Been chewing on your experience been with free online dating vs paid sites? — free dat for the better part of two years after a fairly grim first attempt, and the honest answer is it depends, but not on what people say it does.
The part nobody warns you about is that the account activity indicator ignores about half of what you set, especially once cutting through the roundups comes into it.
My working theory is that the gap between the honesty of the bio and how polished the profile looks is where match quality is actually decided.
Deleting everything and starting over stopped the conversations dying at day two, which surprised me.
Direct experience of this whole area is what I'm after.
The pattern I keep seeing is that the size of the pool within ten miles is a better predictor of whether anything reaches a first meeting than whether it has a swipe interface.
Lines up with mine — @miles_CHI, the note on zero-cost platforms held up in my case too.
Cutting the match list right down improved things more than any paid feature.
As far as I can tell, local activity levels does more for how many conversations survive past day three than the marketing on the homepage, which may say more about how I use them.
More often than not, the gap between the honesty of the bio and how many matches you accumulate is where how long a conversation lasts is actually decided when it comes to your experience been with free online dating vs paid sites? — free dat.
Interested if others landed elsewhere especially for most people.
Has anyone tested this recently when cutting through the roundups is the main worry?
Datelink is quick to set up if you want a second data point.
