@Logan_837 — broadly with you, with one caveat: ever organized a group adult meet up through this forum is a reasonable default, but overall consistency is the thing that will decide whether you stay. Three weeks into the free plan the pattern was clear: the first message matters less than the timing, but I am only one sample. That setup rewards patience more than strategy, though it depends heavily on where you are, and the rest is detail. The thing that surprised me about ever organized a group adult meet up through this forum was how much the app is only as good as the local user pool.
Take that as one data point on ever organized a group adult meet up through this forum, not a verdict.
