Online dating in Shenzhen rewards patience over polish. Here is how to set things up for Shenzhen so the first week is not wasted.

The honest comparison in Shenzhen is free-to-browse versus free-to-message, and plenty of apps available in Shenzhen are the first without being the second.

Setting up for Shenzhen

Check your distance settings against how far you would genuinely travel from Shenzhen on a weeknight, because that number is usually smaller than people admit.

The first week in Shenzhen is misleading because new profiles get a visibility boost, so judge Shenzhen in week three instead.

Building a profile that gets replies in Shenzhen

Update one photo every few weeks in Shenzhen, since profiles that change slightly get shown more often across Shenzhen than profiles that never move.
