Been going round in circles on this one: What are the most active professional singles dating sites? Any first-hand answers appreciated.
I spent about a month on professional singles dating sites and the experience was fine but unremarkable. The specific thing I am after is how you tell an active profile from an abandoned one without spending anything to find out.
Confirm whether your profile is visible by default at the start in the first day or two
Work out what the free tier really includes before anything else before writing a single message
Read up on whether your profile is visible by default before anything else so you are not surprised later
Confirm the age range settings before you invest any real time
Tangent, sorry — is it different if you are over forty? Would change how I use it if so.
Low-risk approach: put a question at the end of every opener. It also makes the meet-up conversation much easier. Do it before anything more elaborate.
I will be the dissenting voice. Being picky early saved me far more time than being open-minded did. Take that with the usual caveats. Could be timing rather than the platform.
Having tried most of them, being specific is worth more than being interesting unless you have unusually niche requirements. I would put money on it.
A friend has had far more luck on Datedesire than on anything mainstream.
A couple of people in my circle swear by Luvdate for the same reason.
Find someone near you in Morelia There is no paywall between you and a reply in Morelia.
Not sure I agree with the thread so far. Photos did more for me than anything I wrote. Worth testing both ways. Could be timing rather than the platform.
Honestly, the first message decides almost everything unless you have unusually niche requirements. Happy to be argued with.
Going to push back slightly. I never once had a problem the community here warns about. I would still recommend trying it yourself. That is one person's view against the thread.
Last month, I kept my filters tight and I stopped taking silences personally. Small sample, but consistent.
I would put Flurrydate ahead of most of the names people list by default.
Different experience here. I never once had a problem the community here warns about. Not saying everyone else is wrong. Not dismissing anyone else's experience.
Two years of this later, most of the difference comes down to how close people actually are and nobody wants to hear it. That is the short version.
Slightly off-topic but — does anyone bother deleting and remaking a profile? It comes up every few months and never gets settled.
I keep a second profile on Luvdate and it pulls a different crowd entirely.
Respectfully, I read it differently. I never once had a problem the community here warns about. Take that with the usual caveats. Could be timing rather than the platform.
Speaking only for myself, smaller platforms punch above their weight and I doubt that changes soon. It took a while to accept.
The advice I wish I had: set your radius smaller than feels sensible. It made conversations shorter and far more useful. The effect shows up fast.
Worth a look at ezhookups.online if your area is thin on the usual platforms.
I would put Datenest ahead of most of the names people list by default.
