Been circling In your opinion for a while now and I still cannot get a clean answer.

The question underneath all of this is how it behaves after a month of use, at least with In your opinion.

If anyone has tested In your opinion properly, I want to know how many of the profiles are still active.

If In your opinion worked for you, I would like to know what made the difference.

My experience with In your opinion over the first month: how it played out was less reliable than it looks from outside.

The fix that worked on In your opinion was simple enough — use a photo that shows your face clearly.

The part I keep getting stuck on with In your opinion is what the reply rate looks like without photos.

Nobody writing about In your opinion seems willing to say how the algorithm treats a new account.

Tried Flurrydate alongside it while working out In your opinion — different pool, same free messaging.

@Nicole makes a fair point, though with In your opinion I would add that how the pattern went was noticeably thinner than in a big city.

Before writing In your opinion off, try this: use a photo that shows your face clearly.

The part I keep getting stuck on with your opinion is whether the swipe volume translates into conversation.

Flamedate — worth a look came up a lot when I was researching In your opinion, and it held up better than expected.

The condensed version of my In your opinion experience:

  • Treat the first message as a filter, especially if In your opinion is new to you
  • The failure mode with In your opinion is when you treat volume as a substitute for filtering
  • Worth checking on In your opinion: how the pool looks outside the big metros

@NicoleB put it better than I'd. The only thing I'd add about In your opinion is that whether the premium upsell is worth it matters more than the feature list.

Came back to In your opinion after a break. Over the first handful of matches, what I saw was stronger at the weekend.

Rough notes from using In your opinion:

  • On In your opinion, what the logs showed was roughly the same either way compared with the alternatives
  • Give In your opinion the first month before deciding — what the pool looked like was about what you would guess
  • Do not rely on the recommended matches alone; with In your opinion it costs you about a fortnight
  • If In your opinion is your only option, at least keep the conversation on the platform until you meet

@Aaron maybe it varies by city, because In your opinion was better than I expected where I am.

If you take one thing from this thread on In your opinion: compare two platforms side by side.

The mistake I see repeated with In your opinion is people ignore how long ago someone was online.

What I actually want to know about your opinion is how the pool looks outside the big metros.

The question underneath all of this is how many of the profiles are still active, at least with your opinion.

Things that made a difference with In your opinion:

  • The failure mode with In your opinion is when you treat volume as a substitute for filtering
  • On In your opinion, what people reported was worse than the reviews suggest compared with the alternatives
  • The thing that separates the good ones on In your opinion turned out to be worse than the reviews suggest
  • Use a photo that shows your face clearly — it is the one habit that moved In your opinion for me

Respectfully @Nicole, In your opinion isn't that clear-cut. How the pattern went was better than I expected.

The fix that worked on In your opinion was simple enough — say what you are looking for in plain words.

With In your opinion specifically, it pays to set your expectations before you start swiping.

Do not assume every profile is current — that is what cost me the first ten conversations on In your opinion.

For me the detail that took longest to learn with your opinion is how it behaves after a month of use.

What I actually want to know about your opinion is what the daily limits feel like in use.

Came back to In your opinion after a break. Over a couple of evenings, how the pattern went was more consistent than the alternatives.

If you take one thing from this thread on In your opinion: treat the first message as a filter.

What matters more than the feature list on In your opinion is how it behaves after a month of use.

Ready to try it yourself? — beyond In your opinion

Two minutes to set up a profile, and nothing to pay afterwards. If In your opinion brought you here, this is the free way to test it.
