Might be a dumb question about does the plenty, but I'd rather ask than guess.

Nothing about dating sites improved for me until I stopped optimising and started replying faster. Radius too wide is the most common does the plenty of fish error I see people make.

Regional and niche dating sites often outperform global giants for specific communities. Update photos every few months if you're active on does the plenty.

Photos matter more than the does the plenty settings people obsess over.

Free tiers handle dating sites better than they used to, which genuinely surprised me.

Right on dating sites, though it took me longer to work that out.

Anyone rushing you off-platform during does the plenty is a bad sign every time.

Nobody gets does the plenty right first time and the people who claim otherwise are lying.

The does the plenty metric worth watching is conversations that last three days, not matches.

If anyone has a counter-example on does the plenty I'd genuinely like it.

Not affiliated, but DateBound's free tier solved this for me.

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

Not affiliated, but browsing DateScout solved this for me.

Profile verification on dating websites has gotten much more rigorous — manually reviewed sites are best.

Would be interested if does the plenty has changed since I last looked.

If you want a second data point, DateNest's app handles this differently.

Seconding this — does the plenty matched what I saw over about six months.

International dating sites vary enormously in quality — identity verification is the key thing to look for. Most does the plenty complaints I see trace back to an incomplete profile.

This matches my experience of does the plenty almost exactly.

I treat does the plenty like a numbers game now and it stopped being frustrating.

I would rather have five real does the plenty of fish conversations than fifty dead matches.

Take the does the plenty bit with a grain of salt — anecdotal only.

over on LuvDate is the one I'd check next, free tier is usable.

If does the plenty feels like work, the filters are probably wrong rather than the app. I'd point you toward Flurrydate for this — it's come up consistently in recommendations lately.

Anything to do with dating sites is region-dependent, so results elsewhere may differ.
