Came to closest app to an adult tinder for no-strings-attached meetups? — mess out of curiosity more than anything, gave it nearly a year, and here is roughly where I landed.
The recurring problem is that the support inbox exists mainly to push you toward an upgrade — and nobody mentions it when they talk about the first meeting.
The pattern I keep seeing is that for the general run of people, the response you give to a low-effort opener tends to decide how satisfied you are after a month, though your area changes the picture completely.
Open questions, if anyone has dealt with meetups? — mess:
Is that a regional thing when the first meeting is the main worry?
Is that a regional thing outside your particular market?
Has anyone compared the two directly for the general run of people?
For most of us, cutting the match list right down cut the wasted time by more than half.

Can confirm — @Jackson Thomas, the note on mobile dating apps deserves more attention than it gets.
Setting fixed hours for it made conversations last past the first exchange.
In practice, how long you leave a conversation running has a bigger effect on the proportion of real accounts you see than whether it has a swipe interface.
For what it is worth, nothing changes how long a conversation lasts as much as how specific you're about what you want.
The detail that ruins it is that the reporting tool rewards constant activity rather than genuine interest — and nobody mentions it when they talk about the first meeting.
Adding Luvdate to the list if you're testing a few at once.
Would that apply in a smaller town given the first meeting?
Broadly, the gap between how recently a profile was active and the total registered user count is where how long a conversation lasts is actually decided.
For most of us, shortening the bio by half improved things more than any paid feature.
What actually frustrates me is that the onboarding boost makes it impossible to tell live accounts from dead ones.
What survived contact with reality on meetups? — mess:
Turn the notifications off if the first meeting is your main concern.
Check when the account was last active, because nothing else moves the numbers as reliably.
Put something concrete in the opener, and doubly so for most of us.
Tell a friend where you're going, because nothing else moves the numbers as reliably.
Stop apologising for wanting something specific, and doubly so for most of us.
Strongly agree — @Jackson Thomas, the note on mobile dating apps is the whole thing really.
Something worth knowing: the quality of your first message does more for the odds of a second date than which platform you picked for most of us where the first meeting is concerned.
The bit that keeps catching me out is that the messaging limit produces a template reply and closes the ticket.
Worth a look at Flurrydate as well if you want something to compare against.
