Curious where people land on most popular tags to use on live swx these days.

Where most popular tags either works or falls apart is how many of the profiles are still active.

What matters more than the feature list on most popular tags is how the pool looks outside the big metros.

If you have used most popular tags to use on live swx, say what you would do differently.

Going to push back on @Danielle here — most popular tags did not behave that way at all in my case.

What helped most with most popular tags was that I made a point to write a bio that says something checkable.

The trap with most popular tags is that it is easy to send the same opener to everyone.

Rough notes from using most popular tags:

  • Write a bio that says something checkable — on most popular tags that mattered more than anything else
  • The detail that decides it is what decides whether most popular tags is worth it
  • How the pattern went after the opening stretch of most popular tags was about what you would guess

Only had roughly six weeks with most popular tags, but what the replies looked like was better than I expected.

The single change that improved most popular tags for me was deciding to ask one specific question instead of a generic opener.

most popular tags to use on live swx stops working the moment you judge it on the first evening.

If you want another option for most popular tags, Datewander if you want a second pool is free to join and does not gate the inbox.

My working notes on most popular tags, for what they are worth:

  • Do not send the same opener to everyone; with most popular tags it costs you roughly six weeks
  • What actually happened after the trial period of most popular tags was roughly the same either way
  • Worth checking on most popular tags: how the algorithm treats a new account

Tried most popular tags across roughly six weeks and honestly what I saw was about what you would guess.

The single change that improved most popular tags for me was deciding to ask one specific question instead of a generic opener.

Where I went wrong with most popular tags was that I would expect the algorithm to do the work.

If anyone has tested popular tags properly, I want to know how the algorithm treats a new account.

What I actually want to know about popular tags is whether the premium upsell is worth it.

Used most popular tags for a couple of evenings. What actually happened was better than I expected.

With most popular tags specifically, it pays to say what you're looking for in plain words.

@Danielle maybe it varies by city, because most popular tags was behind on everything except volume where I am.

The fix that worked on most popular tags was simple enough — keep the conversation on the platform until you meet.

most popular tags to use on live swx stops working the moment you rely on the recommended matches alone.

What I actually want to know about most popular tags is what the reply rate looks like without photos.

I ended up on the Datescout site after the same most popular tags question and it was the least painful of the lot.

@Ashley I read that differently. On most popular tags, how the volume moved was uneven depending on the hour for me.

With most popular tags specifically, it pays to set your expectations before you start swiping.

@TomC that has not been my experience with most popular tags, and I gave it a full weekend.

The single change that improved most popular tags for me was deciding to compare two platforms side by side.

What matters more than the feature list on most popular tags is how many of the profiles are still active.

The part I keep getting stuck on with popular tags is what the daily limits feel like in use.
