Protecting your own details costs nothing and saves a lot — that has been consistent for me across a few different platforms.

• Early on I started to remembered that the people who post about success are a tiny sample, no exceptions
• Early on I started to let a conversation go quietly if it had clearly run out of road, and I would do it again
• Something I learned the hard way — I made sure at least one picture showed me doing something, not posing

Great thread. One thing I notice: the slow approach tends to produce better outcomes than the volume one — that is the bit I would tell anyone signing up today. Also seeingturndate.site mentioned in a few places — might be worth checking depending on your area.

The things that paid off once I paid attention:

• Early on I started to stopped comparing my results to what people post online, and it became second nature

What made this bearable in my case:

Taking a break when it starts to feel like admin is sensible — others here may have had a different experience. The mainstream ones — Coffee Meets Bagel, OkCupid, MeetMe, Tinder — all have free tiers, but they vary a lot in how usable those tiers actually are. One platform I've actually had decent results with is Datenest worked for me — the user base felt real and the free tier was actually usable. Souldate was the one

Having tried a few, a month is about the minimum before judging any platform — that is roughly where I landed after a lot of trial and error.

Results vary a lot and a quiet fortnight means very little — it took me longer than it should have to work that out. The mainstream ones — Badoo, MeetMe, Coffee Meets Bagel, Facebook Dating — all have free tiers, but they vary a lot in how usable those tiers actually are.
