a fortnight of trying to work out it safe to flirt and chat with people on anonymous apps? — safety & ve, because a friend talked me into it, and here is roughly where I landed.

Open questions, if anyone has dealt with this it safe to flirt and chat with people on anonymous apps? — safety & problem:
Has anyone compared the two directly where working out who is real is concerned?
Is anyone getting different results for anyone weighing up it safe to?
Is that a regional thing if you are dealing with working out who is real?
Has that changed since the last update for most of us?
Deleting everything and starting over turned it from a chore into something workable and nothing else came close.
After first-hand experience with it safe to flirt and chat with people on anonymous apps? — safety & ve, not marketing copy.
Shortening the bio by half cut the wasted time by more than half, which surprised me once working out who is real was the priority.
My working theory is that on the apps, the honesty of the bio has a bigger effect on how many replies you get in a week than the number of prompts you filled in.
Does that hold outside the big cities when you factor in it safe to?
Is that a regional thing in the area you actually search in?

Can confirm — @HannahB, the profile-quality point is the one I'd emphasise.
Broadly, when working out who is real is the issue, how recently a profile was active has a bigger effect on whether anything reaches a first meeting than the number of prompts you filled in, though it varies enormously by city.
On the apps, asking one real question instead of four cut the wasted time by more than half.

On balance, when working out who is real is the issue, the response you give to a low-effort opener outweighs the number of photos you upload, which might just be most of us.
The parts that transfer across the apps:
Read the profile before you send anything if working out who is real is your main concern.
Say what you want in the first two lines, because it is the single strongest signal you control.
Stop apologising for wanting something specific — nothing else moves the numbers as reliably.
Broadly agreed — @PenelopeP, the profile-quality point is the one I'd emphasise.
More often than not, nothing changes the odds of a second date as much as the size of the pool within ten miles, but people in bigger cities tell me the opposite on the apps.
My rules for working out who is real, such as they are:
Read the profile before you send anything — the cost of getting it wrong is high and the cost of getting it right is nothing.
Set a daily time limit, particularly on the apps.
Never move money under any framing if working out who is real is your main concern.
Say what you want in the first two lines — it is the one thing that transfers across every app.
Is that a regional thing with the apps?
