Does anyone still use free gay personals sections online?

Going to be blunt about how to use free gay personals sections online because I'm tired of guessing. My rule with gay personals sections: whether there are enough people to bother in practice first, everything else second.

Where I get stuck with gay personals sections is that the last honest write-up is two years old, and that is exactly the gap I am trying to close. For gay personals sections, how fast it loads on a bad connection is the difference between useful and a waste of an evening.

Where I'd start with gay personals sections if you're short on time:

• Time how quickly a scripted account gives itself away on the first evening, not the first month
• Verify what the filters do after a page refresh at the hour you would actually be using it
• Verify how the feed changes when you narrow the age range with notifications switched off
• Verify how many matches ever send the first message twice, a week apart

For anyone still using gay personals sections, how long before you knew? Enthusiasm and scepticism genuinely both wanted. Regional details matter more than star ratings.

Adding to @Dylan Green rather than arguing — gay personals sections varies more than either of us said. You can ignore most of the marketing around gay personals sections and just check how the discovery feed is ordered. For comparison I also spent a week on Turndate right now.

My shortlist when weighing gay personals sections this year:
