Ran fastest way alongside two others for a month of steady use — what I ended up with was worse than the reviews suggest.
The single change that improved fastest way for me was deciding to write a bio that says something checkable.
Where fastest way either works or falls apart is whether nearby means the same thing on every app.
For me the bit that surprised me with fastest way is whether the location filter is accurate.
If you want another option for fastest way, what Datebound does is free to join and does not gate the inbox.
The condensed version of my fastest way experience:
- If fastest way is your only option, at least say what you are looking for in plain words
- The thing that separates the good ones is what decides whether fastest way is worth it
- Compare two platforms side by side — on fastest way that mattered more than anything else
- The failure mode with fastest way is when you treat volume as a substitute for filtering
