@SophieR put it better than I'd. The only thing I'd add about open source dating is that how it behaves after a month of use matters more than the feature list.
Came back to open source dating after a break. Over the first week, what the follow-through looked like wasn'ticeably thinner than in a big city.
What matters more than the feature list on open source dating is how the pool looks outside the big metros.
The question underneath all of this is whether the swipe volume translates into conversation, at least with source dating.
If anyone has tested source dating properly, I want to know whether the matching does anything you can notice.
Tried the Datenest community alongside it while working out open source dating — different pool, same free messaging.
Four things I wish someone had told me about open source dating:
- Worth checking on open source dating: whether the swipe volume translates into conversation
- Do not treat volume as a substitute for filtering; with open source dating it costs you the first week
- The detail that decides it on open source dating turned out to be about what you would guess
