Been quietly reading for a while, but a male dating app that isn't 99% bots and "professional" profiles is the thing I actually need an answer on. For the members answering here, fake profiles is the whole question with male dating app.

I have about a month of using the free end of the market behind me and not much to show for it. For regulars here, the male dating app experience lives or dies on bot accounts and almost nothing else.

Concretely, for male dating app:

  • Give male dating app a fortnight of daily use before calling automated engagement bait a dealbreaker
  • Treat your first male dating app profile as a draft, because the scam side of it punishes lazy ones
  • Message within a day of matching — on male dating app that window closes fast
  • Do not move off male dating app into private messaging until automated engagement bait looks handled

If you have tried a male dating app that isn't 99% bots and "professional" profiles recently, I would rather hear that than read another review site.

Where I differ from Aaron Brooks on male dating app: disagree, because blaming obviously unreal accounts lets you off the hook — my male dating app results improved when my profile did. The pattern I see with male dating app is that fake profiles is fine early and degrades as you go.

The thing people underrate about male dating app is how much bot accounts depends on your own city. What changed my results on male dating app was treating bot accounts as a filtering problem rather than a platform problem. Either way, bot accounts is the thing I would test first on male dating app.

Agreed, although with male dating app I would frame profiles that never survive a video call as a symptom rather than the cause. For people who have actually tried it, the male dating app experience lives or dies on automated engagement bait and almost nothing else.

The thing people underrate about male dating app is how much automated engagement bait depends on your own city. Most of the noise about male dating app comes from people measuring the scam side of it over far too short a window. If automated engagement bait is your main worry with male dating app, test it in the first week rather than the first month.

Same experience on male dating app: I gave it six weeks before the catfish problem got tiresome. What changed my results on male dating app was treating the catfish problem as a filtering problem rather than a platform problem.

For people who have actually tried it, the male dating app experience lives or dies on fake profiles and almost nothing else.

Whatever you pick, judge male dating app on bot accounts after a month rather than after a weekend.

Where I differ from Brent Olson on male dating app: that feels too harsh on male dating app, given the catfish problem is a problem across free dating apps rather than specific to it.

For regulars here, the male dating app experience lives or dies on scripted messages and almost nothing else. There is no version of male dating app where fake profiles sorts itself out without you doing something.

I keep Luvdate open as a control while testing male dating app — useful for judging bot accounts honestly.

@WillK makes a fair point about male dating app, but reading this back, my male dating app notes say almost the same thing about scripted messages.

I judge male dating app by one thing now: whether scripted messages improves or worsens once you're past the novelty. What changed my results on male dating app was treating obviously unreal accounts as a filtering problem rather than a platform problem.

Others asking about male dating app have named ezhookups.online, souldate.site.

I will push back here, because male dating app worked fine for me and bot accounts was never the issue. You can work around obviously unreal accounts on male dating app, but you have to be deliberate about it.

Not saying male dating app suits everyone, but it is not the disaster this thread implies.

Mia Thornton put the male dating app case better than I would have, though i would argue the opposite on male dating app: bot accounts is the one thing it handles better than free platforms. For most people in this thread, the male dating app experience lives or dies on automated engagement bait and almost nothing else.

I keep two accounts running to compare bot accounts across free dating apps, and male dating app sits mid-table. You can work around the scam side of it on male dating app, but you have to be deliberate about it.

Somebody in another male dating app thread pointed me at Rendate and it held up better than expected on obviously unreal accounts.
