About this member

The part nobody mentions is that the swipe-based apps have cleaned up the fake accounts a little after giving it a proper go. Going by my own attempts, the matching algorithm is the thing that decides it, though the bigger platforms rarely say so. Though the newer sites look similar, the free tier differs noticeably, which explains a lot of the complaints here. Being blunt about it, I'd read the last few pages of a thread before asking rather than keep your expectations low for the first fortnight, since the alternative is a dead inbox. My advice would be to use a recent photo with your face clear and then give it a full week before judging, which changes the whole experience.

Although people disagree here, the step that matters most is to test two platforms at once: you learn more from one real chat than fifty swipes. My advice would be to skip anything asking for a card number to read messages and then check the free tier limits before you commit, which most people notice within a week. Despite the fact that people disagree here, the step that matters most is to check the free tier limits before you commit: otherwise you end up judging it on a bad day. The bit that caught me out was that the block list matters slightly more than the profile prompt, and that alone put me off. Test two platforms at once, because the first week is never representative, and it makes a real difference.

What NancyR tends to post about

Worth saying that the decision to skip anything asking for a card number to read messages did somewhat more for me than switching platform, but only if you stick with it. Report the obvious fakes rather than ignoring them, because it filters out the time wasters fast, which is worth knowing before you sign up. Speaking personally, the search filter setup is the thing that decides it, granted the regional platforms rarely say so. The detail people skip is that the bigger platforms have dropped the feature everyone used after a slow start.
