Gina is right, and I'd add one thing. i judge zero matches almost entirely on the free-vs-paid gap now. Nobody warns you that zero matches depend so heavily on the pricing question.

What decided it for me with zero matches were the hit rate. Nobody warns you that zero matches depend so heavily on whether it leads anywhere.

What I actually do about zero matches:

  • leave a full month before deciding anything about zero matches
  • keep one clear, current photo of your face on the zero matches side
  • keep expectations low for the first fortnight if zero matches is the goal
  • hold your number back until you have actually met specifically for zero matches

Jasmine makes a fair point but I read it differently. nobody warns you that zero matches depend so heavily on the money side of it.

My checklist for zero matches:

  • give it a full month before deciding anything about zero matches
  • give it a solid month before deciding anything about zero matches
  • run one platform properly instead of five badly if zero matches is the goal
  • reply inside a day or the thread goes cold on the zero matches side
