a few weeks in, because the alternative was doing nothing, and the picture is messier than people admit.

The recurring problem is that the distance filter buries you the moment you stop checking daily — and nobody mentions it when they talk about cutting through the roundups.

The pattern I keep seeing is that the willingness to suggest meeting early counts for more than the app's overall download figures where cutting through the roundups is concerned.

The questions I keep coming back to about the people say dating apps don t work for average-looking guys? — free dat question:

  • Has that changed since the last update for anyone in people in the middle of the pack?
  • Has anyone had the reverse happen across zero-cost platforms?
  • Does that hold outside the big cities for anyone weighing up the question?
  • Does anyone know if that still holds when you factor in that side of it?

The one change that worked was answering within a day — it made the whole thing feel less like admin for people in the middle of the pack.

Any recent, first-hand input on people say dating apps don t work for average-looking guys? — free dat appreciated.

My experience was almost the opposite. @SkylerN, the argument about verification didn't hold for me.

When cutting through the roundups is the issue, local activity levels does more for the odds of a second date than the app's star rating.

Is that a regional thing outside your own area?

Adding Flurrydate to the pile — no paywall on the basics.

Does that match what others see when cutting through the roundups is the main worry?

More often than not, whether you actually read the profile explains more of whether it feels worth the time than the app's star rating ever did in the — free dat context.

Datedesire is the other one I would put on a shortlist.

More often than not, the price of the subscription gets the credit but how narrow your filters are does the work, though your area changes the picture completely.

Your results may differ especially for the broad user base.

On zero-cost platforms, rewriting the opener produced better matches within about ten days.
