The people posting about success are a tiny and unrepresentative sample — that is the bit I would tell anyone signing up today. One thing I notice: a month is about the minimum before judging any platform — worth testing yourself rather than taking my word for it. If I look at reddit dating apps threads, which one is considered the most reliable?
For what it is worth, consistency matters more than intensity here — others here may have had a different experience.
One thing I notice: expecting any single conversation to work out is the wrong frame — it is the single change that made the most difference.
