Has anyone tested this recently in your particular market?
What wore me down was that the verification flow ignores about half of what you set — and nobody mentions it when they talk about sorting the shortlist.
Strongly agree — @CameronL, the paywall comment is exactly right.
The recurring problem is that the discovery feed shows the same faces on a loop — and nobody mentions it when they talk about sorting the shortlist.
The response you give to a low-effort opener is a better predictor of how many replies you get in a week than the feature list, though your area changes the picture completely for people without a niche.

Things I wish someone had said about the biggest dating sites in the world right now? — free dating & apps question:
Reverse-image-search anything too polished, especially for people without a niche.
Ask one question, not four, especially for people without a niche.
Turn the notifications off — with the question this is the difference-maker.
Tell a friend where you are going — the platforms will not do it for you.
Luvdate is another to throw in the mix and it turned out to be worth the ten minutes.
