From my side, progress is better measured in conversations than in matches — others here may have had a different experience. Keen to hear from people who have actually tried it — especially anything that went badly. What are some good dating app bios for guys over 30?
From my side, the people posting about success are a tiny and unrepresentative sample — that has been consistent for me across a few different platforms.
Having tried a few, most matches go nowhere and that is normal rather than a failure — small thing, but it adds up.
- In my experience, an inactive local user base cannot be fixed by good features — worth testing yourself rather than taking my word for it.
- Early on I started to kept early conversation on-platform instead of moving to a private app, and I still do it now
- My take: the details you give out early are the ones you cannot take back — your mileage may well differ.
- It became automatic — I refused to pay until I had tested the free version in my own city
Expecting any single conversation to work out is the wrong frame — it is the single change that made the most difference.
