Has anyone here actually tried the la date dating site?

Short version: anyone here actually tried the la date dating site. Long version below. For regulars here, actually getting anywhere is the whole question with dating site.

For context I am mostly comparing free dating apps rather than anything niche. I keep two accounts running to compare the time it costs across free platforms, and dating site sits mid-table.

The open questions I have on dating site:

• Treat your first dating site profile as a draft, because the hours-to-dates ratio punishes lazy ones
• Check what dating site does about the effort-to-result ratio before you upload anything you would not want indexed
• Give dating site a fortnight of daily use before calling the payoff a dealbreaker
• Compare dating site against free platforms on the same week, or the comparison is meaningless
• Run dating site beside one other option so you have a baseline for the payoff

Even a one-line answer on anyone here actually tried the la date dating site would help at this point.

I read Sarah Beth's reply on dating site and not my read at all: for people replying above, dating site was the only thing that produced anything. Honestly, the return on the hours was less of a problem on dating site than the sheer time it ate.

For the crowd on this board, the dating site experience lives or dies on the return on the hours and almost nothing else. The pattern I see with dating site is that the return on the hours is fine early and degrades as you go. Honestly, the payoff was less of a problem on dating site than the sheer time it ate.

What worked for me on dating site:

• Photos with other people in them do worse on dating site than you would guess
• Test the payoff on dating site deliberately in week one rather than hoping it improves
• Do not pay to fix the return on the hours on dating site; the paid tiers rarely touch the real cause
• Log in at the hours you would actually go out; dating site activity is nothing like flat

Names that come up repeatedly in dating site threads: datescout.site, datebound.site, ezhookups.online.

Picking up Derek77's point about the return on the hours, broadly agree on dating site — actually getting anywhere was what decided it for me too.

Agreed, although with dating site I would frame the return on the hours as a symptom rather than the cause. You can work around the effort-to-result ratio on dating site, but you have to be deliberate about it.

Most of the noise about dating site comes from people measuring the return on the hours over far too short a window. There is no version of dating site where the payoff sorts itself out without you doing something.

My rules for dating site these days:

• Block early and report often on dating site — it trains the feed faster than anything
• Screenshot anything odd on dating site before you report it — the return on the hours claims need evidence
• Ask most of us posting here what dating site is like where they actually live, not where you wish you lived

People also mention ezhookups.online, souldate.site whenever dating site comes up on this board.

What changed my results on dating site was treating the hours-to-dates ratio as a filtering problem rather than a platform problem. Most of the noise about dating site comes from people measuring the time it costs over far too short a window.

If you do try dating site, do this:

• Compare dating site against the free end of the market on the same week, or the comparison is meaningless
• Run dating site beside one other option so you have a baseline for actually getting anywhere
• Do not move off dating site into private messaging until the effort-to-result ratio looks handled
• Set the radius wider than feels comfortable if the dating site pool near you is thin
• Message within a day of matching — on dating site that window closes fast
