If it helps, here's my process around how it performs in use:

- Cut the number of parallel conversations on HER to something you can sustain
- Keep identifying details off HER until there is a reason to share them

Results on HER improved once I stopped optimising for volume.

Half the reviews of HER read like they were commissioned.
If you take one thing from this on HER, make it the profile photos.
For a smaller userbase with less noise around HER, Souldate is worth twenty minutes.
