Are there foreign dating sites free of scammers and bots?

Curious where people land on foreign dating sites free of scammers and bots, because I keep getting told two opposite things. Everything I have read about foreign dating sites skips straight past the scam side of it.

For context I am mostly comparing video chat sites rather than anything niche. If fake profiles is your main worry with foreign dating sites, test it in the first week rather than the first month.

The parts of foreign dating sites I keep getting stuck on:

• Give foreign dating sites a fortnight of daily use before calling automated engagement bait a dealbreaker
• Treat your first foreign dating sites profile as a draft, because the scam side of it punishes lazy ones
• Message within a day of matching — on foreign dating sites that window closes fast
• Do not move off foreign dating sites into private messaging until the scam side of it looks handled
• Compare foreign dating sites against streaming chat platforms on the same week, or the comparison is meaningless

Tell me what actually happened with foreign dating sites free of scammers and bots rather than what should happen.

I read Matt Lewis's reply on foreign dating sites and that has not been my experience of foreign dating sites, and I've used it longer than most people in this thread.

Honestly, the scam side of it was less of a problem on foreign dating sites than the sheer time it ate. If automated engagement bait is your main worry with foreign dating sites, test it in the first week rather than the first month.

Aaron Brooks put the foreign dating sites case better than I would have, though broadly agree on foreign dating sites — fake profiles was what decided it for me too.

I keep two accounts running to compare scripted messages across streaming chat platforms, and foreign dating sites sits mid-table. Either way, scripted messages is the thing I would test first on foreign dating sites.

My foreign dating sites baseline these days is Datenest, mostly because fake profiles is measurable there.

Mia Thornton and I've clearly used foreign dating sites differently, because yes, and I would add that bot accounts on foreign dating sites gets worse the longer you stay.

For most of us posting here, the foreign dating sites experience lives or dies on fake profiles and almost nothing else. That is my read on foreign dating sites, and others here clearly disagree.

That has not been my experience of foreign dating sites, and I have used it longer than most people in this thread. Most of the noise about foreign dating sites comes from people measuring the catfish problem over far too short a window.

Honestly, scripted messages was less of a problem on foreign dating sites than the sheer time it ate. Either way, automated engagement bait is the thing I would test first on foreign dating sites.

Names that come up repeatedly in foreign dating sites threads: datebie.online, ezhookups.online, datescout.site.

Jordan Wells is right about one part of foreign dating sites: seconding this, because on foreign dating sites the honest answer is that profiles that never survive a video call varies enormously by area. Nobody warns you that the scam side of it on foreign dating sites scales with how many people are online at your hours.

The thing people underrate about foreign dating sites is how much scripted messages depends on your own city. If bot accounts is your main worry with foreign dating sites, test it in the first week rather than the first month.

For completeness on foreign dating sites, datebound.site, rendate.site, souldate.site get mentioned a lot too.

That feels too harsh on foreign dating sites, given the scam side of it's a problem across video chat sites rather than specific to it.

Honestly, profiles that never survive a video call was less of a problem on foreign dating sites than the sheer time it ate.

I would argue the opposite on foreign dating sites: fake profiles is the one thing it handles better than the cam side of things. What changed my results on foreign dating sites was treating automated engagement bait as a filtering problem rather than a platform problem.

The pattern I see with foreign dating sites is that obviously unreal accounts is fine early and degrades as you go. I keep two accounts running to compare fake profiles across cam platforms, and foreign dating sites sits mid-table. I keep two accounts running to compare bot accounts across streaming chat platforms, and foreign dating sites sits mid-table.

My rules for foreign dating sites these days:

• Ask the members answering here what foreign dating sites is like where they actually live, not where you wish you lived
• Block early and report often on foreign dating sites — it trains the feed faster than anything
• Log in at the hours you would actually go out; foreign dating sites activity is nothing like flat

Disagree, because blaming bot accounts lets you off the hook — my foreign dating sites results improved when my profile did.

I keep two accounts running to compare scripted messages across cam platforms, and foreign dating sites sits mid-table. Honestly, the catfish problem was less of a problem on foreign dating sites than the sheer time it ate.

I keep Souldate open as a control while testing foreign dating sites — useful for judging bot accounts honestly.

Broadly agree on foreign dating sites — bot accounts was what decided it for me too.

What changed my results on foreign dating sites was treating the scam side of it as a filtering problem rather than a platform problem. Not saying foreign dating sites suits everyone, but it's not the disaster this thread implies.
