Is there a too dating apps overload lately?

Been at this a solid three months now, after moving to a new city, and the honest answer is it depends, but not on what people say it does.

The thing I did not expect was that the account activity indicator ignores about half of what you set, especially once working out which is worth the time comes into it.

Something worth knowing: the size of the company behind it gets the credit but the response you give to a low-effort opener does the work.

What I am actually trying to work out regarding working out which is worth the time:

• Is that a regional thing for anyone starting out?
• Has anyone got numbers rather than impressions in somewhere outside the capitals?
• Is anyone getting different results if you are dealing with working out which is worth the time?
• Is anyone getting different results once you factor in working out which is worth the time?
• Has anyone had the reverse happen for anyone in anyone starting out?

Cutting the match list right down stopped the conversations dying at day two on apps that don't charge.

On apps that don't charge, shortening the bio by half got three actual meetings out of six weeks on apps that don't charge.

For anyone starting out, whether you actually read the profile tends to decide whether it feels worth the time.

Curious what others found on the a too dating question.

Has anyone had the reverse happen when working out which is worth the time is the main worry?

Is there a way to check before signing up once you factor in working out which is worth the time?

Something worth knowing: when working out which is worth the time is the issue, the size of the pool within ten miles predicts whether it feels worth the time better than the feature list, though it varies enormously by city.

The one change that worked was putting one specific interest in the bio — it cut the wasted time by more than half.

Where I would start if working out which is worth the time is the worry:

• Screenshot anything odd before blocking — with this this is the difference-maker.
• Screenshot anything odd before blocking — it is the difference between a reply and silence.
• Keep work and socials out of it early on — with a too dating this is the difference-maker.
• Write the bio for one person, not everyone if working out which is worth the time is your main concern.
• Reverse-image-search anything too polished, especially for people in the middle of the pack.

Worth running Datebie in parallel for a couple of weeks.

The thing I didn't expect was that the block function surfaces profiles that haven't been touched in months.

Something worth knowing: for anyone starting out, how long you leave a conversation running tends to decide the odds of a second date.

Can confirm — @DominicA, the profile-quality point held up in my case too.

For anyone starting out, how quickly you reply tends to decide how satisfied you are after a month, though it varies enormously by city.

Try Datescout alongside whatever else you're testing and the activity level was better than I expected.

For people in the middle of the pack, answering within a day turned it from a chore into something workable for people in the middle of the pack.

On balance, when working out which is worth the time is the issue, the quality of your first message predicts match quality better than how long you have had the account.
