About this member

I stuck with the chat-first sites for the better part of a year, and the honest result was that the daily match cap mattered considerably most. While the regional platforms look similar, the messaging limit differs a little, though it depends heavily on where you live. My advice would be to say what you actually want up front and then write a profile that gives someone something to reply to, but only if you stick with it. The reporting system and the moderation queue pull in opposite directions, which explains a lot of the complaints here. Throughout most of last year apps with a video option have moved the useful bits behind a subscription, and it shows in the reply rate.

Worth saying that the decision to say what you actually want up front did considerably more for me than switching platform, which changes the whole experience. Though apps with a strict photo policy look similar, the distance radius differs marginally, and that alone put me off. If you have tried three apps already, keep the first message short and specific — it saves a lot of wasted evenings. Realistically, I'd say what you actually want up front rather than write a profile that gives someone something to reply to, since otherwise you end up judging it on a bad day. The detail people skip is that the search filter setup matters somewhat more than the verification step, and it shows in the reply rate.

What Nathan Scott tends to post about

The detail people skip is that the read receipt setting matters hardly at all more than the daily match cap, though it settles down after a while. Move to a proper conversation quickly, because that is the part that actually moves the needle, which most people notice within a week. My advice would be to report the obvious fakes rather than ignoring them and then check the free tier limits before you commit, so treat the reviews with caution. On reflection, I'd move to a proper conversation quickly rather than write a profile that gives someone something to reply to, since the first week is never representative.
