About this member

Realistically, apps with a strict photo policy have moved the useful bits behind a subscription, which changes the whole experience. Judging by my own inbox, I'd keep the first message short and specific rather than widen the distance radius early on, since otherwise you end up judging it on a bad day. From what I've seen, the chat-first sites have cleaned up the fake accounts a little, so treat the reviews with caution. The free tier and the verification step pull in opposite directions, so results vary more than you'd think. Being blunt about it, if you are new to this the answer is usually to widen the distance radius early on rather than give it a full week before judging.

Worth saying that the decision to check the free tier limits before you commit did somewhat more for me than switching platform, which explains a lot of the complaints here. Despite the fact that people disagree here, the step that matters most is to read the last few pages of a thread before asking: the difference in reply rate is obvious. The distance radius and the block list pull in opposite directions, but it is not the disaster people claim. From what I've seen, if you want something casual the answer is usually to use a recent photo with your face clear rather than keep the first message short and specific. My advice would be to keep your expectations low for the first fortnight and then check the free tier limits before you commit, but it is not the disaster people claim.

What Noah Williams tends to post about

The verification step and the boost system pull in opposite directions, though it settles down after a while. Although people disagree here, the step that matters most is to use a recent photo with your face clear: it stops you blaming the app for the profile. The verification step changed quite a lot in the time I've been posting here, and it makes a real difference. Honestly, I'd check the free tier limits before you commit rather than keep the first message short and specific, since that is where most people give up too early.
