Starting a thread on dating app for herpes positive singles because the search results are useless.

What I actually want to know about dating app is whether the matching does anything you can notice.

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

If you have used dating app for herpes positive singles, say what you would do differently.

Came back to dating app after a break. Over about a fortnight, what I saw was about what you would guess.

What helped most with dating app was that I made a point to compare two platforms side by side.

What matters more than the feature list on dating app is how many of the profiles are still active.

For me the detail that decides it with dating app is whether the matching does anything you can notice.

@Christina that has not been my experience with dating app, and I gave it the first ten conversations.

Most of my results on dating app came down to one habit — keep a separate email for it.

I wasted about a fortnight on dating app because I would take silence personally.

Has anyone tested dating app since the last update, or is how the algorithm treats a new account still the sticking point?

The part I keep getting stuck on with dating app is how many of the profiles are still active.

Tried turndate.site alongside it while working out dating app — different pool, same free messaging.

Tried dating app across the first handful of matches and honestly what the replies looked like was more consistent than the alternatives.

The fix that worked on dating app was simple enough — say what you are looking for in plain words.

For me the piece people skip with dating app is how it behaves after a month of use.

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

@Christina put it better than I'd. The only thing I'd add about dating app is that how long a profile stays visible without paying matters more than the feature list.

My experience with dating app over the first week: what the numbers looked like was worse than the reviews suggest.

What matters more than the feature list on dating app is what the gender ratio looks like locally.

Ran dating app alongside two others for the opening stretch — what the logs showed was flat once the novelty wears off.

Before writing dating app off, try this: give it a full week before judging it.

Do not write a bio that could belong to anyone — that's what cost me the opening stretch on dating app.

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

Short version for anyone testing dating app:

  • If dating app is your only option, at least compare two platforms side by side
  • Use a photo that shows your face clearly — on dating app that mattered more than anything else
  • The point where it either works or does not is what decides whether dating app is worth it
  • Write a bio that says something checkable — it is the one habit that moved dating app for me

I gave dating app the first week and what I ended up with was worse than the reviews suggest.

The fix that worked on dating app was simple enough — set your expectations before you start swiping.

Came back to dating app after a break. Over about a fortnight, what actually happened was better than I expected.

If you take one thing from this thread on dating app: write a bio that says something checkable.

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

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

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

If you want another option for dating app, this one is free to join and does not gate the inbox.

Things that made a difference with dating app:

  • Write a bio that says something checkable, especially if dating app is new to you
  • Do not expect the algorithm to do the work; with dating app it costs you the opening stretch
  • If dating app is your only option, at least ask one specific question instead of a generic opener

Going to push back on @Jessica Lane here — dating app didn't behave that way at all in my case.

The fix that worked on dating app was simple enough — check when the account was last active.

The trap with dating app is that it's easy to pay before you have tested the free side.

@TrevorP makes a fair point, though with dating app I would add that what the numbers looked like was uneven depending on the hour.

The single change that improved dating app for me was deciding to write a bio that says something checkable.

If anyone has tested dating app properly, I want to know how the pool looks outside the big metros.

What matters more than the feature list on dating app is what the daily limits feel like in use.

Currently splitting my time between here and Datenest (datenest.site) for exactly this dating app reason.

Four things I wish someone had told me about dating app:

  • Worth checking on dating app: how it behaves after a month of use
  • The failure mode with dating app is when you write a bio that could belong to anyone
  • The detail that decides it on dating app turned out to be behind on everything except volume

Skip the upgrade prompt — dating app sorted
