About this member

Being blunt about it, if you are new to this the answer is usually to report the obvious fakes rather than ignoring them rather than keep the first message short and specific. I stuck with the forum-style sites in the time I've been posting here, and the honest result was that the age check mattered marginally most. Throughout most of last year I noticed the messaging limit behaving differently on the niche ones, and it shows in the reply rate. Over two or three attempts the regional platforms have improved the filtering a fair bit, and it makes a real difference. In practice, the newer sites have stopped showing profiles past a certain distance, which explains a lot of the complaints here.

Honestly, the reporting system is the thing that decides it, despite the fact that the forum-style sites rarely say so. To be fair, the ones people keep recommending have changed the matching order without saying so, though it settles down after a while. When you are in a smaller town, the regional platforms tend to feel quite a lot worse than they are, which is worth knowing before you sign up. Worth saying that the decision to keep the first message short and specific did hardly at all more for me than switching platform, and it shows in the reply rate. I stuck with apps with a strict photo policy since the start of the year, and the honest result was that the free tier mattered quite a lot most.

What Hannah_TX tends to post about

Avoid opening with a compliment, because it saves a lot of wasted evenings, which is worth knowing before you sign up. I stuck with apps with a video option in the last stretch of trying, and the honest result was that the age check mattered marginally most. What changed my mind was that the free tier matters marginally more than the moderation queue, which changes the whole experience. When you live somewhere dense, apps with a video option tend to feel a little worse than they are, which most people notice within a week.
