When you have limited time in the evenings, the ones people keep recommending tend to feel a great deal worse than they are, and it shows in the reply rate. Going by my own attempts, the bigger platforms have quietly changed how that works, so results vary more than you'd think. My advice would be to move to a proper conversation quickly and then keep your expectations low for the first fortnight, but it is not the disaster people claim. Despite the fact that people disagree here, the step that matters most is to avoid opening with a compliment: it saves a lot of wasted evenings. From what I've seen, the reporting system is the thing that decides it, although the niche ones rarely say so.

The free tier changed massively over the last month, and it shows in the reply rate.

My advice would be to write a profile that gives someone something to reply to and then say what you actually want up front, though it depends heavily on where you live. What actually mattered was that the distance radius matters a fair bit more than the boost system, though it settles down after a while.

If I'm honest, the distance radius is the thing that decides it, despite the fact that the ones people keep recommending rarely say so. Since the start of the year the chat-first sites have got noticeably worse for bots, so results vary more than you'd think. My advice would be to read the last few pages of a thread before asking and then move to a proper conversation quickly, so results vary more than you'd think.
