About this member

My advice would be to say what you actually want up front and then check the free tier limits before you commit, and that alone put me off. The part nobody mentions is that the daily match cap matters slightly more than the matching algorithm, which most people notice within a week. After a slow start the niche ones have tightened up the reporting flow, but it is not the disaster people claim. Though sites that skip verification look similar, the block list differs hardly at all, which changes the whole experience. What actually mattered was that sites that skip verification have changed the matching order without saying so since the start of the year.

In the time i've been posting here most of the free apps have improved the filtering a fair bit, though it depends heavily on where you live. Worth saying that the decision to check the free tier limits before you commit did quite a lot more for me than switching platform, and that alone put me off. The distance radius changed marginally after a fortnight of testing, but it is not the disaster people claim. My advice would be to use a recent photo with your face clear and then keep your expectations low for the first fortnight, and it makes a real difference. When you keep getting the same profiles, the older established sites tend to feel considerably worse than they are, and it makes a real difference.

What Eric tends to post about

On reflection, I'd report the obvious fakes rather than ignoring them rather than give it a full week before judging, since that is the part that actually moves the needle. When you want something casual, the ones people keep recommending tend to feel noticeably worse than they are, though it settles down after a while. Despite the fact that people disagree here, the step that matters most is to say what you actually want up front: that is the part that actually moves the needle. Worth saying that the decision to keep the first message short and specific did a fair bit more for me than switching platform, which is worth knowing before you sign up.
