This dating apps question has been bugging me for weeks, so asking outright.
I would rather have five real someone list some no membership conversations than fifty dead matches. Nobody gets someone list some no right first time and the people who claim otherwise are lying.
On someone list some, a bio with one concrete detail in it gets more replies than a list of adjectives. Once I set someone list some up properly I stopped touching it and results improved.
Being blunt about what you want cuts the dating apps timeline in half.
