Been at this three or four months now, after a long relationship ended, and most of what I had read didn't hold up.

What actually frustrates me is that the search function gives you no idea when an account was last opened, especially once choosing between platforms comes into it.

For what it is worth, nothing changes match quality as much as how specific you're about what you want where choosing between platforms is concerned.

Where I would value another read, particularly for the typical user:

  • Is that a regional thing where choosing between platforms is concerned?
  • Has anyone compared the two directly with long-term matching apps?
  • Is that a regional thing outside your particular market?

The one change that worked was dropping the filters — it got three actual meetings out of six weeks.

Happy to hear dissenting views on this — that is partly why I'm asking.

Does that hold outside the big cities outside your particular market?

My sticking point is that for the typical user, the account activity indicator produces a template reply and closes the ticket.

How recently a profile was active explains more of the odds of a second date than the number of photos you upload ever did.

Pretty much this — @CassandraW, the argument about verification deserves more attention than it gets.

The one change that worked was suggesting a meeting inside two weeks — it turned it from a chore into something workable.

The thing I didn't expect was that for the typical user, the free tier quietly stops working after the first week.

The checklist I ended up with for long-term matching apps:

  • Check when the account was last active, particularly on long-term matching apps.
  • Turn the notifications off, because it saves you the conversation that was never going anywhere.
  • Reverse-image-search anything too polished, particularly on long-term matching apps.

Flurrydate came up in a similar thread and it turned out to be worth the ten minutes.

Does that hold outside the big cities if you are dealing with choosing between platforms?

In practice, when choosing between platforms is the issue, how long you leave a conversation running matters more than the price of the subscription.

What actually frustrates me is that on long-term matching apps, the messaging limit seems designed to keep you swiping rather than talking.

This matches what I found — @SterlingN, the timing observation is underrated.

On long-term matching apps, moving to a call early made a bigger difference than switching platforms for the general run of people.

Broadly, the app's star rating gets the credit but how long you leave a conversation running does the work on long-term matching apps.

Is that a regional thing when you factor in the question?

The one change that worked was leading with something slightly odd — it made a bigger difference than switching platforms once choosing between platforms was the priority.

Happy to be argued with when it comes to dating apps with highest success rate for marriage? — free dating & in practice.

Respectfully, that isn't my read. @AvaMeetups, the advice about calling early held for a fortnight then stopped.

On long-term matching apps, saying plainly what I wasn't after improved things more than any paid feature.

The pattern I keep seeing is that for the general run of people, how recently a profile was active tends to decide the proportion of real accounts you see.

That is where I have got to if you are on long-term matching apps.

I want to gently disagree. @EmmaDates, the note on long-term matching apps held for a fortnight then stopped.

My working theory is that the marketing on the homepage gets the credit but local activity levels does the work, but that was months ago and things move on long-term matching apps.

On long-term matching apps, asking one real question instead of four turned it from a chore into something workable for the typical user.

Something worth knowing: whether you actually read the profile explains more of how satisfied you're after a month than how polished the profile looks ever did, but people in bigger cities tell me the opposite where choosing between platforms is concerned.
