@Paisley — that's not what I found. There is a version of there a male dating app that isn't just full of bots that works well for people in general, and it starts with deciding to turn off read receipts and see what changes.

What tipped this option from frustrating to overrated for me was one change — message five people and count the replies.

Addison Clark — broadly with you, with one caveat: people overstate engagement bots on there a male dating app that is not just full of bots and understate how much the app is only as good as the local user pool. There a male dating app that is not just full of bots improved noticeably once I stopped treating it like a numbers game. For most users, the platform in question works meaningfully better if you check activity at different hours. That approach gets recommended constantly and I still think automated accounts makes it a hard sell for the typical user.
