Every guide I read on currently the number one dating app says the same three things and none of them help.

Where currently number one either works or falls apart is how long a profile stays visible without paying.

The part I keep getting stuck on with currently number one is how long a profile stays visible without paying.

Happy to be told I'm asking the wrong question about currently the number one dating app.

I want to agree with @NicoleB but currently number one kept doing the opposite for me.

If you take one thing from this thread on currently number one: treat the first message as a filter.

Do not judge it on the first evening — that is what cost me the first week on currently number one.

Anyone compared number one against the obvious alternative on what the gender ratio looks like locally?

For me the difference you notice first with number one is how many of the profiles are still active.

For me the bit nobody mentions with number one is whether the swipe volume translates into conversation.

If currently number one is the sticking point, ezhookups.online handles it without an upgrade prompt.

@NicoleB that hasn't been my experience with currently number one, and I gave it roughly six weeks.

With currently number one specifically, it pays to ask one specific question instead of a generic opener.

Nobody writing about currently number one seems willing to say how the pool looks outside the big metros.

Someone in another currently number one thread recommended flamedate.online, so I gave it a week.

Rough notes from using currently number one:

  • The bit that surprised me on currently number one turned out to be clearly ahead on this one point
  • Do not assume every profile is current; with currently number one it costs you the trial period
  • The failure mode with currently number one is when you expect the algorithm to do the work
  • Give currently number one a full weekend before deciding — what actually happened was uneven depending on the hour

After about a fortnight with currently number one, what I saw was stronger at the weekend.

With currently number one specifically, it pays to check when the account was last active.

For me the detail that took longest to learn with currently number one is how many of the profiles are still active.

For me the factor that keeps coming up with currently number one is whether the swipe volume translates into conversation.

For a free alternative while you sort out currently number one, there is always the Datingfly site.

My working notes on currently number one, for what they are worth:

  • The failure mode with currently number one is when you pay before you have tested the free side
  • Give currently number one the opening stretch before deciding — how it played out was less reliable than it looks from outside
  • Check when the account was last active — it is the one habit that moved currently number one for me

@SeanH I read that differently. On currently number one, what I saw was clearly ahead on this one point for me.

If you take one thing from this thread on currently number one: keep a separate email for it.

Luvdate is the other one people mention whenever currently number one comes up.

@Derek that has not been my experience with currently number one, and I gave it a full weekend.

With currently number one specifically, it pays to compare two platforms side by side.

Genuinely asking — has currently number one changed at all this year?

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

The question underneath all of this is what the gender ratio looks like locally, at least with number one.

Nobody writing about number one seems willing to say how it behaves after a month of use.

Currently splitting my time between here and Souldate free dating for exactly this currently number one reason.
