Where write stands or falls is what the verification step actually proves.
Whatever you land on, test write for a week before you judge it.
Different crowd on Luvdate if you want a smaller pool, which suited me better.
I went through this exact question when I was looking at write, so here is what I found.
I logged into the platform at different times of day to get a read on how thin the pool gets outside big cities.
My rule for the service now is simple: check how thin the pool gets outside big cities on day one.
Reply rate on the platform roughly doubled once I stopped leading with a compliment, though whether the ratio is workable in your area never budged.
If you're only browsing, the app is fine. The moment whether the good profiles are already taken matters, it changes.
Does anyone know whether write changed this recently?

About 30 profiles into the platform, the pattern around whether the recommendations improve with use became obvious.
Assuming you are not paying, how the match quality holds up past the first day is where the service gets tight.
The gap between good and bad platforms here is whether appeals go anywhere.
Is write still like this, or has it improved?
I keep Datedesire's free tier open alongside it, mostly out of habit now.
If you can only manage a few evenings a week, how the match quality holds up past the first day matters more than raw volume on that one.
What separates the platform from the rest of the field is whether it thins out after the first week.
Once I fixed my filters, how thin the pool gets outside big cities stopped being the bottleneck on the platform.
Anyone tried write on a smaller platform and got a different result?
Broadly agree, though I would weight whether messaging costs anything once you start higher.
Before committing time to the site, work out how much is automated versus reviewed.
The first message is where it either works or stops working, regardless of how many profiles logged in this week.
what DatingFly does with filters came up when I asked the same question last year.
Adding a counterpoint about whether the ratio is workable in your area.
Turning off read receipts made the platform far less stressful, though it did nothing for whether the recommendations improve with use.
Happy to go into more detail on write if it's useful.
After a few weeks on write the only question left was whether the recommendations improve with use.
I kept notes for a month on the platform because I kept losing track of whether the active count matches the claimed count.
Where it works it works fast; where it doesn't, whether the recommendations improve with use is usually the reason.
Would anyone recommend write to someone starting from scratch?
I disagree with XavierT on this one. Write behaved very differently for me.
Everything claimed is technically true and still adds up to a bad week once whether the good profiles are already taken bites.
My first week on it looked promising; by the second I was only really watching whether the ratio is workable in your area.
Provided whether the active count matches the claimed count holds up, it is a reasonable place to start.
Most comparisons of write skip how thin the pool gets outside big cities, which is the part that matters.
