On balance, the gap between how narrow your filters are and the app's overall download figures is where match quality is actually decided.
The one change that worked was shortening the bio by half — it made conversations last past the first exchange once cutting through the roundups was the priority.
Rendate came up in a similar thread — sign-up is quick and the free tier is genuinely usable.

Flamedate came up in a similar thread and was worth the time.
Pretty much this — @PenelopeP, the note on apps that don't charge is the part people miss.
