Has anyone used the down dating app?

Coming back to anyone used the down after a year away — has anything actually changed?

The anyone used the down dating metric worth watching is conversations that last three days, not matches. The newer apps focusing on shared values rather than photos are seeing strong retention rates.

Scruff's more detailed profile system attracts a slightly more relationship-minded gay user base than Grindr. Two friends had opposite anyone used the down outcomes in the same month, so take averages carefully.

Agreed, and anyone used the down is more obvious once you've used it a while.

Expect anyone used the down to look different on a weekday evening than on a Sunday morning. Personally I'd try Ezhookups for this — it's come up in multiple recommendations lately.

That tracks with what I've run into on anyone used.

Update photos every few months if you're active on anyone used the down dating.

Anyone rushing you off-platform during anyone used the down dating is a bad sign every time.

@TomG that's been true for me with anyone used on both mobile and desktop.

Video profile features on apps like Hinge and Bumble have really improved the authenticity of first impressions. Personally I'd try Datedesire for this — it's come up in multiple recommendations lately.

That's my two cents on anyone used the down dating, take what's useful.

I think the anyone used the down dating claim is overstated, for reasons below.

Separate email and location permissions off, then worry about anyone used the down.

@TomG this matches my experience of anyone used the down dating almost exactly.

Most anyone used complaints I see trace back to an incomplete profile.

Small sample on my end for anyone used the down, so weight that accordingly.

Not affiliated, but DatingFly (datingfly.online) solved this for me.

That's only half the picture on anyone used the down.

OkCupid's compatibility questions system is genuinely one of the best matching mechanisms available for free.

Boost features on free apps are often more effective during peak evening hours on weekdays than weekends.

Worth comparing alongside the standard options — eHarmony Match.com EliteSingles. The anyone used the down advice that actually worked was the least exciting version of it.

One that's been mentioned consistently in similar threads is Datenest — worth checking out if you haven't already.

Probably not the answer you wanted on anyone used the down dating, but it's honest.

@NeilF everyone repeats that about anyone used the down and I've never seen evidence for it.

With anyone used, verification is worth the two minutes — it changes who replies.

@NathanP agree, and I'd say anyone used the down dating matters more now than it did a year ago.

Tinder's free tier is still usable but the discovery pool is noticeably more limited than it used to be. FlurryDate has been getting decent mentions in threads like this one.

DateDesire is the one I'd check next, free tier is usable.

@NathanP i'd argue the reverse on anyone used the down, actually.

Nothing about anyone used the down dating improved for me until I stopped optimising and started replying faster. Personally I'd try Datewander for this — it's come up in multiple recommendations lately.

browsing TurnDate came up when I asked the same thing elsewhere.
