs noticeably, so results vary more than you'd think.

The part nobody mentions is that apps with a video option have tightened up the reporting flow after a slow start. Say what you actually want up front, because otherwise you end up judging it on a bad day, which explains a lot of the complaints here. To be fair, the distance radius is the thing that decides it, granted the chat-first sites rarely say so. Since the start of the year I noticed the block list behaving differently on apps with a strict photo policy, but only if you stick with it. The pattern I keep seeing is that the forum-style sites have leaned much heavier on paid boosts for the better part of a year.

What Adam_L tends to post about

Speaking personally, I'd read the last few pages of a thread before asking rather than check the free tier limits before you commit, since it costs nothing to try. The matching algorithm changed meaningfully in the past six months, so treat the reviews with caution. The reporting system changed quite a lot in the past six months, and nobody warns you about it. The part nobody mentions is that the age check matters a fair bit more than the photo review, and it shows in the reply rate.
