Memberships, are they worth it?

  It's really up to you to decide that for yourself. Just as a heads up, becoming a paid member won't mean women suddenly come running just because you can message them (maybe you have the gift of the gab and they might...I don't know you...but that's my experience). Know that it's many, many guys to much less number of women on here. You could also argue though, that you have to be in it to win it, so being a paid member gives you 100% more chances than not by being able to message. The only difference to me between the levels, is the amount of messages you can send in a day. Just as a quick stats analysis - I've sent 12 new messages in 11 days. 7 of those are unread, and only 1 person replied, and they weren't interested. This isn't a woe is me story - I have chatted to some nice people on here, and met some (but very few) from messages, but it isn't a raging success. I've had far nicer experiences going to events, meeting and getting to know people there. I hate the app/mobile site. In fact the whole site is full of bugs and loopholes - once you've been here enough you find them, but the place is providing the basic service and it has membership, so I don't think there's much incentive to improve it. Which I find interesting when you think how Uber got in the door...

  If you upgrade you can send messages and access more features. There are different levels of membership and all have different features which you will have to weigh up! If you continue to lurk here I don’t think you will be bombarded by messages! Membership over guest? Your choice

  As a single guy you are by far in the majority on here. If you don't pay for membership allowing you to send messages, then your chances of actually meeting people are slim to none. You could start with the basic membership level which lets you send five initial messages per day (i.e. to five different profiles) and see how you go, then upgrade later if you want to. Going to meet and greets is your other option to meet people in the flesh, and that may be more fruitful than the messaging route on here. As for the app, don't hold your breath for improvements. It's been like that for years. I personally don't use the app at all and only use the full website, even when I'm on my phone. The website also isn't great but it's the lesser of two evils.

  Azdaja is about right. You will probably want a membership. The basic one is fine. The initial message to someone counts against your 5 per day but if they reply then replying back doesn't count so you can have a convo off one message. 5 per day is fine, pace yourself, after 10 days that's 50 people you can try initiate convos with, it adds up. Don't be disheartened by the whole glut of single males trope. If you exclude all of those that clearly have no clue it's a lot better than it seems. You show some promise. It will take some time to learn the subtleties, be patient with it. The app sucks but you don't want to carry this shit around in your pocket when you're out and about anyway. Approach women face to face when you're out and about. If you think RHP is going to get you off the hook from doing that, you will fail. This is game you should play during weekday evenings after you've cranked one out and you're winding down for the night. Don't underestimate the value of contributing to the forums.

  With the basic membership you get 5 messages as has been said above but you can reply to as many messages as you receive. So if a conversation starts flowing that doesn't reduce your message quota. As to wether it's worth it. I think so, without being able to send a message there is little point in being here. Yes the app is clunky, the chat is dead but to contact like minded people it still works ok.

  As others have stated here messaging is far easier with a membership. There are also certain members on here who write anyone who isn't a paid-up member off instantly. The best option if you are not sure is to just take out a short term membership. You can take out 1/3/6 month options, although the monthly rate is more expensive the shorter the duration. Try it for a month, see how it goes. Don't forget about auto-renewal though, if toward the end of the month or 3 months or whatever you are disappointed, they will continue to charge you monthly until you turn auto-renewal off. So set a reminder on your phone or whatever toward the end of your subscription period.

  If your genuinely looking to meet people on here you need a paid membership simple as that

  You can also see all the photos including the naughty ones and I am pretty sure guests are the lowest in a search result after paid members. It's cheaper than a movie ticket and I get more entertainment than a 2 hour movie from here.

  Thanks everyone for your replies. It seems that it's worth checking out, as an experiment. I'm glad to hear that the daily messages thing is more of a daily conversation thing. Really wish that they would update the app, though from the responses I got from their support when highlighting IT security issues, I'm not surprised.
