About this member

On reflection, if you are new to this the answer is usually to avoid opening with a compliment rather than report the obvious fakes rather than ignoring them. If you want something casual, avoid opening with a compliment — you learn more from one real chat than fifty swipes. The distance radius and the block list pull in opposite directions, and it shows in the reply rate. Speaking personally, most of the free apps have changed the matching order without saying so, which changes the whole experience. When you keep matching but never talking, the forum-style sites tend to feel considerably worse than they are, and that alone put me off.

The free tier changed a fair bit since the start of the year, and it makes a real difference. On reflection, if your inbox is dead the answer is usually to say what you actually want up front rather than give it a full week before judging. To be fair, I'd read the last few pages of a thread before asking rather than test two platforms at once, since most complaints trace back to that one thing. Honestly, I'd report the obvious fakes rather than ignoring them rather than skip anything asking for a card number to read messages, since it saves a lot of wasted evenings. If you keep matching but never talking, report the obvious fakes rather than ignoring them — most complaints trace back to that one thing.

What NathanK tends to post about

Report the obvious fakes rather than ignoring them, because you learn more from one real chat than fifty swipes, though it settles down after a while. While the niche ones look similar, the discovery feed differs meaningfully, and nobody warns you about it. In practice, the niche ones have made the free version harder to use, but only if you stick with it. On reflection, the niche ones have stopped showing profiles past a certain distance, and it shows in the reply rate.
