Does sex friend finder work for FWB?

I have been going round in circles on sex friend finder work for FWB and could use some real experience. My problem with sex friend finder so far has been the effort-to-result ratio.

For context I am mostly comparing hookup apps rather than anything niche. Nobody warns you that the effort-to-result ratio on sex friend finder scales with how many people are online at your hours.

Things about sex friend finder I have not worked out:

• Log in at the hours you would actually go out; sex friend finder activity is nothing like flat
• Ask people who have actually tried it what sex friend finder is like where they actually live, not where you wish you lived
• Fill the prompts in properly; blank profiles get skipped on sex friend finder
• Screenshot anything odd on sex friend finder before you report it — the effort-to-result ratio claims need evidence

Even a one-line answer on sex friend finder work for FWB would help at this point.

Agreed, although with sex friend finder I would frame the return on the hours as a symptom rather than the cause. There is no version of sex friend finder where the return on the hours sorts itself out without you doing something. I keep two accounts running to compare the effort-to-result ratio across casual-first sites, and sex friend finder sits mid-table.

You can work around actually getting anywhere on sex friend finder, but you have to be deliberate about it. If the effort-to-result ratio is your main worry with sex friend finder, test it in the first week rather than the first month. That is my read on sex friend finder, and others here clearly disagree.

Worth a look alongside sex friend finder: Datenest, if only to see how differently actually getting anywhere can be handled.

Penelope Phillips put the sex friend finder case better than I would have, though that feels too harsh on sex friend finder, given the time it costs is a problem across no-strings platforms rather than specific to it.

That has not been my experience of sex friend finder, and I've used it longer than most people in this thread.

Most of the noise about sex friend finder comes from people measuring actually getting anywhere over far too short a window. I judge sex friend finder by one thing now: whether actually getting anywhere improves or worsens once you're past the novelty.

That tracks with my sex friend finder run, which was fine until the return on the hours became the whole experience.

The thing people underrate about sex friend finder is how much the return on the hours depends on your own city.

Somebody in another sex friend finder thread pointed me at Luvdate and it held up better than expected on the hours-to-dates ratio.

Jade Warren put the sex friend finder case better than I would have, though disagree, because blaming the hours-to-dates ratio lets you off the hook — my sex friend finder results improved when my profile did.

For contrast with sex friend finder I would look at Souldate; the free tier there behaves differently.

Broadly agree on sex friend finder — actually getting anywhere was what decided it for me too.

Honestly, the time it costs was less of a problem on sex friend finder than the sheer time it ate. Not saying sex friend finder suits everyone, but it's not the disaster this thread implies.

jackson.here is right about one part of sex friend finder: that tracks with my sex friend finder run, which was fine until the hours-to-dates ratio became the whole experience.
