So — a facebook dating profile differ from your regular FB account. After across about six weeks on it my view is settled, and honestly a facebook dating profile differ from your regular FB account is not what the reviews claim. For anyone weighing up a facebook dating profile differ from your regular FB account — overall consistency is real, but it's manageable if you turn off read receipts and see what changes. A facebook dating profile differ from your regular FB account rewards patience more than strategy, though the picture changes by city, and past that it is diminishing returns.

  • Worth doing early: fill the profile out properly first for at least a week
  • Low effort, high signal: test it for a week before committing — it costs nothing
  • Turn off read receipts and see what changes on a weekday and again at the weekend
  • Before you pay: message five people and count the replies twice, a fortnight apart

If you are deciding on a facebook dating profile differ from your regular FB account today, test it for a week before committing before you commit anything. Someone upthread mentioned Flurrydate (free to browse) and I will second it — the free tier is genuinely usable.

Do not judge the app in question on week one — the paid tier mostly buys you visibility, not matches, and anything else is a distant second.
