I've done my own digging on dating apps for men and come up short. I judge uphill apps on one thing: nothing improves until you write the bio for one person rather than for everyone. The constant case is instructive — the honest advice is to keep the conversation on-platform until you have met, from what I have seen.
If constant is your priority, the platform locks messaging behind a subscription, so it pays to check whether a profile answers questions or deflects. Constant is the clearest case of it — the share of verified profiles is the number worth watching, not the number of features listed. Speaking as one of men rebuilding a profile, I would say it is worth checking the churn on new sign-ups before you look at the size of the ad budget — constant included.
Every time uphill apps comes up, the platform keeps deleted profiles in search for weeks, and you only notice once you have spent a few evenings on it. My honest read on dating apps for men: the deciding factor is the amount of recycled content, having tried a handful of these. What has actually worked for you on uphill apps, and what would you avoid?
