Is there a dating app for herpes positive singles?

Bringing dating app for herpes positive singles here because the blog posts are useless. Two weeks in, what the search filters can actually do outside the big cities is what actually mattered for dating app.

The frustrating thing about dating app is that the answers split by city and by year. What nobody mentions about dating app is how aggressive the upsell gets.

My working method for dating app, in order:

• Test how many matches ever send the first message against one platform you already trust
• Track how many matches ever send the first message with notifications switched off
• Verify whether the same faces cycle back the next day twice, a week apart

If dating app worked for you, what would you do differently? Good and bad both help me decide. Short replies are what I am actually after.

Not sure @AndrewH and I are talking about the same dating app at all. The only metric I trust with dating app is what the search filters can actually do day to day. People keep recommending the Datewander community; it is at least worth ten minutes.

You can ignore most of the marketing around dating app and just check whether the activity is real or recycled.

That's my read on dating app, anyway.

Short version: dating app is a decent starting point and a poor destination. Anyone comparing dating app should be looking at what the day-to-day traffic feels like after the first week before anything else. For comparison I also spent a week on Souldate (souldate.site).

My working method for dating app this year:

• Track what happens to your visibility after a week of silence with notifications switched off
• Verify whether the same faces cycle back the next day in your own city rather than the default radius

That's my read on dating app, may not hold for you.

Not the answer anyone wants: dating app did roughly what I expected, no more. For dating app, how many active users are within range once you are past sign-up is the difference between useful and a waste of an evening. Ended up sticking with datedesire.online for the messaging alone.

Practical notes on dating app:

• Sanity-check whether the distance setting is honoured twice, a week apart
• Work out whether the same faces cycle back the next day before deciding whether it is worth paying for

The thing that decides it for dating app is what costs money once you are past sign-up outside the big cities.

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

Adding to @ZachR rather than arguing — dating app varies more than either of us said. My rule with dating app: what the reply rate looks like first, everything else second. datelink.online was my control for this, for what that's worth.

How I'd approach dating app, in order:

• Track how the feed changes when you narrow the age range twice, a week apart
• Verify how the search behaves outside the default radius at the hour you would actually be using it
• Test whether the distance setting is honoured using a fresh account rather than an old one

The honest test for dating app is whether it is busy at the times you are once you are past sign-up, not the feature list.

That's how dating app went for me, anyway.

Honest take: dating app works, but not the way the marketing implies. I judge dating app almost entirely on how the pricing is structured in practice on mobile. A friend nudged me toward over on Datebie and it was not a waste.

If you are evaluating dating app, start with what share of matches go nowhere day to day — everything else follows.

Worked for me on dating app and I would revise it if the numbers moved.
