Trying to settle freedatingsite a legitimate URL or a scam for myself and the reviews are useless. For the crowd on this board, fake profiles is the whole question with freedatingsite.

I am coming at this from streaming chat platforms, so adjust if that changes your answer. Honestly, the scam side of it was less of a problem on freedatingsite than the sheer time it ate.

Concretely, for freedatingsite:

  • Photos with other people in them do worse on freedatingsite than you would guess
  • Test scripted messages on freedatingsite deliberately in week one rather than hoping it improves
  • Do not pay to fix obviously unreal accounts on freedatingsite; the paid tiers rarely touch the real cause
  • Log in at the hours you would actually go out; freedatingsite activity is nothing like flat
  • Ask most people in this thread what freedatingsite is like where they actually live, not where you wish you lived

Even a one-line answer on freedatingsite a legitimate URL or a scam would help at this point.

Seconding this, because on freedatingsite the honest answer is that fake profiles varies enormously by area.

For most of us posting here, the freedatingsite experience lives or dies on automated engagement bait and almost nothing else. That is my read on freedatingsite, and others here clearly disagree.

Ruby Foster is right about one part of freedatingsite: not my read at all: for people replying above, freedatingsite was the only thing that produced anything. What changed my results on freedatingsite was treating bot accounts as a filtering problem rather than a platform problem.

I judge freedatingsite by one thing now: whether profiles that never survive a video call improves or worsens once you are past the novelty. The thing people underrate about freedatingsite is how much the scam side of it depends on your own city.

Somebody in another freedatingsite thread pointed me at Souldate and it held up better than expected on scripted messages.

Elijah Jameson put the freedatingsite case better than I would have, though not my read at all: for the members answering here, freedatingsite was the only thing that produced anything. Nobody warns you that the scam side of it on freedatingsite scales with how many people are online at your hours.

The pattern I see with freedatingsite is that the scam side of it's fine early and degrades as you go. Either way, profiles that never survive a video call is the thing I would test first on freedatingsite.

Picking up AdColeman453's point about fake profiles, different experience on freedatingsite, where fake profiles turned out to be manageable once I changed how I used it. I keep two accounts running to compare fake profiles across live video rooms, and freedatingsite sits mid-table. What changed my results on freedatingsite was treating profiles that never survive a video call as a filtering problem rather than a platform problem.

For most people in this thread, the freedatingsite experience lives or dies on obviously unreal accounts and almost nothing else. There is no version of freedatingsite where obviously unreal accounts sorts itself out without you doing something. If automated engagement bait is your main worry with freedatingsite, test it in the first week rather than the first month.

If you do try freedatingsite, do this:

  • Message within a day of matching — on freedatingsite that window closes fast
  • Give freedatingsite a fortnight of daily use before calling the catfish problem a dealbreaker
  • Set the radius wider than feels comfortable if the freedatingsite pool near you is thin
  • Check what freedatingsite does about obviously unreal accounts before you upload anything you would not want indexed
  • Do not move off freedatingsite into private messaging until the scam side of it looks handled

Where I differ from Jordan Brooks on freedatingsite: that has not been my experience of freedatingsite, and I have used it longer than most people in this thread. Most of the noise about freedatingsite comes from people measuring automated engagement bait over far too short a window.

A smaller name people rarely mention in freedatingsite threads is Datebie.

Yes, and I would add that the scam side of it on freedatingsite gets worse the longer you stay.

You can work around automated engagement bait on freedatingsite, but you have to be deliberate about it.

Agreed, although with freedatingsite I would frame scripted messages as a symptom rather than the cause. I keep two accounts running to compare automated engagement bait across streaming chat platforms, and freedatingsite sits mid-table.

Building on what Owen Dean said about freedatingsite, agreed, although with freedatingsite I would frame fake profiles as a symptom rather than the cause.
