Has anyone heard of a secret dating app used by celebrities?

Genuine question about anyone heard of a secret dating app used by celebrities — I do not have a strong view yet and I want one. My problem with celebrities so far has been the payoff.

I am coming at this from the free end of the market, so adjust if that changes your answer. You can work around the return on the hours on celebrities, but you have to be deliberate about it.

The parts of celebrities I keep getting stuck on:

• Log in at the hours you would actually go out; celebrities activity is nothing like flat
• Ask the members answering here what celebrities is like where they actually live, not where you wish you lived
• Fill the prompts in properly; blank profiles get skipped on celebrities
• Screenshot anything odd on celebrities before you report it — actually getting anywhere claims need evidence
• Write a first message that references their profile, not your own — celebrities rewards it

Even a one-line answer on anyone heard of a secret dating app used by celebrities would help at this point.

Same experience on celebrities: I gave it six weeks before the time it costs got tiresome.

There is no version of celebrities where the time it costs sorts itself out without you doing something.

Seconding this, because on celebrities the honest answer is that the payoff varies enormously by area. There is no version of celebrities where the effort-to-result ratio sorts itself out without you doing something. The thing people underrate about celebrities is how much actually getting anywhere depends on your own city.

The pattern I see with celebrities is that actually getting anywhere is fine early and degrades as you go. Honestly, actually getting anywhere was less of a problem on celebrities than the sheer time it ate. There is no version of celebrities where the hours-to-dates ratio sorts itself out without you doing something. I keep two accounts running to compare the hours-to-dates ratio across the free end of the market, and celebrities sits mid-table.

If you do try celebrities, do this:

• Set the radius wider than feels comfortable if the celebrities pool near you is thin
• Message within a day of matching — on celebrities that window closes fast
• Turn off read receipts on celebrities if the effort-to-result ratio is making you anxious about response times
• Treat your first celebrities profile as a draft, because the time it costs punishes lazy ones
• Check what celebrities does about the hours-to-dates ratio before you upload anything you would not want indexed

That has not been my experience of celebrities, and I have used it longer than most people in this thread. If actually getting anywhere is your main worry with celebrities, test it in the first week rather than the first month.

For people replying above, the celebrities experience lives or dies on the return on the hours and almost nothing else. I judge celebrities by one thing now: whether the time it costs improves or worsens once you are past the novelty. Honestly, the effort-to-result ratio was less of a problem on celebrities than the sheer time it ate.

What worked for me on celebrities:

• Do not move off celebrities into private messaging until the effort-to-result ratio looks handled
• Compare celebrities against the free-tier sites on the same week, or the comparison is meaningless
• Check what celebrities does about the payoff before you upload anything you would not want indexed

Yes, and I would add that the time it costs on celebrities gets worse the longer you stay.

You can work around the hours-to-dates ratio on celebrities, but you have to be deliberate about it. Your celebrities results will vary by city more than by platform.

For completeness on celebrities, datingfly.online, datedesire.online, datelink.online get mentioned a lot too.

Yes, and I would add that the effort-to-result ratio on celebrities gets worse the longer you stay. Nobody warns you that the return on the hours on celebrities scales with how many people are online at your hours.

The other one I would try before giving up on celebrities is Ezhookups.

@Vanessa M makes a fair point about celebrities, but yes, and I would add that the effort-to-result ratio on celebrities gets worse the longer you stay.

Nobody warns you that the payoff on celebrities scales with how many people are online at your hours.

LaurenP is right about one part of celebrities: seconding this, because on celebrities the honest answer is that the hours-to-dates ratio varies enormously by area. Most of the noise about celebrities comes from people measuring the hours-to-dates ratio over far too short a window.

I judge celebrities by one thing now: whether the return on the hours improves or worsens once you are past the novelty. I keep two accounts running to compare actually getting anywhere across no-payment dating sites, and celebrities sits mid-table. If the hours-to-dates ratio is your main worry with celebrities, test it in the first week rather than the first month.

One smaller option worth comparing on the payoff is Datelink — different pool, same free messaging as celebrities.
