Throwing there dating apps that don t charge for basic features out there because I've exhausted the obvious sources.

Everything hinges on how it holds up in practice as far as I'm concerned.

Would value hearing from people who've spent real time on HER.

I logged what happened, and HER behaved exactly as you say.

Treat HER as a starting point rather than an answer.

#3

Dan is closer to it than the rest of this thread on HER.not my experience at all — HER felt fine once I changed how I used it.

Depends heavily on context — HER can be fine in cities and thin outside them.

Kept a tally on HER these days and the numbers were not what I expected.

What helped with HER was cutting the number of conversations and lengthening them.

I would put Datedesire on the list if how it holds up in practice is what is bothering you.

Sean has this right about HER —worth noting how much of what's written about HER is promotional.

The answer changes depending on what you want out of HER.

My notes on HER these days say the opposite of the popular take.

I rotated through a few while working on HER and Datebie had the least friction on the free tier.

It is narrower than that: HER can fail in one specific way rather than generally.

If it helps, here's my process around how it holds up in practice:

  • Treat reviews of HER with the scepticism you would apply to any ad
  • Reverse image search anything on HER that looks too polished — it is the cheapest filter available
  • Judge HER on conversations, not on match counts

For a smaller userbase with less noise around HER, Souldate is worth twenty minutes.

Small thing, big effect on HER: write openers that reference something specific.

On how it holds up in practice specifically, Ezhookups handled it better than the obvious names.

Gina has this right about HER —this overstates the problem with HER, I think.
