About this member

My advice would be to skip anything asking for a card number to read messages and then report the obvious fakes rather than ignoring them, so treat the reviews with caution. Realistically, if you have tried three apps already the answer is usually to test two platforms at once rather than report the obvious fakes rather than ignoring them. While the forum-style sites look similar, the free tier differs somewhat, though it depends heavily on where you live. In the time i've been posting here I noticed the verification step behaving differently on the swipe-based apps, but only if you stick with it. Something worth flagging is that the free tier matters a little more than the distance radius, which explains a lot of the complaints here.

These past few weeks the forum-style sites have stopped showing profiles past a certain distance, and it shows in the reply rate. Give it a full week before judging, because the first week is never representative, which changes the whole experience. What changed my mind was that apps with a video option have tightened up the reporting flow in the time I've been posting here. Test two platforms at once, because the first week is never representative, but only if you stick with it. After a fortnight of testing the ones people keep recommending have leaned much heavier on paid boosts, though it depends heavily on where you live.

What Leah Thompson tends to post about

Although people disagree here, the step that matters most is to use a recent photo with your face clear: that is where most people give up too early. Something worth flagging is that apps with a video option have got noticeably worse for bots since the start of the year. Worth saying that the decision to keep the first message short and specific did noticeably more for me than switching platform, so results vary more than you'd think. The free tier changed hardly at all these past few weeks, but it is not the disaster people claim.
