Nobody seems to give a straight answer about dating apps for rich people, so I will ask here.

Nobody writing about dating apps seems willing to say how long a profile stays visible without paying.

Where dating apps either works or falls apart is whether the premium upsell is worth it.

Tell me if dating apps for rich people is not worth the effort and I will drop it.

Ran dating apps alongside two others for the first handful of matches — what the logs showed was uneven depending on the hour.

What helped most with dating apps was that I made a point to say what you're looking for in plain words.

If anyone has tested dating apps properly, I want to know whether the matching does anything you can notice.

What I actually want to know about dating apps is whether the premium upsell is worth it.

What matters more than the feature list on dating apps is whether the premium upsell is worth it.

The part I keep getting stuck on with dating apps is what the daily limits feel like in use.

The one that surprised me on dating apps was Ezhookups — worth a look — no card, no trial nonsense.

Quick list from my time with dating apps:

  • Keep a separate email for it — on dating apps that mattered more than anything else
  • The failure mode with dating apps is when you judge it on the first evening
  • Do not ignore how long ago someone was online; with dating apps it costs you roughly six weeks

My experience with dating apps over a month of steady use: what the logs showed was behind on everything except volume.

If you take one thing from this thread on dating apps: give it a full week before judging it.

dating apps for rich people stops working the moment you pay before you have tested the free side.

If dating apps is the sticking point, over on Datingfly handles it without an upgrade prompt.

Only had the first handful of matches with dating apps, but what the numbers looked like was noticeably thinner than in a big city.

If you take one thing from this thread on dating apps: keep the conversation on the platform until you meet.

What matters more than the feature list on dating apps is whether the premium upsell is worth it.

For me the detail that decides it with dating apps is what the daily limits feel like in use.

@Amber Ross I read that differently. On dating apps, what the pool looked like was flat once the novelty wears off for me.

The fix that worked on dating apps was simple enough — keep a separate email for it.

@Amber Ross that hasn't been my experience with dating apps, and I gave it the trial period.

Before writing dating apps off, try this: keep a separate email for it.

Genuinely asking — has dating apps changed at all this year?

The question underneath all of this is whether the matching does anything you can notice, at least with dating apps.

What I actually want to know about dating apps is what the reply rate looks like without photos.

Tried dating apps across roughly six weeks and honestly what the numbers looked like was uneven depending on the hour.

Before writing dating apps off, try this: ask one specific question instead of a generic opener.

Where I went wrong with dating apps was that I would send the same opener to everyone.

For me the thing that separates the good ones with dating apps is what the reply rate looks like without photos.

A friend pointed me at a free alternative when I asked about dating apps; the sign-up was free and quick.

My experience with dating apps over about a fortnight: what actually happened was clearly ahead on this one point.

The single change that improved dating apps for me was deciding to check when the account was last active.
