How free dating in Ballarat actually works

Set your radius to something realistic for Ballarat first. A tight radius in a dense part of Ballarat gives better results than a wide one that pulls in people you would never actually travel to meet.
Photos matter more than the bio in Ballarat, but the bio decides who in Ballarat messages you. One clear face photo, one full-length, one doing something you actually do — that is enough for Ballarat.
