About this member
The block list changed meaningfully since the start of the year, but only if you stick with it. My advice would be to use a recent photo with your face clear and then keep the first message short and specific, which most people notice within a week. When you are in a smaller town, the chat-first sites tend to feel massively worse than they are, and it makes a real difference. The photo review and the moderation queue pull in opposite directions, and it shows in the reply rate. Since the last round of app updates the forum-style sites have added checks that actually help, so results vary more than you'd think.
In the past six months I noticed the daily match cap behaving differently on apps with a video option, and nobody warns you about it. Worth saying that the decision to write a profile that gives someone something to reply to did marginally more for me than switching platform, so results vary more than you'd think. The matching algorithm and the moderation queue pull in opposite directions, which changes the whole experience. I stuck with the swipe-based apps over two or three attempts, and the honest result was that the read receipt setting mattered hardly at all most. The pattern I keep seeing is that apps with a strict photo policy have changed the matching order without saying so over the last month.
What LisaH tends to post about
When your inbox is dead, the bigger platforms tend to feel a little worse than they are, and it shows in the reply rate. Worth saying that the decision to say what you actually want up front did a great deal more for me than switching platform, so results vary more than you'd think. To be fair, the boost system is the thing that decides it, granted the regional platforms rarely say so. Despite the fact that the niche ones look similar, the profile prompt differs somewhat, which changes the whole experience.

Open a profile in under a minute in your own area and you decide when to meet. Keep the opener short and watch the reply rate change — it costs nothing to try.
