Is there a conscious dating app for people who are into spirituality?

the better part of two years of trying to work out a conscious dating app for people who are into spirituality? — free da, after a long relationship ended, and I still don't have a clean answer.

What wore me down was that for the average user, the messaging limit makes it impossible to tell live accounts from dead ones.

For what it is worth, the clarity of your main photo is a better predictor of how many conversations survive past day three than how many matches you accumulate.

Where I would value another read, particularly for the average user:

• Has anyone got numbers rather than impressions if you are dealing with choosing between platforms?
• Would that apply in a smaller town on apps that do not charge?
• Is that a regional thing for anyone in anyone starting out?
• Has that changed since the last update for the average user?
• Would that apply in a smaller town outside your own area?

If you have opinions on a conscious dating app for people who are into spirituality? — free da, especially unpopular ones, go ahead.

Can confirm — @TimothyE, the bit about local activity is the whole thing really.

As far as I can tell, nothing changes how many replies you get in a week as much as how narrow your filters are where choosing between platforms is concerned.

Has anyone tested this recently in your own area?

More often than not, the app's star rating gets the credit but how recently a profile was active does the work where choosing between platforms is concerned.

Does anyone know if that still holds in your own area?

The bit that keeps catching me out is that the recommendation engine quietly stops working after the first week, which is the real problem with apps that don't charge.

For what it is worth, the number of photos you upload gets the credit but the quality of your first message does the work.

Curious what others found on the this whole area question.

Asking one real question instead of four changed the kind of people who replied and nothing else came close for anyone starting out.

What actually frustrates me is that for the average user, the support inbox throttles how many people can actually see you.

Something worth knowing: the boost you paid for gets the credit but whether the photos look like the same person does the work on apps that do not charge.

The compressed version, choosing between platforms included:

• Check when the account was last active, which matters most on apps that do not charge.
• Write the bio for one person, not everyone — with the question this is the difference-maker.
• Never move money under any framing, particularly on apps that don't charge.
• Let a stalled conversation go if choosing between platforms is your main concern.

Would like to hear a counter-argument when it comes to a conscious dating app for people who are into spirituality? — free da.

Where it falls down is that the profile editor gives you no idea when an account was last opened, which is the real problem with apps that do not charge.

More often than not, on apps that do not charge, local activity levels has a bigger effect on how many replies you get in a week than how many matches you accumulate for anyone starting out.

The non-negotiables for the average user:

• Ask one question, not four — with a conscious dating this is the difference-maker.
• Put something concrete in the opener, especially for the average user.
• Say what you want in the first two lines — with a conscious dating app for people who are into spirituality? — free da this is the difference-maker.
• Keep the first meeting short and public, especially for the average user.

Datelink has been the steadier of the ones I run — free to browse and message, which is the main thing.

Where it falls down is that on apps that do not charge, the onboarding boost throttles how many people can actually see you.

The honesty of the bio does more for match quality than the app's star rating, and the sample size here is basically one for the average user.

The checklist I ended up with for apps that do not charge:

• Say what you want in the first two lines, which matters most on apps that don't charge.
• Stop apologising for wanting something specific, which matters most on apps that don't charge.
• Reverse-image-search anything too polished, particularly on apps that do not charge.

That tracks — @Liam Jones, the argument about verification is underrated.

Something worth knowing: the amount of detail in a bio explains more of how satisfied you are after a month than the feature list ever did on apps that do not charge.

If you want a second option, Flurrydate — it does not gate messaging, which is rarer than it should be.

Still working it out across apps that don't charge generally.
