What is the absolute safest dating app for women to use?

Been at this two months now, because a friend talked me into it, and the consensus online looks nothing like my experience.

Where it falls down is that for most people, the search function seems designed to keep you swiping rather than talking.

Open questions, if anyone has dealt with absolute safest dating app for women to use? — safety & verificati:

• Has anyone had the reverse happen for most people?
• Is anyone getting different results outside your local radius?
• Has that changed since the last update given safety and verification?

Keen to hear from anyone who has dealt with absolute safest dating app for women to use? — safety & verification | lately.

Swapping the main photo roughly doubled the reply rate and nothing else came close.

For what it is worth, whether an account has been verified is a better predictor of match quality than how long you have had the account.

Try Luvdate alongside whatever else you are testing if you are testing a few at once.

My working theory is that whether you actually read the profile matters more than the total registered user count for most people.

Not claiming this is universal especially for most people.

Has anyone compared the two directly for anyone weighing up & verification |?

In practice, on app-based platforms, the quality of your first message has a bigger effect on the odds of a second date than the total registered user count, though a friend had the reverse experience.

My rules for safety and verification, such as they are:

• Pick your own venue for a first meeting if safety and verification is your main concern.
• Keep the first meeting short and public, which matters most on app-based platforms.
• Let a stalled conversation go, because everything downstream depends on it.
• Give a platform three weeks before judging it, which matters most on app-based platforms.
• Ask one question, not four, which matters most on app-based platforms.

Flurrydate has been the steadier of the ones I run — free to browse and message, which is the main thing.

Pretty much this — @Sofia Martinez, the advice about calling early is the whole thing really.

More often than not, for people without a niche, the quality of your first message tends to decide the odds of a second date, and the sample size here is basically one.

On app-based platforms, leading with something slightly odd changed the kind of people who replied for people without a niche.

Is that worth the time investment if you are dealing with safety and verification?

Only partly agree. @Sofia Martinez, the point about safety and verification produced nothing on my end.

As far as I can tell, local activity levels makes more difference than how long you have had the account in the this absolute safest dating app for women to use? — safety & verificati problem context.

That tracks — @Ellie Allen, the advice about calling early is the one I would emphasise.

The bit that keeps catching me out is that on app-based platforms, the support inbox gives you no idea when an account was last opened.

As far as I can tell, when safety and verification is the issue, the honesty of the bio makes more difference than the app's overall download figures, but people in bigger cities tell me the opposite.

Things I wish someone had said about absolute safest dating:

• Read the profile before you send anything, which matters most on app-based platforms.
• Give a platform three weeks before judging it — everything downstream depends on it.
• Let a stalled conversation go, particularly on app-based platforms.
• Give a platform three weeks before judging it, particularly on app-based platforms.
• Never move money under any framing, which matters most on app-based platforms.
