I've been reading around rich dating app options that don't require an invitation for a couple of weeks and the advice contradicts itself.

I care mostly about how alive the pool is, if that changes the answer. Any firsthand experience with rich dating app options that don't require an invitation would help.

Dylan is right, and I would add one thing. once I stopped worrying about what comes of it, rich dating got a lot simpler. The honest tradeoff with rich dating is whether the effort pays off against convenience. Most of the frustration with rich dating traces back to the setup.

Nobody warns you that rich dating depends so heavily on whether the users are genuine. I'd put whether people actually reply above almost everything else when it comes to rich dating. Anyway, that is my read on rich dating app options that don't require an invitation.

The rules I settled on for rich dating:

  • check how active your area is before you invest time before you judge rich dating
  • meet somewhere public and busy the first time if rich dating is the goal
  • stay on the platform for the first few exchanges when it comes to rich dating
  • allow at least a week before deciding anything about rich dating

None of it is complicated, and it is what rich dating came down to.

Not sure I buy that, Chelsea. once I stopped worrying about what people get out of it, rich dating got a lot simpler. The part people underrate about rich dating is the learning curve.

I would put the profile quality above almost everything else when it comes to rich dating.

Concretely, for rich dating:

  • plan for three weeks before deciding anything about rich dating
  • treat an empty profile as a pass while you are testing rich dating
