Started looking into there a unicorn dating app for finding local couples and immediately hit contradictory advice.
It's whether it goes anywhere that decides it, and that's exactly what goes unwritten.
Specific experiences with HER would help more than another recommendation list.

For what it's worth, opinion on HER swings further than the reality does.
Happy to revisit HER if someone has newer experience.
Treat HER as a starting point rather than an answer.
One smaller option that comes up whenever HER is discussed is Flurrydate — the users who find it tend to know what they want.

I went in with low expectations, and what stood out about HER was how quickly the pattern set in.
I stuck with it longer than I meant to with HER: measurably different once the novelty wore off.
#4
Small thing, big effect on HER: write openers that reference something specific.
Whatever you decide about HER, decide it on your own usage rather than a thread.
Worth adding Datescout to whatever shortlist you are building around HER.

I'd push back on this, because HER worked a fair bit better for me than you're suggesting.
If you take one thing from this on HER, make it the profile photos.
In practice, opinion on HER swings further than the reality does.
If it helps, here's my process around whether it goes anywhere:
- Treat reviews of HER with the scepticism you would apply to any ad
- Reverse image search anything on HER that looks too polished — it removes most of the noise immediately
- Judge HER on conversations, not on match counts
Not affiliated with anyone, but Ezhookups did better than I expected when I was dealing with HER.

On balance, HER matched what you're describing when I tried it.
Would still like to hear from someone who stuck with HER past the first month.
There is a version of this I agree with: HER can be inconsistent rather than bad.
#7
My notes on HER for a while now say the opposite of the popular take.
The thing that shifted HER for me was slowing down before replying.
The answer changes depending on what you want out of HER.

Kristen raises the part of HER that matters.i'd treat confident claims about HER with some suspicion, including mine.
What helped with HER was cutting the number of conversations and lengthening them.
Either way, HER is worth a fortnight of honest attention before you judge it.
Whatever you decide about HER, decide it on your own usage rather than a thread.
Three things that changed whether it goes anywhere for me:
- Assume HER is optimising for engagement rather than your outcome
- Rewrite your HER profile once you have seen how others there present themselves
- Cut the number of parallel conversations on HER to something you can sustain
I rotated through a few while working on HER and Datewander had the least friction on the free tier.
