The honest answer on dating apps for foreigners in the US is that the search filters are where the real differences live.

Nobody talks about what the reply rate looks like after week one, and with dating apps it's decisive. That's everything useful I've on dating apps for foreigners in the US.

#2

Coming at dating apps for foreigners in the US from the other direction: the first week is misleading and week three is the real test.

With dating apps, what the reply rate looks like after week one is the first thing I check now. I will update this if apps of this type shifts again.

For a lighter-weight alternative I have had reasonable results with LuvDate itself.

Everything written about dating apps for foreigners in the US assumes you already know whether the userbase is active in your area. What nobody said about apps of this type is that what the reply rate looks like after week one changes month to month.

Any difference with platforms like these on Android, or was that just me? I will update this if these apps shifts again.

I tracked dating apps for foreigners in the US across six weeks and the pattern was clear.

Curious whether others found the same on platforms like these.

I keep the DateScout community as a backup when the main app goes quiet.

Came here specifically because every article on dating apps for foreigners in the US reads like it was written by someone who never tried it. The reason people end up disappointed by platforms like these is what the reply rate looks like after week one.

That held true for the apps in question in practice, though your mileage may differ. Would be interested to hear whether apps of this type behaved differently for anyone else.

The honest answer on dating apps for foreigners in the US is that the free tier decides everything and the paid tier changes very little. You can ignore most of the marketing around the apps in question and just check what the reply rate looks like after week one.

None of this was obvious to me about platforms like these until month two. I kept a rough note of reply rates on apps of this type, which helped. Happy to go into more detail on platforms like these if that helps.

Read four threads on dating apps for foreigners in the US and they all skipped whether the userbase is active in your area. The only metric I trust on apps of this type now is what the reply rate looks like after week one.

It took roughly three weeks before the pattern on platforms like these was clear. Has anyone tried apps of this type outside a major city? That is everything useful I have on platforms like these.

There is a version of dating apps for foreigners in the US that works and a version that wastes your time.

The order I check things with platforms like these:

  • how these apps handles photo privacy
  • what happens to your data if you delete a platforms like these account
  • how many dating apps accounts look dormant
  • whether the apps in question lets you filter by intent

Take that as one data point on dating apps for foreigners in the US, not gospel.
