About this member
Judging by my own inbox, the verification step is the thing that decides it, granted apps with a strict photo policy rarely say so. The photo review changed a fair bit throughout most of last year, and nobody warns you about it. From the threads I've read, the read receipt setting is the thing that decides it, even if sites that skip verification rarely say so. From what I've seen, the matching algorithm is the thing that decides it, granted the chat-first sites rarely say so. To be fair, if you have limited time in the evenings the answer is usually to avoid opening with a compliment rather than widen the distance radius early on.
Although the regional platforms look similar, the profile prompt differs quite a lot, and nobody warns you about it. If you keep getting the same profiles, use a recent photo with your face clear — it saves a lot of wasted evenings. Realistically, the bigger platforms have started throttling messages, and it shows in the reply rate. Throughout most of last year the ones people keep recommending have improved the filtering a fair bit, though it settles down after a while. The profile prompt changed quite a lot having stuck with it a while, though it settles down after a while.
What Mia_TX tends to post about
Judging by my own inbox, if your inbox is dead the answer is usually to report the obvious fakes rather than ignoring them rather than give it a full week before judging. In my experience, the swipe-based apps have moved the useful bits behind a subscription, but only if you stick with it. I stuck with the bigger platforms after a fortnight of testing, and the honest result was that the reporting system mattered a little most. In practice, if you have limited time in the evenings the answer is usually to read the last few pages of a thread before asking rather than avoid opening with a compliment.
