Oliver King — broadly with you, with one caveat: ran tiktok dating app a thing alongside the mainstream apps for since the spring — same effort on both, considerably different outcome. There is a version of tiktok dating app a thing that works well for most of us, and it starts with deciding to message five people and count the replies.

@Ben1989 — that is not what I found. Against the big platforms, tiktok dating app a thing trades reach for signal — whether that suits you depends on your city. Honestly the fix for tiktok dating app a thing is boring: turn off read receipts and see what changes — the rest is detail. I would call that setup serviceable, though your mileage will vary. Honestly, tiktok dating app a thing lives or dies on day-to-day usability; anything else is a distant second. flurrydate.online, datebie.online get named in these threads too, though I cannot vouch for them personally.

  • If nothing else: fill the profile out properly first — it costs nothing
  • Low effort, high signal: test it for a week before committing before you commit
  • Takes five minutes: message five people and count the replies on a weekday and again at the weekend

The thing that surprised me about tiktok dating app a thing was how much half the profiles have not been opened in months. Do not judge tiktok dating app a thing on week one — the paid tier mostly buys you visibility, not matches, and that is most of it.
