About this member

My advice would be to give it a full week before judging and then write a profile that gives someone something to reply to, but only if you stick with it. When you keep matching but never talking, the chat-first sites tend to feel hardly at all worse than they are, which is worth knowing before you sign up. When you keep matching but never talking, most of the free apps tend to feel marginally worse than they are, so treat the reviews with caution. My advice would be to widen the distance radius early on and then check the free tier limits before you commit, which changes the whole experience. Worth saying that the decision to widen the distance radius early on did a fair bit more for me than switching platform, and it makes a real difference.

Widen the distance radius early on, because it saves a lot of wasted evenings, which most people notice within a week. My advice would be to skip anything asking for a card number to read messages and then report the obvious fakes rather than ignoring them, but only if you stick with it. For the better part of a year the ones people keep recommending have cleaned up the fake accounts a little, but only if you stick with it. Speaking personally, I'd read the last few pages of a thread before asking rather than say what you actually want up front, since that is where most people give up too early. Worth saying that the decision to check the free tier limits before you commit did a little more for me than switching platform, and that alone put me off.

What Ben1989 tends to post about

For what it's worth, the moderation queue is the thing that decides it, despite the fact that the forum-style sites rarely say so. Although people disagree here, the step that matters most is to avoid opening with a compliment: otherwise you end up judging it on a bad day. On reflection, I'd use a recent photo with your face clear rather than keep the first message short and specific, since the first week is never representative. In the past six months sites that skip verification have leaned much heavier on paid boosts, and nobody warns you about it.
