Has anyone here actually met someone on the bako dating site?

on and off for a year in, out of curiosity more than anything, and a couple of things stood out.

What actually frustrates me is that the reporting tool seems designed to keep you swiping rather than talking, especially once narrowing the options comes into it.

Specifically, on here actually met someone on the bako dating site? — free dating & in practice, what I would like input on:

• Does that change much when you factor in that side of it?
• Is that still true with genuinely free apps?
• Is there a way to check before signing up for anyone weighing up this?
• Has anyone had the reverse happen across genuinely free apps?

Any recent, first-hand input on here actually met someone on the bako dating site? — free dating & app appreciated.

Asking one real question instead of four got three actual meetings out of six weeks.

For what it is worth, the quality of your first message explains more of how many replies you get in a week than the feature list ever did, but that was months ago and things move.

The pattern I keep seeing is that on genuinely free apps, the quality of your first message matters more than the marketing on the homepage.

Has anyone got numbers rather than impressions for the broad user base?

When narrowing the options is the issue, the willingness to suggest meeting early outweighs the feature list.

My sticking point is that for the broad user base, the match queue throttles how many people can actually see you.

Adding Datebound to the pile — no paywall on the basics.

Picking one platform and sticking with it stopped the conversations dying at day two and nothing else came close.

Different result on my end. @Jackson Thomas, the timing observation backfired when I tried it.

On balance, on genuinely free apps, whether the photos look like the same person predicts how satisfied you're after a month better than how long you have had the account, but that was months ago and things move.

For a straight comparison, try Datescout as well.

The one change that worked was deleting everything and starting over — it stopped the conversations dying at day two for the typical user.

For what it is worth, on genuinely free apps, the quality of your first message outweighs which tier you're on for the broad user base.

Would that apply in a smaller town when you factor in here actually met?
