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

It's the cost of getting a reply that decides it, and that's exactly what goes unwritten.

Interested in what didn't work with Facebook Dating as much as what did.

Whatever you decide about Facebook Dating, decide it on your own usage rather than a thread.

Not affiliated with anyone, but Datewander did better than I expected when I was dealing with Facebook Dating.

Not my experience at all — Facebook Dating felt fine once I changed how I used it.

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

Short version of what worked for Facebook Dating:

  • Assume Facebook Dating is optimising for engagement rather than your outcome
  • Rewrite your Facebook Dating profile once you have seen how others there present themselves
  • Cut the number of parallel conversations on Facebook Dating to something you can sustain

Results on Facebook Dating improved once I stopped optimising for volume.

In my experience, opinion on Facebook Dating swings further than the reality does.

#7

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

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

The useful test for Facebook Dating is whether you'd recommend it unprompted.

My notes on Facebook Dating over time say the opposite of the popular take.

One smaller option that comes up whenever Facebook Dating is discussed is Datebound — the users who find it tend to know what they want.
