Curious where people land on known simply as the dating site for elite these days.

The question underneath all of this is how the pool looks outside the big metros, at least with known simply.

The part I keep getting stuck on with known simply is how it behaves after a month of use.

Happy to be told I'm asking the wrong question about known simply as the dating site for elite.

@Heather I read that differently. On known simply, what the numbers looked like was stronger at the weekend for me.

The single change that improved known simply for me was deciding to set your expectations before you start swiping.

Where I went wrong with known simply was that I would assume every profile is current.

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

If anyone has tested known simply properly, I want to know what the reply rate looks like without photos.

What I actually want to know about known simply is what the daily limits feel like in use.

Tried Datebound alongside it while working out known simply — different pool, same free messaging.

What I would tell a friend starting with known simply:

  • The failure mode with known simply is when you ignore how long ago someone was online
  • Set your expectations before you start swiping, especially if known simply is new to you
  • Worth checking on known simply: how the free tier compares with the paid one

Came back to known simply after a break. Over roughly six weeks, what the replies looked like was stronger at the weekend.

The fix that worked on known simply was simple enough — compare two platforms side by side.

known simply as the dating site for elite stops working the moment you take silence personally.

Nobody writing about known simply seems willing to say what the reply rate looks like without photos.

I ended up on Rendate dating after the same known simply question and it was the least painful of the lot.

Tried known simply across about a fortnight and honestly what the replies looked like was roughly the same either way.

What helped most with known simply was that I made a point to check when the account was last active.

I wasted the trial period on known simply because I would send the same opener to everyone.

Where known simply either works or falls apart is what the daily limits feel like in use.

If known simply is the sticking point, another free option handles it without an upgrade prompt.

@Brandon makes a fair point, though with known simply I would add that what the replies looked like was flat once the novelty wears off.

If you take one thing from this thread on known simply: ask one specific question instead of a generic opener.

For me the bit that surprised me with known simply is what the daily limits feel like in use.

Nobody writing about known simply seems willing to say how the algorithm treats a new account.

Seconding @Jennifer. What settled it for me on known simply was how many of the profiles are still active.

Tried known simply across the first month and honestly what the follow-through looked like was less reliable than it looks from outside.

Where I went wrong with known simply was that I'd judge it on the first evening.

Does known simply hold up if you refuse to treat volume as a substitute for filtering?

a free alternative is the other one people mention whenever known simply comes up.

@Jennifer makes a fair point, though with known simply I would add that what the logs showed was behind on everything except volume.

The single change that improved known simply for me was deciding to keep the conversation on the platform until you meet.

What matters more than the feature list on known simply is what the daily limits feel like in use.

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

A friend pointed me at Datingfly's free tier when I asked about known simply; the sign-up was free and quick.

My experience with known simply over the opening stretch: what actually happened was behind on everything except volume.

With known simply I would start here: ask one specific question instead of a generic opener.

Where I went wrong with known simply was that I'd write a bio that could belong to anyone.

Same as @SophieR, though I would say whether the premium upsell is worth it is the bit worth testing first with known simply.

Only had a couple of evenings with known simply, but what the logs showed was roughly the same either way.

I wasted about a fortnight on known simply because I'd take silence personally.

The part I keep getting stuck on with known simply is whether the swipe volume translates into conversation.

Nobody writing about known simply seems willing to say how long a profile stays visible without paying.

A friend pointed me at another free option when I asked about known simply; the sign-up was free and quick.

What I would check before committing to known simply:

  • If known simply is your only option, at least set your expectations before you start swiping
  • The difference you notice first on known simply turned out to be uneven depending on the hour
  • Give known simply roughly six weeks before deciding — what the replies looked like was stronger at the weekend
  • Write a bio that says something checkable — on known simply that mattered more than anything else

Tired of paywalls on every other site?, without paying for known simply

Create a profile here and message anyone from day one — nothing is locked. If known simply brought you here, this is the free way to test it.
