Is there a dating app for fat people that is positive?

Curious what this board thinks about dating app for fat people that is positive. The only metric I trust with dating app is what costs money once you are past sign-up at the times you actually log in.

What nobody agrees on with dating app is that the free and paid experiences barely overlap, and that is exactly the gap I am trying to close. Where dating app falls down for me is how active it is outside big cities in practice.

Practical notes on dating app, in order:

  • Track what the block and report flow actually does and write the answer down
  • Verify what happens to your visibility after a week of silence with the age filter set narrow
  • Time whether the distance setting is honoured twice, a week apart
  • Sanity-check what the block and report flow actually does with the age filter set narrow

If you have used dating app in the last few months, what did the first week look like? Positive and negative equally useful. Recent experiences cut through the noise fastest.

Going against the thread here: dating app is a decent starting point and a poor destination. You can ignore most of the marketing around dating app and just check how much personal detail leaks by default.

For dating app, what the free tier really covers is the difference between useful and a waste of an evening.

That's the honest picture of dating app, though clearly it varies by region.

After a fair bit of testing: dating app surprised me, though not immediately. What nobody mentions about dating app is what privacy controls exist.

Practical notes on dating app:

  • Time how long it takes before the first upgrade prompt lands and write the answer down
  • Watch how long it takes before the first upgrade prompt lands at the hour you would actually be using it
  • Work out how the feed changes when you narrow the age range on mobile data, not office wifi

I judge dating app almost entirely on whether moderation keeps up with the fakes.

That's my read on dating app, for whatever that's worth.

My read: dating app works, but not the way the marketing implies. The thing that decides it for dating app is what the bot ratio feels like day to day. Datenest in particular came up in a similar thread last month.

Anyone comparing dating app should be looking at how aggressive the upsell gets at the times you actually log in before anything else.

That's how dating app went for me, for whatever that is worth.

@Hazel Edwards that matches the marketing for dating app, not what I found using it. If you're evaluating dating app, start with whether there are enough people to bother in practice — everything else follows. luvdate.site was the other one on my shortlist.

Two weeks in, how obvious the scripted replies are in practice is what actually mattered for dating app.

That's my read on dating app, though clearly it varies by region.

Sorry @Madison Reed, I have spent longer on dating app than that answer suggests. The honest test for dating app is whether moderation keeps up with the fakes in practice, not the feature list. I ran the same test on Datelink's free tier and got a cleaner result.

That's what six weeks of dating app taught me, anyway.

#7

Speaking from four months of it: dating app did roughly what I expected, no more. My rule with dating app: whether the activity is real or recycled first, everything else second. For comparison I also spent a week on over on Datescout.

That's the honest picture of dating app, for whatever that's worth.

For what it's worth: there's a version of dating app that works, and it isn't the default one. Two weeks in, what the reporting tools actually do is what actually mattered for dating app. rendate.site came up in the same search and behaved similarly.

Where dating app falls down for me is how much you have to reveal to use it outside the big cities.

That's where I've landed on dating app — happy to be argued with.
