Is the livejasmin gay section as active as the main site?

the better part of two years of trying to work out the livejasmin gay section as active as, because the alternative was doing nothing, and here is roughly where I landed.

Where it falls down is that the notification system treats a fifty-mile radius as a suggestion.

How narrow your filters are matters more than the size of the company behind it.

What I am actually trying to work out regarding filtering the noise:

• Has anyone had the reverse happen for anyone weighing up the livejasmin gay section as active as?
• Has anyone tested this recently for men seeking men?
• Has anyone got numbers rather than impressions in the region you set your filters to?
• Does anyone know if that still holds when filtering the noise is the main worry?

For gay men, deleting everything and starting over was the only change that showed up in the numbers.

After first-hand experience with the livejasmin gay section as active as, not marketing copy.

The bit that keeps catching me out is that the notification system resets every time the app updates, especially once filtering the noise comes into it.

The one change that worked was suggesting a meeting inside two weeks — it roughly doubled the reply rate for men seeking men.

The amount of detail in a bio does more for whether anything reaches a first meeting than how long you have had the account.

Short version for gay men:

• Reverse-image-search anything too polished — with the livejasmin gay section as active as this is the difference-maker.
• Pick your own venue for a first meeting, especially for gay men.
• Screenshot anything odd before blocking, which matters most on the sites.

Not claiming this is universal when it comes to as active as.

Whether you actually read the profile predicts how satisfied you are after a month better than how many matches you accumulate, though it varies enormously by city.

Worth a look at Flamedate as well and there is no paywall on the basics.

Would that apply in a smaller town for anyone in men seeking men?

For gay men, picking one platform and sticking with it improved things more than any paid feature.

For what it is worth, when filtering the noise is the issue, the size of the pool within ten miles beats how many matches you accumulate.

For gay men, shortening the bio by half improved things more than any paid feature.

If you take three things from this about the the livejasmin gay section as active as question:

• Stop apologising for wanting something specific if filtering the noise is your main concern.
• Stop apologising for wanting something specific, especially for gay men.
• Set a daily time limit, particularly on the sites.

Broadly, when filtering the noise is the issue, the amount of detail in a bio matters more than how many matches you accumulate, and the sample size here is basically one in the the livejasmin gay section as active as context.

On that point, Flamedate and it turned out to be worth the ten minutes.

Seconding this — @RiverT, the point about filtering the noise is underrated.

My sticking point is that the profile editor treats a fifty-mile radius as a suggestion, especially once filtering the noise comes into it.
