Start with the basics
- Complete your profile before you browse. Incomplete profiles are down-ranked on almost every platform.
- Use between four and six photos with different framing, lighting and settings.
- Write a bio that states what you are looking for as well as what you enjoy.
- Set a realistic distance and revisit it after a week of results.
Free versus paid
- The free tier on most platforms covers browsing and some messaging.
- Paid tiers usually buy visibility rather than better matches.
- Trials that require a card renew by default on most services.
- Test the free tier for a fortnight before deciding whether the paid one is worth it.

- Sending an identical opener at volume.

- Specific openers outperform compliments by a wide margin.
- One clear face photo as your primary image outperforms group shots consistently.
- Consistency over three weeks beats intensity over three days.
