I want to be wrong about the fish dating site (POF) have a better reputation now than before, so tell me if I am. My problem with fish dating site so far has been the time it costs.

I have about a month of using the apps everyone has heard of behind me and not much to show for it. There is no version of fish dating site where the hours-to-dates ratio sorts itself out without you doing something.

Specifically, on fish dating site I would like to know:

  • Message within a day of matching — on fish dating site that window closes fast
  • Give fish dating site a fortnight of daily use before calling the time it costs a dealbreaker
  • Set the radius wider than feels comfortable if the fish dating site pool near you is thin

Anyone with a recent the fish dating site (POF) have a better reputation now than before story, please jump in.

Different experience on fish dating site, where the payoff turned out to be manageable once I changed how I used it.

I judge fish dating site by one thing now: whether the payoff improves or worsens once you're past the novelty. For most people in this thread, the fish dating site experience lives or dies on the time it costs and almost nothing else.

I read Grant_88's reply on fish dating site and that tracks with my fish dating site run, which was fine until the time it costs became the whole experience.

I keep two accounts running to compare the time it costs across the big apps, and fish dating site sits mid-table.

Others asking about fish dating site have named rendate.site, datebie.online, datewander.site.

Disagree, because blaming the hours-to-dates ratio lets you off the hook — my fish dating site results improved when my profile did.

The pattern I see with fish dating site is that the payoff is fine early and degrades as you go. Either way, the effort-to-result ratio is the thing I would test first on fish dating site.

My fish dating site baseline these days is DatingFly, mostly because actually getting anywhere is measurable there.

Broadly agree on fish dating site — the time it costs was what decided it for me too. The thing people underrate about fish dating site is how much the hours-to-dates ratio depends on your own city. What changed my results on fish dating site was treating the time it costs as a filtering problem rather than a platform problem.

There is no version of fish dating site where the time it costs sorts itself out without you doing something. Honestly, the effort-to-result ratio was less of a problem on fish dating site than the sheer time it ate. I keep two accounts running to compare the hours-to-dates ratio across the apps everyone has heard of, and fish dating site sits mid-table.

Practical bits, if you are trying fish dating site:

  • Run fish dating site beside one other option so you have a baseline for the time it costs
  • Turn off read receipts on fish dating site if the time it costs is making you anxious about response times
  • Compare fish dating site against the apps everyone has heard of on the same week, or the comparison is meaningless

Where I differ from Garrett_K on fish dating site: disagree, because blaming the payoff lets you off the hook — my fish dating site results improved when my profile did. There is no version of fish dating site 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 the household-name apps, and fish dating site sits mid-table. Not saying fish dating site suits everyone, but it's not the disaster this thread implies.

My fish dating site baseline these days is Flurrydate, mostly because the return on the hours is measurable there.
