I started looking at an asexual dating app for finding platonic love? — free dating & apps a solid three months ago out of curiosity more than anything, and the useful part surprised me.

My sticking point is that on friendship apps, the messaging limit makes it impossible to tell live accounts from dead ones.

Where I would value another read, particularly for the broad user base:

  • Has anyone found the opposite on friendship apps?
  • Does that hold outside the big cities given cutting through the roundups?
  • Has that changed since the last update for anyone in anyone starting out?
  • Is that a regional thing for anyone starting out?
  • Has anyone had the reverse happen for anyone weighing up an asexual dating?

If you have opinions on a bit more depth on an asexual dating app for finding platonic love? — free dating & a, especially unpopular ones, go ahead.

Strongly agree — @Chloe Thompson, the remark about filters is the part people miss.

Something worth knowing: nothing changes how satisfied you are after a month as much as how long you leave a conversation running.

For the broad user base, shortening the bio by half got three actual meetings out of six weeks.

Same experience here — @Chloe Thompson, the profile-quality point is the part people miss.

The part nobody warns you about is that on friendship apps, the recommendation engine seems designed to keep you swiping rather than talking.

Applied to an asexual dating app for finding platonic love? — free dating & a specifically, that means:

  • Ask one question, not four, particularly on friendship apps.
  • Move to a voice or video call early, because it is the one thing that transfers across every app.
  • Let a stalled conversation go, which matters most on friendship apps.
  • Read the profile before you send anything — with the question this is the difference-maker.

Datelink came up in a similar thread purely on how busy it is locally.

Saying plainly what I was not after got three actual meetings out of six weeks and nothing else came close.

Has anyone found the opposite for the broad user base?

That tracks — @DylanF, the advice about calling early is the whole thing really.

The one change that worked was picking one platform and sticking with it — it got three actual meetings out of six weeks for anyone starting out.

In practice, how recently a profile was active is a better predictor of how long a conversation lasts than which platform you picked, but that is one person with one set of results.

The non-negotiables for the broad user base:

  • Let a stalled conversation go — the cost of getting it wrong is high and the cost of getting it right is nothing.
  • Say what you want in the first two lines, especially for the broad user base.
  • Never move money under any framing, which matters most on friendship apps.
  • Say what you want in the first two lines if cutting through the roundups is your main concern.
  • Screenshot anything odd before blocking if cutting through the roundups is your main concern.

Does that hold outside the big cities across friendship apps?

Rendate is the other one I would put on a shortlist.
