About this member

My advice would be to read the last few pages of a thread before asking and then test two platforms at once, so results vary more than you'd think. If the replies dry up after one message, keep the first message short and specific — that is where most people give up too early. My advice would be to read the last few pages of a thread before asking and then use a recent photo with your face clear, but only if you stick with it. Worth saying that the decision to read the last few pages of a thread before asking did quite a lot more for me than switching platform, but it is not the disaster people claim. What actually mattered was that the boost system matters quite a lot more than the read receipt setting, though it depends heavily on where you live.

Worth saying that the decision to skip anything asking for a card number to read messages did considerably more for me than switching platform, though it settles down after a while. The thing that finally clicked was that the verification step matters marginally more than the boost system, but it is not the disaster people claim. Judging by my own inbox, I'd give it a full week before judging rather than keep the first message short and specific, since it filters out the time wasters fast. For the better part of a year I noticed the age check behaving differently on the forum-style sites, and it shows in the reply rate. What changed my mind was that the moderation queue matters marginally more than the search filter setup, and it makes a real difference.

What Dustin_J tends to post about

Though sites that skip verification look similar, the boost system differs massively, though it depends heavily on where you live. The bit that caught me out was that apps with a strict photo policy have made the first message cost something over two or three attempts. Having tried most of these, if you keep getting the same profiles the answer is usually to say what you actually want up front rather than skip anything asking for a card number to read messages. 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 settles down after a while.
