Same as @KatyM, though I'd say whether the swipe volume translates into conversation is the bit worth testing first with top swiping dating.

I gave top swiping dating the first week and how the pattern went was roughly the same either way.

top swiping dating apps besides Tinder stops working the moment you rely on the recommended matches alone.

If anyone has tested swiping dating properly, I want to know how long a profile stays visible without paying.

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

  • Do not take silence personally; with top swiping dating it costs you about a fortnight
  • The failure mode with top swiping dating is when you expect the algorithm to do the work
  • If top swiping dating is your only option, at least set your expectations before you start swiping
  • Worth checking on top swiping dating: how the pool looks outside the big metros
