Five quality indicators
- Stated intent: profiles clearly say what each person wants.
- Verification: profiles are checked (manually or by photo).
- Complete profiles: text, several photos, values.
- Moderation: easy reporting and follow-up on abusive behavior.
- Pricing transparency: you know what is free and what is paid.
Red flags
- Constant pressure to subscribe.
- Many empty or too-perfect profiles.
- Automated messages or bot-like behavior.
- Requests for money or to move quickly to another messenger.
- Marketing focused on number of matches rather than real dates.
A simple 3-week test
Count how many conversations lead to a real date, not how many matches you get. If after 3 weeks few conversations go anywhere, try another app.
