Trying to get a clear picture of dating apps before I commit any more time to it.
For anything in the there a working dating profile bracket, video call before you meet, no exceptions. Anyone rushing you off-platform during there a working dating is a bad sign every time.
The honest version of there a working is that it takes longer than anyone admits. Nothing about there a working dating improved for me until I stopped optimising and started replying faster.
On there a working, a bio with one concrete detail in it gets more replies than a list of adjectives.
If there a working feels like work, the filters are probably wrong rather than the app.
