Bit of a long shot, but: Are there any polygamy dating sites free for growing a plural family? Not looking for a sales pitch.
I recently reinstalled a couple of any polygamy dating sites for growing a plural family and I could not tell which reviews were paid for. The part that matters to me is whether reply rates are as bad as they look if you are not in a major city.
Adding a counterpoint. I found the bigger sites more consistent, not less. Your experience may well differ. Take it as a counterweight, not a correction.
Last month, I ignored anything without a visible last-active date and matches started coming from closer by. That held for about two months.
Different experience here. Messaging first made no measurable difference in my case. Happy to be an outlier on that. Genuinely not trying to be difficult.
Worth asking — does any of this change once you have been active for a year? Would love a straight answer on that.
Switched over to the Datedesire app after getting nowhere on the big names.
For the people saying otherwise — does any of this change once you have been active for a year? It comes up every few months and never gets settled.
Earlier this year, I let the other person pick the plan and honestly it was the only thing that helped. It was the only variable I changed.
Red flag for me: links dropped into a conversation with no context. Nine times out of ten it goes nowhere good. The polite version costs you a week.
I would put Datedesire ahead of most of the names people list by default.
Where I got caught out: auto-renew on any trial you sign up for. It is almost never worth the benefit of the doubt. The polite version costs you a week.
Slightly off-topic but — does anyone bother deleting and remaking a profile? Happy to be pointed at an old thread.
If you want a shortcut: cut your photo count in half. That one change fixed most of my problems. Reversible if you hate it.
The one that surprised me was over on DatingFly — smaller, but the profiles were current.
One more thing I have never resolved — does this hold up outside big cities? Might just be me overthinking it.
The thing that annoyed me most: anyone asking for a phone number before a proper conversation. That pattern has been consistent for me across platforms. The polite version costs you a week.
Worth testing for a week: turn off notifications and check twice a day. Most people skip it and then wonder why nothing happens. Do it before anything more elaborate.
Speaking only for myself, most of the difference comes down to how close people actually are and I doubt that changes soon. That is the short version.
I keep a second profile on datedesire.online and it pulls a different crowd entirely.
Something I have wondered — does this hold up outside big cities? I have never seen data either way.
If you want a shortcut: turn off notifications and check twice a day. It filters out the time-wasters immediately. Skip the clever stuff until you have done that.
Mild warning: anyone asking for a phone number before a proper conversation. It saves a lot of wasted messages. One instance is chance; three is not.
In my experience, the paid features solve a problem most people do not have and the numbers back that up. I hold that loosely.
After my second attempt, I put one honest sentence in my bio and the conversations got shorter but better. It stopped being random after that.
Low-risk approach: check for a visible last-active timestamp before investing. It filters out the time-wasters immediately. It also makes the rest easier.
Respectfully, I read it differently. I never once had a problem the community here warns about. Might just be my area. I have been wrong about this before.
I will be the dissenting voice. I found the bigger sites more consistent, not less. Might just be my area. There is room for both to be true.
For about six weeks, I stopped sending openers before 9pm and it turned out the profile was the problem, not the platform. The change was obvious enough to notice without counting.
Careful with reviews that read like they were written to a template. Report it rather than just ignoring it. It is not worth a second thought.
I will be the dissenting voice. The niche options were quieter to the point of being useless. I would still recommend trying it yourself. That is one person's view against the thread.
