From my side, a bad week is a bad week, not evidence about the platform — happy to be argued with on that one. If you want marriage, what is the best dating app for relationships? Nobody's experience generalises, including mine — that is the bit I would tell anyone signing up today.
From what I have seen, a month is about the minimum before judging any platform — your mileage may well differ.
If it helps, the ability to block without friction is the single best signal — it is the single change that made the most difference.
- From what I have seen, most matches go nowhere and that is normal rather than a failure — your mileage may well differ.
- Remembered that the people who post about success are a tiny sample, and I would do it again
- Early on I started to gave each platform a fair month before judging it, which mattered more than I expected
- It became automatic — I refreshed my photos every few weeks so I stayed visible in the feed
One thing I notice: a bad week is a bad week, not evidence about the platform — it is the single change that made the most difference.
