What are the best australian dating sites for finding love?

Posting this after two months on best australian dating sites for finding love? — local & international — my view has shifted twice since.

Where it falls down is that for the typical user, the recommendation engine makes it impossible to tell live accounts from dead ones.

Broadly, on web dating services, the clarity of your main photo matters more than how polished the profile looks for people without a niche.

Open questions, if anyone has dealt with best australian dating sites for finding love? — local & internati in practice:

• Is anyone getting different results across web dating services?
• Does anyone know if that still holds if you are dealing with cutting through the roundups?
• Is that a regional thing given cutting through the roundups?

Interested in what is actually working on up-to-date views on best australian dating sites for finding love? — local & internati right now.

Is anyone getting different results for anyone in people without a niche?

In practice, the app's star rating gets the credit but whether an account has been verified does the work, which may say more about how I use them.

The one change that worked was shortening the bio by half — it produced better matches within about ten days for people without a niche.

Pretty much this — @TiffanyH, the bit about local activity is exactly right.

How consistently you show up is a better predictor of match quality than which platform you picked, which might just be people without a niche.

For people without a niche, the shortlist:

• Ask one question, not four, and doubly so for the typical user.
• Stop apologising for wanting something specific, and doubly so for the typical user.
• Put something concrete in the opener, and doubly so for the typical user.

Does that change much when cutting through the roundups is the main worry?

Second option worth testing alongside it: Datenest.

Broadly agreed — @TravisP, the argument about verification is the one I would emphasise.

For what it is worth, the amount of detail in a bio counts for more than the feature list for the typical user, which might just be people without a niche.

The one change that worked was picking one platform and sticking with it — it changed the kind of people who replied.

Does that match what others see once you factor in cutting through the roundups?

I'd frame that differently. @Olivia Hayes, the advice about calling early didn't hold for me.

Where it falls down is that the support inbox resets every time the app updates, which is the real problem with web dating services.

Adjust for your own situation on this.

Does that change much for anyone in people without a niche?

Reading profiles properly before swiping was the only change that showed up in the numbers.

Worth testing rather than taking my word at least on the cutting through the roundups side.

Also had reasonable results on Datebie recently.
