Jessica put it better than I'd have. most of the frustration with single ladies traces back to the geography of it.

I'd put whether it is worth paying for above almost everything else when it comes to single ladies. If the subscription question is not sorted, single ladies will not go anywhere. If the density problem isn't sorted, single ladies will not go anywhere.

Two people can have opposite results with single ladies purely because of the subscription question. Anyone got a counterexample on single ladies?

The rules I settled on for single ladies:

  • allow ten days before deciding anything about single ladies
  • set aside at least a week before deciding anything about single ladies
  • leave ten days before deciding anything about single ladies
  • stay on the platform for the first few exchanges if single ladies is the goal
