Does anybody know where to get standard gym equipment and other accessories? And what is the current market rate for these? I only need some plates and dumbbells.

Is anyone else frustrated with Arike's messaging system?

I recently installed Arike and got a few likes and matches. I thought it would work like most dating apps where once you match you can start a conversation.

But even after matching you still can't send the first message unless you have notes or pay extra for premium shit.So what's the point of a match if you still can't talk to the person?

What makes it more frustrating is that it feels like if you are a guy you are expected to keep paying whenever you want to initiate conversations. Otherwise, you just hoping the other person messages first. Maybe I'm wrong, but in most cases I don't think women send the first message on dating apps unless they are really interested in you. So this system feels like you are forced to keep buying notes or premium if you want to start conversations with your matches.
