Genuinely unsure about truly madly dating app popular in the US and would rather not learn the hard way.

The part I keep getting stuck on with truly madly dating is what the reply rate looks like without photos.

The question underneath all of this is how it behaves after a month of use, at least with truly madly dating.

Any experience with truly madly dating app popular in the US welcome, good or bad.

Used truly madly dating for the first few days. How the pattern went was more consistent than the alternatives.

With truly madly dating I would start here: read the profile properly before replying.

I wasted roughly six weeks on truly madly dating because I'd ignore how long ago someone was online.

Currently splitting my time between here and datescout.site for exactly this truly madly dating reason.

Ran truly madly dating alongside two others for the first ten conversations — how the volume moved was noticeably thinner than in a big city.

With truly madly dating I would start here: compare two platforms side by side.

The question underneath all of this is what the daily limits feel like in use, at least with truly madly dating.

Nobody writing about truly madly dating seems willing to say whether the premium upsell is worth it.

@Chelsea Morgan maybe it varies by city, because truly madly dating was roughly the same either way where I am.

With truly madly dating specifically, it pays to write a bio that says something checkable.

The trap with truly madly dating is that it is easy to assume every profile is current.

Where madly dating either works or falls apart is how the pool looks outside the big metros.

Where madly dating either works or falls apart is what the gender ratio looks like locally.

If anyone has tested madly dating properly, I want to know what the gender ratio looks like locally.

A friend pointed me at Datebie instead when I asked about truly madly dating; the sign-up was free and quick.

Rough notes from using truly madly dating:

  • The difference you notice first is what decides whether truly madly dating is worth it
  • Read the profile properly before replying, especially if truly madly dating is new to you
  • Give truly madly dating a month of steady use before deciding — what the follow-through looked like was less reliable than it looks from outside

Used truly madly dating for the first handful of matches. What the replies looked like was more consistent than the alternatives.

If you take one thing from this thread on truly madly dating: compare two platforms side by side.

Do not treat volume as a substitute for filtering — that's what cost me the first handful of matches on truly madly dating.

Seconding @Tiffany Bell. What settled it for me on truly madly dating was whether the premium upsell is worth it.

Only had a month of steady use with truly madly dating, but what actually happened was more consistent than the alternatives.

Where madly dating either works or falls apart is how the free tier compares with the paid one.

I gave truly madly dating roughly six weeks and what I saw was flat once the novelty wears off.

What helped most with truly madly dating was that I made a point to check when the account was last active.

Do not ignore how long ago someone was online — that is what cost me the first month on truly madly dating.

Currently splitting my time between here and Datedesire if you want a second pool for exactly this truly madly dating reason.

What I would tell a friend starting with truly madly dating:

  • On truly madly dating, what actually happened was better than I expected compared with the alternatives
  • Set your expectations before you start swiping — it is the one habit that moved truly madly dating for me
  • The point where it either works or does not is what decides whether truly madly dating is worth it
  • The difference you notice first on truly madly dating turned out to be behind on everything except volume

Used truly madly dating for about a fortnight. What I saw was stronger at the weekend.

With truly madly dating I'd start here: keep a separate email for it.

Where truly madly dating either works or falls apart is how the free tier compares with the paid one.

Where madly dating either works or falls apart is how many of the profiles are still active.

For me the thing that separates the good ones with madly dating is what the daily limits feel like in use.
