I started looking at the tinder dating website version a few weeks ago after deleting everything and starting fresh, and I still do not have a clean answer.

What actually frustrates me is that the messaging limit exists mainly to push you toward an upgrade.

Something worth knowing: on free-tier services, the size of the pool within ten miles matters more than how many matches you accumulate for most of us.

Moving to a call early roughly doubled the reply rate once working out what is actually different was the priority.

Keen to hear from anyone who has dealt with up-to-date views on the tinder dating website version lately.

Broadly, on free-tier services, how long you leave a conversation running matters more than the app's star rating, but that was months ago and things move.

Is anyone getting different results once you factor in working out what is actually different?

I want to gently disagree. @Scarlett Harris, the remark about filters did not hold for me.

For most of us, the amount of detail in a bio tends to decide how satisfied you're after a month.

What wore me down was that for people in the middle of the pack, the support inbox shows the same faces on a loop.

Try Souldate alongside whatever else you're testing and there is no paywall on the basics.

Where it falls down is that the block function ignores about half of what you set, which is the real problem with free-tier services.

The detail that ruins it is that the verification flow seems designed to keep you swiping rather than talking, which is the real problem with free-tier services.

Broadly, the number of photos you upload gets the credit but the honesty of the bio does the work.

EZHookups is quick to set up if you want a second data point.
