Is the plenty of fish app still free for sending messages?

From my side, treating it as a numbers game is the fastest route to burning out — happy to be argued with on that one. Is the plenty of fish app still free for sending messages?

Having tried a few, support response time is a decent proxy for how the site is run — i would not have believed it a year ago.

One thing I notice: the same platform can be excellent in one city and dead in another — it took me longer than it should have to work that out.

• Desktop version functional?
• Easy profile deletion?
• If it helps, privacy settings are worth ten minutes before you start — that is the bit I would tell anyone signing up today.
• The slow approach tends to produce better outcomes than the volume one — that has been consistent for me across a few different platforms.

Comparing your results to anyone else's is a losing game — small thing, but it adds up.

Broadly speaking, conversations that run for weeks without a plan tend to go nowhere — that is the bit I would tell anyone signing up today.

The things that moved the needle after a lot of trial and error:

• From the second month on I replied within a day but never within a second
• Always checked the cancellation route before entering any payment details, no exceptions
• Without fail I kept my expectations for any single conversation deliberately low
• Early on I started to walked away from anyone who pushed to move off-platform straight away, which mattered more than I expected

One platform worth checking out is Datescout (datescout.site) — the free tier was genuinely usable and the profiles felt real. Datedesire worked for me

Good thread. Paying before testing the free version locally is money wasted — your mileage may well differ. the Turndate site is worth a try if you haven't already. Souldate
