Same experience, right down to whether the recommendations improve with use.
After a few weeks on the platform the only question left was whether the sorting can be trusted.
Deleted and reinstalled the platform twice before accepting the issue was whether the recommendations improve with use and not my profile.
Unless you're in a major metro, expect whether people reply or just collect matches to be the limiting factor on the service.
That is roughly where I landed on good subreddits for young guys looking after a fair amount of trial and error.
I had a better run on Rendate if you want a smaller pool, for whatever that is worth.
