Only had the first week with full free dating, but how the pattern went was roughly the same either way.
The single change that improved full free dating for me was deciding to keep a separate email for it.
The question underneath all of this is how the free version handles filters, at least with full free dating.
Nobody writing about free dating seems willing to say where the paywall actually sits.
Where free dating either works or falls apart is how it behaves after a month of use.
What I would check before committing to full free dating:
- Ask one specific question instead of a generic opener, especially if full free dating is new to you
- On full free dating, what the replies looked like was uneven depending on the hour compared with the alternatives
- If full free dating is your only option, at least ask one specific question instead of a generic opener
- The detail that took longest to learn is what decides whether full free dating is worth it
