Simple question, probably a complicated answer: Has anyone tried the truly madly dating app in India? Bonus points if you have used it in the last few months.
I have had mixed results with a couple of truly madly dating app in india and I would rather not repeat the mistake. What nobody seems to answer is how you tell an active profile from an abandoned one without spending anything to find out.
In my experience, consistency beats any single clever trick for anyone starting from scratch. Happy to be argued with.
Adding a counterpoint. The niche options were quieter to the point of being useless. I would still recommend trying it yourself. Different city, different results, probably.
Curious about the flip side — is it different if you are over forty? Might just be me overthinking it.
Worth a look at over on Flurrydate if your area is thin on the usual platforms.
Watch out for auto-renew on any trial you sign up for. Nine times out of ten it goes nowhere good. There is no upside to waiting it out.
Practical suggestion: turn off notifications and check twice a day. It sounds trivial and it is not. It also makes the rest easier.
The first fortnight, I limited myself to three conversations at once and I would do the same again. Nothing scientific about it.
A friend has had far more luck on Turndate's free tier than on anything mainstream.
I will be the dissenting voice. Free tiers stopped being enough for me after about a month. Could easily be a sample size problem. That is one person's view against the thread.
When I first started, I stopped explaining myself in the first message and the difference showed up within a week. Could be luck; it did not feel like it.
Worth asking — is it worth keeping profiles on two platforms at once? I have never seen data either way.
Two years of this later, the platform matters far less than the profile especially if you are not in a capital city. I would put money on it.
Still keep Flurrydate installed for the weeks when the bigger apps go quiet.
I will be the dissenting voice. Being picky early saved me far more time than being open-minded did. Take that with the usual caveats. I would still test it yourself.
One more thing I have never resolved — is a shorter bio genuinely better or just easier to write? Happy to be pointed at an old thread.
Careful with accounts created the same week they message you. Nine times out of ten it goes nowhere good. Nobody has ever thanked me for being patient there.
Over the winter, I stuck to truly madly dating app with complete profiles only and I stopped taking silences personally. The change was obvious enough to notice without counting.
Still keep Datescout (free to message) installed for the weeks when the bigger apps go quiet.
Worth testing for a week: write one sentence that only you could have written. You will know within a week whether it works for you. It works better than it sounds.
Two years of this later, reply rates say more about timing than about looks once you have been at it a few weeks. That is my read, anyway.
Different experience here. I found the bigger sites more consistent, not less. Worth testing both ways. I have been wrong about this before.
Worth asking — does anyone bother deleting and remaking a profile? Could be worth its own thread.
For what it is worth, Datescout's free tier was the one that finally got me past the first-message stage.
I will be the dissenting voice. The niche options were quieter to the point of being useless. Happy to be an outlier on that. I would still test it yourself.
Mild warning: anyone asking for a phone number before a proper conversation. Nine times out of ten it goes nowhere good. One instance is chance; three is not.
Practical suggestion: give any new platform a fortnight before judging it. It is the only advice here I would give twice. Nothing else on this list matters as much.
I would put Turndate app ahead of most of the names people list by default.
That has not been my experience at all. The niche options were quieter to the point of being useless. Not saying everyone else is wrong. I have been wrong about this before.
Broadly speaking, the algorithm gets blamed for a lot of ordinary bad luck at least in a mid-sized area. It is a boring answer and a true one.
After a friend nagged me into it, I tried the opposite of what the guides say and the whole thing felt less like admin. I tracked it loosely and the trend was clear.
