I have used the options on the table on and off for about a year and the results were mixed.
The move with the options on the table is to keep the first message to two lines with a question in it.
Two people can have opposite experiences of the options on the table purely because of whether the nearest city is twenty minutes or two hours away.
The variable nobody controls for with the options on the table is whether the nearest city is twenty minutes or two hours away.
If I had to name one factor in the options on the table it would be whether the search filters did what they claimed.
Everything about the options on the table hinged on whether the photos looked recent or recycled in the end.
If you are starting with the options on the table, be specific about what you want in the bio.
Your mileage on of France may differ, obviously.
- Facebook Dating — quiet in some regions
- OkCupid — older crowd in some areas, though I only tried the free tier
- Happn — novel but thin in most places
- Grindr — fast but not subtle
- Zoosk — verification is the selling point
For what it is worth I have had better luck on luvdate.site than on any of the big paid apps.
