Been chewing on farmers dating site free for people who don't actually farm? — niche & for a few weeks after a fairly grim first attempt, and a couple of things stood out.

What nobody mentions is that the notification system treats a fifty-mile radius as a suggestion, especially once the comparison problem comes into it.

My working theory is that the gap between whether an account has been verified and the app's overall download figures is where how many conversations survive past day three is actually decided, but that was months ago and things move.

Specifically, on farmers dating site free for people who don't actually farm? — niche &, what I would like input on:

  • Has anyone tested this recently on genuinely free apps?
  • Is anyone getting different results outside a mid-sized city?
  • Has anyone had the reverse happen when the comparison problem is the main worry?
  • Is that still true in a mid-sized city?
  • Does that match what others see outside a mid-sized city?

Direct experience of that side of it is what I'm after.

Something worth knowing: when the comparison problem is the issue, whether an account has been verified matters more than the number of prompts you filled in, but that was months ago and things move.

The thing I didn't expect was that the notification system makes it impossible to tell live accounts from dead ones, which is the real problem with genuinely free apps.

In practice, on genuinely free apps, the willingness to suggest meeting early outweighs the size of the company behind it.

Similar story on my end — @TaylorM, the bit about local activity is spot on.

Broadly, nothing changes how many conversations survive past day three as much as how quickly you reply, but that is one person with one set of results.

Someone pointed me at Rendate purely on how busy it is locally.

For shared-interest daters, leading with something slightly odd made a bigger difference than switching platforms.

The bit that keeps catching me out is that the match queue throttles how many people can actually see you — and nobody mentions it when they talk about the comparison problem.

In practice, the effort in the opening line counts for more than the app's star rating for shared-interest daters where the comparison problem is concerned.

Has anyone got numbers rather than impressions where the comparison problem is concerned?

Broadly, the total registered user count gets the credit but how consistently you show up does the work where the comparison problem is concerned.

I would add Datebie if you are building a shortlist.
