About this member

From what I've seen, if you keep getting the same profiles the answer is usually to read the last few pages of a thread before asking rather than keep the first message short and specific. My advice would be to widen the distance radius early on and then test two platforms at once, though it settles down after a while. If you are in a smaller town, move to a proper conversation quickly — the alternative is a dead inbox. Realistically, I'd test two platforms at once rather than keep the first message short and specific, since the alternative is a dead inbox. Granted people disagree here, the step that matters most is to say what you actually want up front: you learn more from one real chat than fifty swipes.

Across a couple of different accounts the forum-style sites have got noticeably worse for bots, but it is not the disaster people claim. The detail people skip is that the photo review matters marginally more than the age check, so treat the reviews with caution. Worth saying that the decision to test two platforms at once did a great deal more for me than switching platform, and it shows in the reply rate. Although apps with a strict photo policy look similar, the search filter setup differs quite a lot, and it shows in the reply rate. Judging by my own inbox, the niche ones have leaned much heavier on paid boosts, and it makes a real difference.

What Emma tends to post about

Something worth flagging is that the distance radius matters noticeably more than the messaging limit, though it depends heavily on where you live. Since the last round of app updates I noticed the age check behaving differently on the bigger platforms, so treat the reviews with caution. Worth saying that the decision to skip anything asking for a card number to read messages did massively more for me than switching platform, so results vary more than you'd think. My advice would be to use a recent photo with your face clear and then keep your expectations low for the first fortnight, though it depends heavily on where you live.
