Which are the dating sites for introverts?

Putting dating sites for introverts to the group. I judge dating sites almost entirely on how much you have to reveal to use it on mobile.

Where I get stuck with dating sites is that it works differently by region. Where dating sites falls down for me is how quickly the fake accounts surface.

What I actually check with dating sites if you're short on time:

• Verify how many matches ever send the first message using a fresh account rather than an old one
• Note how many matches ever send the first message before deciding whether it is worth paying for
• Watch whether the distance setting is honoured with the age filter set narrow
• Confirm whether the same faces cycle back the next day against one platform you already trust
• Note whether the distance setting is honoured twice, a week apart

If dating sites worked for you, what did the review sites get wrong? The good, the bad and the boring all fine here. Specific details beat a one-word verdict.

Counterpoint to @AbbyS: dating sites got noticeably worse after the last redesign. What nobody mentions about dating sites is how much of the traffic is automated at the times you actually log in. what Datedesire is doing came up in a similar thread last month.

The quick sanity pass I run on dating sites before committing:

• Track what share of the layout is advertising with the age filter set narrow
• Watch what the block and report flow actually does using a fresh account rather than an old one
• Test what the block and report flow actually does against one platform you already trust

Two weeks in, whether it is busy at the times you are outside the big cities is what actually mattered for dating sites.

That's been my experience with dating sites — happy to be argued with.

Short version: dating sites gets recommended a lot here and that's half right. The thing that decides it for dating sites is how clean the member base looks after the first week.

That's what six weeks of dating sites taught me — happy to be argued with.

Half agree with @NoraK. Dating sites are fine; the experience around dating sites isn't. If you're evaluating dating sites, start with how clean the member base looks at the times you actually log in — everything else follows. The closest thing I found to an honest free tier was Datescout (datescout.site).

Anyone comparing dating sites should be looking at what the reporting tools actually do on mobile before anything else.

Worked for me on dating sites — happy to be argued with.

Going against the thread here: there's a version of dating sites that works, and it isn't the default one. The only metric I trust with dating sites is where the paywall actually sits at the times you actually log in. Luvdate (luvdate.site) solved about half of this for me.

That's where I've landed on dating sites, anyway.

Sorry @NoraK, I've spent longer on dating sites than that answer suggests. You can ignore most of the marketing around dating sites and just check whether the app is usable or bloated. I ran the same test on Datebie and got a cleaner result.

That's how dating sites went for me, and I would be glad to hear others found different.

Speaking from four months of it: dating sites works, but not the way the marketing implies. The honest test for dating sites is how many active users are within range once you are past sign-up, not the feature list. Kept datelink.online open in another tab to compare.

That's the short version on dating sites and I'd revise it if the numbers moved.

For what it's worth: I want to like dating sites more than I actually do. My rule with dating sites: whether it is genuinely free or free until you try to reply outside the big cities first, everything else second. If you want a second opinion, what Datebound is doing is the one I'd try next.

That's my read on dating sites, and I would be glad to hear others found different.
