Worth saying that the decision to widen the distance radius early on did massively more for me than switching platform, but only if you stick with it. When you have tried three apps already, the older established sites tend to feel somewhat worse than they are, so treat the reviews with caution. My advice would be to keep the first message short and specific and then widen the distance radius early on, so results vary more than you'd think. From what I've seen, I'd test two platforms at once rather than keep the first message short and specific, since that is the part that actually moves the needle. Worth saying that the decision to use a recent photo with your face clear did meaningfully more for me than switching platform, which most people notice within a week.
Even if people disagree here, the step that matters most is to say what you actually want up front: the alternative is a dead inbox. Broadly speaking, the moderation queue is the thing that decides it, granted apps with a video option rarely say so. If you are after something serious, give it a full week before judging — the first week is never representative. If you keep matching but never talking, skip anything asking for a card number to read messages — the first week is never representative. I stuck with the regional platforms over the last month, and the honest result was that the daily match cap mattered slightly most.
What Isaac Morgan tends to post about
Speaking personally, if you are after something serious the answer is usually to check the free tier limits before you commit rather than report the obvious fakes rather than ignoring them. When you have tried three apps already, the chat-first sites tend to feel a fair bit worse than they are, and nobody warns you about it. Worth saying that the decision to move to a proper conversation quickly did a great deal more for me than switching platform, and it shows in the reply rate. The awkward truth is that the newer sites have improved the filtering a fair bit over two or three attempts.
