Update 02/10/25: firstly, to the reviewer putting pressure on people who are fresh out of college, just starting their careers, and may be a FA, assistant, etc—you probs aren’t getting matched because you aren’t nice. Elite isn’t just elite schools and elite jobs - people are searching for peoppe of all sorts to compliment their lives rather than make their lives. Some people just want kind, ambitious, and intellectual people to date.
As for why I’m updating my review, I had a TERRIBLE experience. Again, I’m not sure how this person was approved, but my guess it that he pays for it. He is a great guy that deserves a great girl in his life, but I’m not looking to be a fixer. DWIs, mental health, living in his younger brother’s basement… yet 10 years older than me. It’s sad. I’d be a friend to him, but no. I don’t want to be a fixer. I’m interested in older men (I’m 25) for their maturity and intellect. I cannot handle fixing or having me be burnt out due to refueling another’s battery. This is what happens when people can pay their way in and “skip the line”.
Additionally, I still agree that there should be a feature that allows us to try premium too. I just graduated with both of my bachelors. I’m starting my life. I do not and will not pay this much money per week to see the many people that have liked my profile. You need women to equal out the men in your app. I’m sure that’s why I was approved after a short 12 hour waitlist. Regardless, “swiping left or right” for three people daily in hopes that they did for you is so slow moving. Also, I keep getting the same people. So, even when I follow my gut, I’m stuck with situations like above to remind me to stand my ground. But you don’t switch it up. Like really? I never online date. I never have. I didn’t like the idea of it for myself. I think opportunities to meet people are everywhere and shutting those down was a big part of my life when I was busy trying to get over obstacles and focus on the goal at hand. Now, I don’t have to do that… but I tried this just to see, and it’s really let me down. That’s just my experience though.
—————————
I never write reviews. I try to compliment when things are good but in this case, I’m just not enjoying this experience. Basically, this is just a very expensive platform of dating. So, if you’re fresh out of college, you probably can’t afford it. You need a plan to work the app. Otherwise, you are given a 3 options (at least for the ladies) - and that’s if you’re selected… whether that be interesting enough or cute enough or something enough… I was waitlisted for 12 hours. I was very surprised to have gotten in. But if you don’t, you can pay to “skip the line” and get an automatic yes into the university of The League (not actually a university but feels that way). I see that I have multiple people liking my profile, but they are blurred. On my iPhone, not in the app, I can see a small photo of the person, but when in the app, everything - including the count of people - is blurred. So, without paying $99 weekly, you won’t know who is limit you and what your options are. And everyday you get three tries… only three. It just seems like a weird game. I can’t message anyone. I don’t know how to. It’s not very user friendly in that aspect for those without a subscription. Unfortunately, that’s not an option for me right now. I only found out I graduated early one week ago. I had zero clue. But I’m ready to move around and meet people but I don’t know who is liking my page… and it feels like I’m on a paid version of the Bachelor. But we will see… I mean, if they at least had trials to use to better understand the likes—whether the numbers below certain pages represent new likes or if that’s the total of people who’ve liked you the entire duration? That’d be helpful… but only if I pay for a subscription...
But I’ll update this! I was going to give 2 stars, but I’ll give 3 because they quickly added me… but idk. It deserves 2. I have zero clue now this works.
