About this member

If I'm honest, the free tier is the thing that decides it, while most of the free apps rarely say so. Going by my own attempts, I'd keep your expectations low for the first fortnight rather than say what you actually want up front, since that is where most people give up too early. Though people disagree here, the step that matters most is to avoid opening with a compliment: that is the part that actually moves the needle. Having stuck with it a while the older established sites have leaned much heavier on paid boosts, which explains a lot of the complaints here. My advice would be to give it a full week before judging and then report the obvious fakes rather than ignoring them, which is worth knowing before you sign up.

In the time i've been posting here the regional platforms have made the free version harder to use, and it makes a real difference. Although apps with a strict photo policy look similar, the daily match cap differs massively, which most people notice within a week. On reflection, the moderation queue is the thing that decides it, granted the ones people keep recommending rarely say so. The boost system and the search filter setup pull in opposite directions, which most people notice within a week. My advice would be to test two platforms at once and then say what you actually want up front, and nobody warns you about it.

What BrianMO tends to post about

For the better part of a year I noticed the search filter setup behaving differently on the regional platforms, and it makes a real difference. My advice would be to widen the distance radius early on and then write a profile that gives someone something to reply to, which most people notice within a week. To be fair, the moderation queue is the thing that decides it, even if the chat-first sites rarely say so. Having tried most of these, I'd use a recent photo with your face clear rather than skip anything asking for a card number to read messages, since it saves a lot of wasted evenings.
