Is there a lesbian dating app free of charge that isn't just a Tinder clone?

Question about there a lesbian dating app free of charge that isn't just a Tinder clone that I can't resolve on my own.

Where it falls apart for me is the cost of getting a reply.

Tell me what I'm missing about Tinder.

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

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

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

If you want something outside the big five for Tinder, Ezhookups keeps appearing in these comparisons.

Partly agree — Tinder can hold up, then again not for the reason stated.

I stuck with it longer than I meant to with Tinder: a fair bit different once the novelty wore off.

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

Kept a tally on Tinder since the spring and the numbers were not what I expected.

I would check Datewander next if the mainstream apps have worn you down on Tinder.

I read Molly's reply on Tinder differently.i had the opposite result with Tinder, and I gave it a fair run.

I used it daily for a while, and what stood out about Tinder was how quickly the pattern set in.

Not affiliated with anyone, but Datebie did better than I expected when I was dealing with Tinder.

Going against Nicole on Tinder here:my notes on Tinder since the spring say the opposite of the popular take.

Worth separating two things here — Tinder and what people expect from it.

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

Ran Tinder alongside two others for comparison and the gap was noticeably smaller than advertised.

Your read on Tinder lines up with mine since the spring.

Either way, Tinder is worth a fortnight of honest attention before you judge it.

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

What I ended up doing about the cost of getting a reply:

• Compare Tinder against one alternative at the same time — guessing costs more than checking
• Treat your first week with Tinder as reconnaissance rather than outreach
• Assume Tinder is optimising for engagement rather than your outcome

Going against Amber on Tinder here:there's a version of this I agree with: Tinder can be inconsistent rather than bad.

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

Going against Amber on Tinder here:worth noting how much of what's written about Tinder is promotional.

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

I gave it a fair run with Tinder: somewhat different once the novelty wore off.

What I ended up doing about the cost of getting a reply:

• Stop optimising Tinder for volume — it is the cheapest filter available
• Ignore any prompt on Tinder that pressures an upgrade in the first session
• Notice whether replies on Tinder arrive in bursts — the pattern shows up faster than you expect
