Getting more replies in Bergen

A half-finished profile performs badly in Bergen, same as anywhere. In Bergen, a short question beats a compliment almost every time.

Turn notifications on for the first week
Ask one question rather than paying a compliment — it makes more difference than the app you pick.
Save the long messages for after they reply — the effect compounds over a few weeks.
Write a bio that gives someone in Bergen an obvious thing to ask about — it matters more in smaller places.
Update your main photo every few months — this is the change most members notice first.
