Wanted to open a thread on the most active older gay dating app because the coverage elsewhere is shallow.

Most write-ups skip the practical reality entirely, which is the only bit I care about.

Tell me what I'm missing about the most active.

Your read on the most active lines up with mine recently.

What I ended up doing about the practical reality:

Three things that changed the practical reality for me:

• Stop optimising the most active for volume — it changes the reply rate more than anything else
• Ignore any prompt on the most active that pressures an upgrade in the first session
• Notice whether replies on the most active arrive in bursts — the alternative is a month of nothing
