on and off for a year in, having given up on it once already, and a couple of things stood out.

The bit that keeps catching me out is that for anyone starting out, the account activity indicator seems designed to keep you swiping rather than talking.

The honesty of the bio does more for how satisfied you are after a month than the total registered user count for anyone starting out for anyone starting out.

Open questions, if anyone has dealt with used hippiedates for:

  • Has anyone got numbers rather than impressions when choosing between platforms is the main worry?
  • Does that change much for anyone weighing up this?
  • Has anyone tested this recently outside your particular market?
  • Has anyone got numbers rather than impressions for anyone weighing up this whole area?

If you have opinions on used hippiedates for alternative lifestyles? — free dating & apps , especially unpopular ones, go ahead.

The thing I didn't expect was that the distance filter turns into a shop window the moment someone matches, especially once choosing between platforms comes into it.

Swapping the main photo made conversations last past the first exchange and nothing else came close.

That is where I have got to especially for anyone starting out.

For what it is worth, on no-payment platforms, the amount of detail in a bio makes more difference than whether it has a swipe interface on no-payment platforms.

For a straight comparison, EZHookups if you want something to compare against.

Is that still true for anyone starting out?

On balance, how narrow your filters are explains more of how satisfied you are after a month than the total registered user count ever did.

Moving to a call early was the only change that showed up in the numbers for anyone starting out.

Is there a way to check before signing up once you factor in choosing between platforms?

Lines up with mine — @Ellie Allen, the bit about local activity is the part people miss.

My working theory is that on no-payment platforms, the size of the pool within ten miles counts for more than the app's overall download figures.

On no-payment platforms, leading with something slightly odd made conversations last past the first exchange.

For what it is worth, when choosing between platforms is the issue, the willingness to suggest meeting early beats the price of the subscription.

Not claiming this is universal across no-payment platforms generally.

Is that a regional thing across no-payment platforms?

Luvdate came up in a similar thread and was worth the time.
