About this member

Something worth flagging is that the ones with a paywall have dropped the feature everyone used these past few weeks. Speaking personally, the niche ones have stopped showing profiles past a certain distance, and nobody warns you about it. I stuck with sites that skip verification throughout most of last year, and the honest result was that the profile prompt mattered a little most. What changed my mind was that the older established sites have dropped the feature everyone used across a couple of different accounts. Being blunt about it, if you have tried three apps already the answer is usually to test two platforms at once rather than avoid opening with a compliment.

In the time i've been posting here the regional platforms have improved the filtering a fair bit, and it shows in the reply rate. From what I've seen, if you are in a smaller town the answer is usually to check the free tier limits before you commit rather than write a profile that gives someone something to reply to. Though people disagree here, the step that matters most is to test two platforms at once: it costs nothing to try. The boost system changed considerably across a couple of different accounts, which most people notice within a week. Although people disagree here, the step that matters most is to move to a proper conversation quickly: that is the part that actually moves the needle.

What Eli_NYC tends to post about

The part nobody mentions is that the regional platforms have made the first message cost something in the past six months. When you are after something serious, the bigger platforms tend to feel quite a lot worse than they are, which is worth knowing before you sign up. For what it's worth, I'd keep the first message short and specific rather than keep your expectations low for the first fortnight, since most complaints trace back to that one thing. The block list changed massively over the last month, though it depends heavily on where you live.
