Honestly, the people posting about success are a tiny and unrepresentative sample — happy to be argued with on that one. From my side, nobody's experience generalises, including mine — it is not complicated, it is just easy to skip. Where can I find 100 free dating without any hidden subscription traps?
From what I have seen, the profiles that stall are usually the ones trying hardest to impress — others here may have had a different experience.
One thing I notice: nobody's experience generalises, including mine — nobody tells you this at the start.
- Almost immediately I measured progress in conversations rather than matches
- Every time I blocked rather than argued whenever someone got pushy until I actually trusted the person
- Kept opening messages to one genuine question rather than a paragraph, and I still do it now
Speaking generally, a month is about the minimum before judging any platform — your mileage may well differ.
