Every time the facebook hookup group scene actually work for meeting people comes up the thread turns into an advert, so I am asking here instead. For people replying above, the effort-to-result ratio is the whole question with facebook hookup group.

For context I am mostly comparing hookup apps rather than anything niche. What changed my results on facebook hookup group was treating the return on the hours as a filtering problem rather than a platform problem.

The open questions I have on facebook hookup group:

  • Do not pay to fix the time it costs on facebook hookup group; the paid tiers rarely touch the real cause
  • Photos with other people in them do worse on facebook hookup group than you would guess
  • Write a first message that references their profile, not your own — facebook hookup group rewards it
  • Fill the prompts in properly; blank profiles get skipped on facebook hookup group

Any first-hand experience with the facebook hookup group scene actually work for meeting people is welcome, good or bad.

Building on what EvanH said about facebook hookup group, broadly agree on facebook hookup group — the return on the hours was what decided it for me too.

I judge facebook hookup group by one thing now: whether the hours-to-dates ratio improves or worsens once you're past the novelty.

Not my read at all: for regulars here, facebook hookup group was the only thing that produced anything. There is no version of facebook hookup group where the return on the hours sorts itself out without you doing something.

For people replying above, the facebook hookup group experience lives or dies on the effort-to-result ratio and almost nothing else. Honestly, the return on the hours was less of a problem on facebook hookup group than the sheer time it ate.

Anyone comparing facebook hookup group on the payoff should probably add Datebound to the list.

That has not been my experience of facebook hookup group, and I have used it longer than most people in this thread. I keep two accounts running to compare actually getting anywhere across no-strings platforms, and facebook hookup group sits mid-table.

For the crowd on this board, the facebook hookup group experience lives or dies on the payoff and almost nothing else. Most of the noise about facebook hookup group comes from people measuring actually getting anywhere over far too short a window.

My facebook hookup group baseline these days is Datenest, mostly because the hours-to-dates ratio is measurable there.

This matches what I found with facebook hookup group, where the payoff is exactly where it falls down.

What changed my results on facebook hookup group was treating the payoff as a filtering problem rather than a platform problem. If the hours-to-dates ratio is your main worry with facebook hookup group, test it in the first week rather than the first month.

How I would approach facebook hookup group from scratch:

  • Treat your first facebook hookup group profile as a draft, because the time it costs punishes lazy ones
  • Check what facebook hookup group does about actually getting anywhere before you upload anything you would not want indexed
  • Give facebook hookup group a fortnight of daily use before calling actually getting anywhere a dealbreaker
