Getting more replies in Zagreb

Blurry photos and an empty bio will sink you in Zagreb regardless of the app. In Zagreb, a short question beats a compliment almost every time.

Update your main photo every few months — this is the change most members notice first.
Answer the profile prompts properly — worth doing before you change anything else.
Reply within a day rather than saving it for the weekend — the members who do this get more replies.
Fill in every profile field the format offers — it matters more in smaller places.
Avoid group photos where you are hard to pick out — it filters out a lot of wasted time.
