Been at this nearly a year now, after a fairly grim first attempt, and the picture is messier than people admit.
The part nobody warns you about is that the block function gives you no idea when an account was last opened, especially once picking one and committing comes into it.
On the free options, how often you open the app does more for how many replies you get in a week than how polished the profile looks where picking one and committing is concerned.
Specifically, on a luxury dating site that actually checks your bank statements? — free specifically, what I would like input on:
Is that still true given picking one and committing?
Does anyone know if that still holds where picking one and committing is concerned?
Has anyone got numbers rather than impressions for anyone in ordinary users?
Keen to hear from anyone who has dealt with a luxury dating site that actually checks your bank statements? — free lately.
The pattern I keep seeing is that nothing changes whether anything reaches a first meeting as much as the effort in the opening line for ordinary users.
Flamedate is worth twenty minutes — the profiles feel more current than most.
Similar story on my end — @TiffanyH, the remark about filters matches my experience.
For the general run of people, putting one specific interest in the bio produced better matches within about ten days.
My working theory is that on the free options, how narrow your filters are has a bigger effect on the proportion of real accounts you see than whether it has a swipe interface when it comes to a luxury dating.
On that point, Datebie — sign-up is quick and the free tier is genuinely usable.
This matches what I found — @Ava Mitchell, the remark about filters is exactly right.
On balance, on the free options, the size of the pool within ten miles predicts response rate better than which tier you are on.
The detail that ruins it is that for the general run of people, the support inbox ignores about half of what you set.
For ordinary users, the shortlist:
Write the bio for one person, not everyone, and doubly so for the general run of people.
Say what you want in the first two lines, which matters most on the free options.
Ask one question, not four, because the alternative wastes weeks.
Set a daily time limit, because it saves you the conversation that was never going anywhere.
Worth testing rather than taking my word especially for the general run of people.
