seems to have a much higher 'standard' of clientele (looks-wise, what else can you realistically judge on these apps) than for instance tinder, but as a result the girls seem a lot more choosey. i've had the occasional match but yet to actually meet anyone from it. using it makes you realise how shit most chicks are at opening a conversation with anything half interesting/funny too, you still have to do a lot of the work.
functionality-wise I actually prefer it to tinder, the UI and stability seems a lot better, they could learn a few things.
UK/london for what it's worth, maybe a lot of the single women here are just dullards
- also the 24hr match expiry concept is interesting but since most won't be using it daily it should probably be tweaked somehowtrue_cut
- A lot seem to be adopting that 24hr thing. I get the idea, but in reality its just annoying.formed
- a basic improvement would be to start the timer from when they next open the app/go on your profile, but maybe that is tricky to implement properlytrue_cut

No UI, design concept or anything can change the fact women are much less interested than men in meeting potential partners among strangers using software
- agree with the basic sentiment for reasons too complex to go in to on a note, but then why bother downloading/using it in the first place?true_cut
- Most dating apps try to add power, control and safety to women. But that's not going to change. Focus on interaction and stop focusing on sex roles.sr_rosa

Yea, no one is matching actually. wtf? I'm pretty normal looking.

I tried it and must have swiped right on 500 people just for kicks. Got 2 matches that were whatever and neither even messaged. Then I Googled some women and I think they were in other parts of the country. So they are showing you girls from all over that will never be near you.

- How do you "google" them when you don't know their names? I've gotten decent results so far.formed
- ^ it lists their first name and most of the time college and workplace. Not too much work.omahadesigns
- ^ "I've gotten decent results so far." Did they message you?omahadesigns
- Yes, severalformed
- I'd say it's a little better than Tinder and Hinge, so far (only been using it for a few weeks though).formed
- It does seemed stacked, though, as MHDC noted. Every day there's a pile of extremely beautiful chicks on top, which seems highly improbable.formed

I've noticed a common trend of girls who look like models on there. I then talked to a few people who are are friends with some of them on there, and they told me think a lot of them are essentially paid to be on there.
Great way to cheat on the metrics, and to waste your time

Tried it, many swipes, few matches. Not the best matches. Weak opening messages. What am I supposed to do with a "Hi"? Then I respond to see if they have anything interesting to say and they send boring response to that and she has nothing to say.
Talking to strangers online is bad if you don't have too much in common and they just are thinking about considering meeting people.
