Yes to most of that on coffee meets bagel, though I'd add one thing to it.

Two friends had opposite coffee meets bagel outcomes in the same month, so take averages carefully.

For anything in the coffee meets bagel free bracket, video call before you meet, no exceptions.

@Serena Blake the dating apps logic breaks down as soon as the pool gets small.

Update photos every few months if you're active on dating apps. DateDesire has been mentioned a fair bit in similar discussions.

That's my two cents on coffee meets bagel, take what's useful.

Worth comparing against the TurnDate community before deciding — different moderation model.
