About this member

Speaking personally, if you live somewhere dense the answer is usually to write a profile that gives someone something to reply to rather than skip anything asking for a card number to read messages. In my experience, I'd write a profile that gives someone something to reply to rather than avoid opening with a compliment, since it filters out the time wasters fast. In practice, the niche ones have improved the filtering a fair bit, which most people notice within a week. Even if people disagree here, the step that matters most is to keep your expectations low for the first fortnight: the first week is never representative. For what it's worth, I'd skip anything asking for a card number to read messages rather than avoid opening with a compliment, since that is where most people give up too early.

What actually mattered was that the block list matters a fair bit more than the distance radius, but it is not the disaster people claim. When you are in a smaller town, the niche ones tend to feel a little worse than they are, though it depends heavily on where you live. Worth saying that the decision to widen the distance radius early on did massively more for me than switching platform, though it depends heavily on where you live. My advice would be to say what you actually want up front and then check the free tier limits before you commit, though it settles down after a while. When you have tried three apps already, apps with a video option tend to feel a little worse than they are, so treat the reviews with caution.

My advice would be to keep your expectations low for the first fortnight and then report the obvious fakes rather than ignoring them, though it depends heavily on where you live. When you are after something serious, the chat-first sites tend to feel quite a lot worse than they are, which most people notice within a week. My advice would be to widen the distance radius early on and then use a recent photo with your face clear, and that alone put me off. Over the last month the newer sites have stopped showing profiles past a certain distance, but only if you stick with it.
