Trying to settle weird dating sites for things like clowns or vampires for myself and the reviews are useless. For people replying above, the hours-to-dates ratio is the whole question with weird dating sites.

I have tried a few options across the free end of the market already and none of them stuck. If the time it costs is your main worry with weird dating sites, test it in the first week rather than the first month.

Concretely, for weird dating sites:

  • Turn off read receipts on weird dating sites if the hours-to-dates ratio is making you anxious about response times
  • Set the radius wider than feels comfortable if the weird dating sites pool near you is thin
  • Run weird dating sites beside one other option so you have a baseline for the return on the hours
  • Give weird dating sites a fortnight of daily use before calling the effort-to-result ratio a dealbreaker
  • Treat your first weird dating sites profile as a draft, because actually getting anywhere punishes lazy ones

If you have tried weird dating sites for things like clowns or vampires recently, I would rather hear that than read another review site.

KatieM is right about one part of weird dating sites: that has not been my experience of weird dating sites, and I have used it longer than most people in this thread. Honestly, the hours-to-dates ratio was less of a problem on weird dating sites than the sheer time it ate. Most of the noise about weird dating sites comes from people measuring the payoff over far too short a window.

There is no version of weird dating sites where actually getting anywhere sorts itself out without you doing something. Either way, the effort-to-result ratio is the thing I would test first on weird dating sites.

If you want a second data point on weird dating sites, Flurrydate is the one I run alongside it.

Seconding this, because on weird dating sites the honest answer is that the payoff varies enormously by area. Most of the noise about weird dating sites comes from people measuring actually getting anywhere over far too short a window. What changed my results on weird dating sites was treating the return on the hours as a filtering problem rather than a platform problem.

The pattern I see with weird dating sites is that the hours-to-dates ratio is fine early and degrades as you go. For people replying above, the weird dating sites experience lives or dies on actually getting anywhere and almost nothing else. Happy to answer follow-ups on weird dating sites if that helps.

The usual weird dating sites alternatives people list are flurrydate.online, turndate.site.

Agreed, although with weird dating sites I would frame the effort-to-result ratio as a symptom rather than the cause.

I keep two accounts running to compare the time it costs across free platforms, and weird dating sites sits mid-table. The thing people underrate about weird dating sites is how much actually getting anywhere depends on your own city.

I would argue the opposite on weird dating sites: the return on the hours is the one thing it handles better than the free end of the market.

Nobody warns you that the return on the hours on weird dating sites scales with how many people are online at your hours. The thing people underrate about weird dating sites is how much the payoff depends on your own city.

My rules for weird dating sites these days:

  • Photos with other people in them do worse on weird dating sites than you would guess
  • Test the payoff on weird dating sites deliberately in week one rather than hoping it improves
  • Do not pay to fix the effort-to-result ratio on weird dating sites; the paid tiers rarely touch the real cause
  • Log in at the hours you would actually go out; weird dating sites activity is nothing like flat
  • Ask most of us posting here what weird dating sites is like where they actually live, not where you wish you lived

The other one I would try before giving up on weird dating sites is Datescout.

Respectfully no — complaints about the time it costs on weird dating sites usually come from people who gave it a week. There is no version of weird dating sites where the time it costs sorts itself out without you doing something. The thing people underrate about weird dating sites is how much the return on the hours depends on your own city.

Not saying weird dating sites suits everyone, but it is not the disaster this thread implies.

Three things that changed my weird dating sites results:

  • Check what weird dating sites does about the return on the hours before you upload anything you would not want indexed
  • Do not move off weird dating sites into private messaging until the time it costs looks handled
  • Treat your first weird dating sites profile as a draft, because the effort-to-result ratio punishes lazy ones

The usual weird dating sites alternatives people list are souldate.site, datewander.site, rendate.site.
