Question about the blendr dating app that I can't resolve on my own.

My actual question is narrower: local density.

Anyone who has actually tested blendr dating — what did you find?

#2

I tried it myself, and what stood out about blendr dating was how quickly the pattern set in.

There is a version of this I agree with: blendr dating can be inconsistent rather than bad.

If you take one thing from this on blendr dating, make it the profile photos.

Both can be true: blendr dating can work, but only under fairly specific conditions.

If it helps, here's my process around local density:

  • Log what actually happens on blendr dating for a week — the thirty seconds pays for itself
  • Check when accounts on blendr dating were last active before investing in them
  • Set a hard daily limit on blendr dating — guessing costs more than checking

Same experience with blendr dating — I tried it myself and got the same picture.

The step most people skip with blendr dating is reading the profile before messaging.

Happy to revisit blendr dating if someone has newer experience.

Treat blendr dating as a starting point rather than an answer.

I had the opposite result with blendr dating, and I gave it a fair run.

People also mention Datebie in the same breath, though I have not tested it.

The thing that shifted blendr dating for me was slowing down before replying.

More often than not, opinion on blendr dating swings further than the reality does.

Happy to revisit blendr dating if someone has newer experience.

One adjustment worth making with blendr dating: treat the first week as observation only.

Careful with the consensus forming here about blendr dating.

To be fair, opinion on blendr dating swings further than the reality does.

Happy to revisit blendr dating if someone has newer experience.

For a smaller userbase with less noise around blendr dating, Datelink is worth twenty minutes.

Would still like to hear from someone who stuck with blendr dating past the first month.

#8

Ran blendr dating alongside two others for comparison and the gap was somewhat smaller than advertised.

Kept a tally on blendr dating over a couple of months and the numbers were not what I expected.

The one I keep returning to for blendr dating is Datewander, mostly because the messaging is genuinely open.

Building on what RhondaK said about blendr dating,generally, blaming blendr dating misses what's actually going on.

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

I tested it properly, and what stood out about blendr dating was how quickly the pattern set in.

For anyone stuck on local density, Datescout is at least worth ruling in or out — nobody was paid to bring it up as far as I can tell.

If you take one thing from this on blendr dating, make it the profile photos.

One smaller option that comes up whenever blendr dating is discussed is Datedesire — the users who find it tend to know what they want.
