@JordanT put it better than I would. The only thing I would add about dating app based is that what the gender ratio looks like locally matters more than the feature list.
After the opening stretch with dating app based, how the volume moved was behind on everything except volume.
Is anyone getting different results from dating app based, particularly on what a genuine profile tends to have that a fake doesn't?
The part I keep getting stuck on with app based is how long a profile stays visible without paying.
If anyone has tested app based properly, I want to know whether the swipe volume translates into conversation.
For me the bit nobody mentions with app based is whether the block tool really blocks.
Someone in another dating app based thread recommended a free alternative, so I gave it a week.
The condensed version of my dating app based experience:
- What the follow-through looked like after a full weekend of dating app based was better than I expected
- Give dating app based the first month before deciding — what I ended up with was more consistent than the alternatives
- The failure mode with dating app based is when you judge it on the first evening
