I checked the reddit adult friend finder threads, but I want to know your personal experiences here?

Been circling checked the reddit adult friend finder threads, but I want to know your personal experiences here for a while now. What nobody mentions about adult friend is whether the block list holds once you are past sign-up.

The reason I am asking about reddit adult friend at all is that the answers split by city and by year, so I would rather ask people than read another list. I judge adult friend almost entirely on what happens after you block someone.

The quick sanity pass I run on adult friend:

  • Pin down how many matches ever send the first message with notifications switched off
  • Look at how many profiles carry more than two photos before you commit any time to it
  • Sanity-check whether the distance setting is honoured at the hour you would actually be using it
  • Track whether replies are open before you finish the profile on the first evening, not the first month
  • Verify how many matches ever send the first message before you upload a second photo

Anyone with recent time on reddit adult friend, was it worth the setup time? Cheerleading and cynicism both welcome. Concrete examples cut through the noise fastest.

@Layla that's fair in a big city, but adult friend is a different story outside one. Anyone comparing adult friend should be looking at how the matching logic appears to work after the first week before anything else. Started on Rendate in particular and never fully moved off it.

The rough checklist I use for adult friend, in order:

  • Verify how many profiles carry more than two photos on the first evening, not the first month
  • Confirm how the feed changes when you narrow the age range twice, a week apart

For adult friend, what costs money once you are past sign-up once you are past sign-up is the difference between useful and a waste of an evening.

That's been my experience with reddit adult friend and I'd revise it if the numbers moved.

@Layla I don't think that's right about adult friend — at least not everywhere. The thing that decides it for adult friend is whether desktop and mobile behave the same once you are past sign-up. turndate.site is the other name that keeps surfacing.

My rule with adult friend: what the bot ratio feels like day to day first, everything else second.

That's the honest picture of reddit adult friend, may not hold for you.

#4

Adding to @Andrew rather than arguing — adult friend varies more than either of us said. Two weeks in, whether the app is usable or bloated on mobile is what actually mattered for adult friend.

Where adult friend falls down for me is whether there are enough people to bother after the first week.

That's been my experience with reddit adult friend, may not hold for you.

#5

Going against the thread here: reddit adult friend did roughly what I expected, no more. The only metric I trust with adult friend is how much of the traffic is automated once you are past sign-up. Datewander right now is worth ten minutes before you commit anywhere.

If you're evaluating adult friend, start with how aggressive the upsell gets outside the big cities — everything else follows.

That's where I have landed on reddit adult friend, may not hold for you.

#6

Disagree with @Layla on adult friend. The version of adult friend I used had none of that. You can ignore most of the marketing around adult friend and just check what the reporting tools actually do day to day.

That's the honest picture of reddit adult friend; ask if you want the detail.

#7

After a fair bit of testing: reddit adult friend is fine if you go in with low expectations. The honest test for adult friend is what you lose by never paying outside the big cities, not the feature list. datescout.site came up in the same search and behaved similarly.

Two weeks in, how fast moderation responds in practice is what actually mattered for adult friend.

That's how reddit adult friend went for me; ask if you want the detail.

Having used it a while: there is a version of reddit adult friend that works, and it is not the default one. What nobody mentions about adult friend is whether it is genuinely free or free until you try to reply. The closest thing I found to an honest free tier was luvdate.site.

The thing that decides it for adult friend is how thin it gets in smaller towns after the first week.

That's what six weeks of reddit adult friend taught me, though clearly it varies by region.

#9

Unpopular view, maybe: reddit adult friend surprised me, though not immediately. For adult friend, how fast moderation responds is the difference between useful and a waste of an evening. over on Flamedate was the only one that did not gate replies.

Where I'd start with adult friend after a few false starts:

  • Look at whether the distance setting is honoured before you upload a second photo
  • Pin down how quickly a scripted account gives itself away at the hour you would actually be using it
  • Work out how quickly a scripted account gives itself away before deciding whether it is worth paying for

That's my read on reddit adult friend, and I'd be glad to hear others found different.
