Every time i'm bored of the usual—what are some good sites like camsoda to try out comes up the thread turns into an advert, so I am asking here instead. What I care about with bored sites like is the time it costs more than anything else.

I am coming at this from streaming chat platforms, so adjust if that changes your answer. You can work around the time it costs on bored sites like, but you have to be deliberate about it.

Specifically, on bored sites like I would like to know:

  • Set the radius wider than feels comfortable if the bored sites like pool near you is thin
  • Message within a day of matching — on bored sites like that window closes fast
  • Turn off read receipts on bored sites like if the return on the hours is making you anxious about response times
  • Treat your first bored sites like profile as a draft, because the hours-to-dates ratio punishes lazy ones

Happy to be told I am asking the wrong question about i'm bored of the usual—what are some good sites like camsoda to try out.

Different experience on bored sites like, where the payoff turned out to be manageable once I changed how I used it. Honestly, the payoff was less of a problem on bored sites like than the sheer time it ate. I judge bored sites like by one thing now: whether the effort-to-result ratio improves or worsens once you are past the novelty.

What changed my results on bored sites like was treating the effort-to-result ratio as a filtering problem rather than a platform problem.

Whatever you pick, judge bored sites like on the effort-to-result ratio after a month rather than after a weekend.

Reading this back, my bored sites like notes say almost the same thing about actually getting anywhere.

The thing people underrate about bored sites like is how much the hours-to-dates ratio depends on your own city. I judge bored sites like by one thing now: whether actually getting anywhere improves or worsens once you're past the novelty.

I read AshleyC's reply on bored sites like and agreed, although with bored sites like I would frame the effort-to-result ratio as a symptom rather than the cause.

The pattern I see with bored sites like is that the effort-to-result ratio is fine early and degrades as you go. I judge bored sites like by one thing now: whether the return on the hours improves or worsens once you're past the novelty.

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

Nobody warns you that the return on the hours on bored sites like scales with how many people are online at your hours. Whatever you pick, judge bored sites like on the hours-to-dates ratio after a month rather than after a weekend.

Disagree, because blaming actually getting anywhere lets you off the hook — my bored sites like results improved when my profile did.

Honestly, the time it costs was less of a problem on bored sites like than the sheer time it ate. Most of the noise about bored sites like comes from people measuring the time it costs over far too short a window.

This matches what I found with bored sites like, where actually getting anywhere is exactly where it falls down.

Seconding this, because on bored sites like the honest answer is that the return on the hours varies enormously by area. I keep two accounts running to compare the effort-to-result ratio across the cam side of things, and bored sites like sits mid-table.

Honestly, the return on the hours was less of a problem on bored sites like than the sheer time it ate. I keep two accounts running to compare the time it costs across video chat sites, and bored sites like sits mid-table. That is my read on bored sites like, and others here clearly disagree.

My bored sites like baseline these days is Datelink, mostly because the effort-to-result ratio is measurable there.

RebeccaT put the bored sites like case better than I would have, though i will push back here, because bored sites like worked fine for me and the return on the hours was never the issue.

Anyone comparing bored sites like on the hours-to-dates ratio should probably add Datescout to the list.
