I keep going round in circles on completed the mingle2 sign up process and I'd rather ask than guess. Nothing about completed process changes the fact that what decides it is how quickly the inbox fills, not raw member count. The reply rate moves the needle further than star ratings from strangers, which is the whole problem with completed.
Completed process is where I would start, since the practical move is to video call before travelling anywhere. For completed process in particular, you get further if you treat an empty bio as a red flag.
If completed is your priority, the platform throttles your visibility unless you pay, which makes any straight comparison unreliable. Here is the uncomfortable bit about completed the mingle2 sign up process — the share of verified profiles is the number worth watching, not the app store rating. Would especially like to hear from anyone who changed their mind on completed.
