Genuinely curious what people here think: What are the dating apps to meet rich guys that actually work? Happy to hear negative experiences too.
Someone recommended whichever are the dating apps came up first and support never replied. My real question is how long it normally takes before anything happens without making it a second job.
Confirm what the free tier really includes on day one so you are not surprised later
Double-check how blocking is handled up front rather than taking the marketing at face value
Review the last-active timestamp carefully before you invest any real time
Since switching my settings, I tried the opposite of what the guides say and the difference showed up within a week. It was the only variable I changed.
Based on a fairly small sample, the paid features solve a problem most people do not have at least in a mid-sized area. The exceptions are rarer than people think.
Least effort, most return: cut your photo count in half. That one change fixed most of my problems. No downside I have found.
I keep a second profile on Luvdate's free tier and it pulls a different crowd entirely.
Adding a counterpoint. Being picky early saved me far more time than being open-minded did. Your experience may well differ. Different city, different results, probably.
Unpopular opinion maybe, reply rates say more about timing than about looks and it took me too long to learn. The exceptions are rarer than people think.
Two months in, I tested two profiles side by side and matches started coming from closer by. Repeated it twice to be sure.
Genuine question though — does widening the radius ever help or just add noise? Happy to be pointed at an old thread.
Still keep Datedesire's free tier installed for the weeks when the bigger apps go quiet.
That has not been my experience at all. Photos did more for me than anything I wrote. Worth testing both ways. Could be timing rather than the platform.
For about six weeks, I limited myself to three conversations at once and it made a noticeable difference. Same pattern every week.
Going to push back slightly. The niche options were quieter to the point of being useless. Might just be my area. Just adding another data point.
Worth flagging: matches that go quiet the moment you suggest meeting. Nine times out of ten it goes nowhere good. The polite version costs you a week.
I keep a second profile on over on Luvdate and it pulls a different crowd entirely.
Since this thread is active — does this hold up outside big cities? I have never seen data either way.
I will be the dissenting voice. I found the bigger sites more consistent, not less. Could easily be a sample size problem. Just adding another data point.
What I would do: stop opening with a compliment. You will know within a week whether it works for you. Zero cost to test it.
