Has anyone here actually used browsesingles? Is it a legit site?

Genuine question about anyone here actually used browsesingles? Is it a legit site — I do not have a strong view yet and I want one. My problem with browsesingles so far has been actually getting anywhere.

Assume I know nothing beyond the obvious about the sites people keep naming. I judge browsesingles by one thing now: whether actually getting anywhere improves or worsens once you are past the novelty.

The open questions I have on browsesingles:

• Do not move off browsesingles into private messaging until the payoff looks handled
• Compare browsesingles against the sites people keep naming on the same week, or the comparison is meaningless
• Check what browsesingles does about the return on the hours before you upload anything you would not want indexed
• Turn off read receipts on browsesingles if actually getting anywhere is making you anxious about response times

Any first-hand experience with anyone here actually used browsesingles? Is it a legit site is welcome, good or bad.

Broadly agree on browsesingles — the effort-to-result ratio was what decided it for me too.

If actually getting anywhere is your main worry with browsesingles, test it in the first week rather than the first month.

Eli Marsh and I've clearly used browsesingles differently, because i would argue the opposite on browsesingles: the hours-to-dates ratio is the one thing it handles better than the sites people keep naming. The thing people underrate about browsesingles is how much the payoff depends on your own city.

I judge browsesingles by one thing now: whether the hours-to-dates ratio improves or worsens once you are past the novelty. Honestly, the time it costs was less of a problem on browsesingles than the sheer time it ate.

Practical bits, if you are trying browsesingles:

• Turn off read receipts on browsesingles if the hours-to-dates ratio is making you anxious about response times
• Set the radius wider than feels comfortable if the browsesingles pool near you is thin
• Run browsesingles beside one other option so you have a baseline for the effort-to-result ratio
• Give browsesingles a fortnight of daily use before calling the time it costs a dealbreaker
• Treat your first browsesingles profile as a draft, because the time it costs punishes lazy ones

I would argue the opposite on browsesingles: the payoff is the one thing it handles better than the options here.

Yes, and I would add that the effort-to-result ratio on browsesingles gets worse the longer you stay.

Most of the noise about browsesingles comes from people measuring the return on the hours over far too short a window. That is my read on browsesingles, and others here clearly disagree.

Respectfully no — complaints about actually getting anywhere on browsesingles usually come from people who gave it a week. The pattern I see with browsesingles is that the hours-to-dates ratio is fine early and degrades as you go.

Where I differ from TiffanyR on browsesingles: that feels too harsh on browsesingles, given actually getting anywhere is a problem across what is on offer rather than specific to it. If the payoff is your main worry with browsesingles, test it in the first week rather than the first month.

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

Anyone comparing browsesingles on the hours-to-dates ratio should probably add Datelink to the list.

Disagree, because blaming the return on the hours lets you off the hook — my browsesingles results improved when my profile did. I keep two accounts running to compare actually getting anywhere across the sites people keep naming, and browsesingles sits mid-table.

For people who have actually tried it, the browsesingles experience lives or dies on the return on the hours and almost nothing else.

The short version for browsesingles:

• Photos with other people in them do worse on browsesingles than you would guess
• Test the time it costs on browsesingles deliberately in week one rather than hoping it improves
• Do not pay to fix actually getting anywhere on browsesingles; the paid tiers rarely touch the real cause
• Log in at the hours you would actually go out; browsesingles activity is nothing like flat
• Ask regulars here what browsesingles is like where they actually live, not where you wish you lived

That has not been my experience of browsesingles, and I have used it longer than most people in this thread. Nobody warns you that the effort-to-result ratio on browsesingles scales with how many people are online at your hours.
