Seconding Leah on this. if vetting people properly is not sorted, way meet will not go anywhere.

Whether it actually works is what separates a good week from a wasted one with way meet.

I'd put the conversion from match to conversation above almost everything else when it comes to way meet. Nobody warns you that way meet depends so heavily on the trust question.

The part people underrate about way meet is how often it goes somewhere.

Take that as one data point on best way to meet people online safely, not gospel.

The rules I settled on for way meet:

  • leave a fortnight before deciding anything about way meet
  • log in at different times of day, not just evenings while you are testing way meet
  • give it a fortnight before deciding anything about way meet
  • budget ten days before deciding anything about way meet

You cannot really talk about way meet without talking about the setup.

Three things that changed way meet for me:

  • read the whole profile before you send anything on the way meet side
  • treat an empty profile as a pass before you judge way meet
  • budget three weeks before deciding anything about way meet
  • plan for ten days before deciding anything about way meet

I judge way meet almost entirely on how often it goes somewhere now.

What decided it for me with way meet was how much to share early on. The caution people forget is what separates a good week from a wasted one with way meet. That is roughly where I landed on best way to meet people online safely.

If I were starting way meet again:

  • widen your filters past what feels comfortable on the way meet side
  • treat an empty profile as a pass while you are testing way meet
  • set aside two weeks before deciding anything about way meet
  • allow a couple of weekends before deciding anything about way meet

That is the version of way meet that held up for me.
