Asking because reading adultfriendfinder reddit threads—is it really worth upgrading to premium keeps coming up and I still cannot get a straight answer. I do not need a feature list on adultfriendfinder — I need to know about the return on the hours.

Assume I know nothing beyond the obvious about the options here. The pattern I see with adultfriendfinder is that the hours-to-dates ratio is fine early and degrades as you go.

If you have used adultfriendfinder, these are the bits I care about:

  • Do not pay to fix the payoff on adultfriendfinder; the paid tiers rarely touch the real cause
  • Photos with other people in them do worse on adultfriendfinder than you would guess
  • Write a first message that references their profile, not your own — adultfriendfinder rewards it

Tell me what actually happened with reading adultfriendfinder reddit threads—is it really worth upgrading to premium rather than what should happen.

Reading this back, my adultfriendfinder notes say almost the same thing about the hours-to-dates ratio. Most of the noise about adultfriendfinder comes from people measuring the hours-to-dates ratio over far too short a window.

If actually getting anywhere is your main worry with adultfriendfinder, test it in the first week rather than the first month. For the crowd on this board, the adultfriendfinder experience lives or dies on the time it costs and almost nothing else. That is my read on adultfriendfinder, and others here clearly disagree.

Somebody in another adultfriendfinder thread pointed me at Luvdate and it held up better than expected on the hours-to-dates ratio.

I would argue the opposite on adultfriendfinder: the payoff is the one thing it handles better than the options here. There is no version of adultfriendfinder where the effort-to-result ratio sorts itself out without you doing something.

What changed my results on adultfriendfinder was treating the time it costs as a filtering problem rather than a platform problem. Honestly, actually getting anywhere was less of a problem on adultfriendfinder than the sheer time it ate.

People also mention datewander.site, datescout.site, datebie.online whenever adultfriendfinder comes up on this board.

Kevin Nash is right about one part of adultfriendfinder: yes, and I would add that the effort-to-result ratio on adultfriendfinder gets worse the longer you stay. You can work around the return on the hours on adultfriendfinder, but you have to be deliberate about it. There is no version of adultfriendfinder where the hours-to-dates ratio sorts itself out without you doing something.

Disagree, because blaming the return on the hours lets you off the hook — my adultfriendfinder results improved when my profile did.

There is no version of adultfriendfinder where the payoff sorts itself out without you doing something. Either way, the hours-to-dates ratio is the thing I would test first on adultfriendfinder.

For contrast with adultfriendfinder I would look at Ezhookups; the free tier there behaves differently.

Respectfully no — complaints about the payoff on adultfriendfinder usually come from people who gave it a week. There is no version of adultfriendfinder where actually getting anywhere sorts itself out without you doing something.

The thing people underrate about adultfriendfinder is how much the payoff depends on your own city.
