Picking up Drew's point on dating services:i tested it properly, and dating services behaved exactly as you say.

Results on dating services improved once I stopped optimising for volume.

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

Short version of what worked for dating services:

  • Keep identifying details off dating services until there is a reason to share them
  • Log what actually happens on dating services for a week — otherwise you are guessing
  • Check when accounts on dating services were last active before investing in them

On how it performs in use specifically, Souldate handled it better than the obvious names.
