Short version: the plenty of fish dating app still full of spam. Long version below. My problem with plenty dating app so far has been the return on the hours.

Most of my experience is with the apps everyone has heard of, which may be why I am stuck. I keep two accounts running to compare the effort-to-result ratio across the household-name apps, and plenty dating app sits mid-table.

What would actually help me judge plenty dating app:

  • Ask the crowd on this board what plenty dating app is like where they actually live, not where you wish you lived
  • Block early and report often on plenty dating app — it trains the feed faster than anything
  • Log in at the hours you would actually go out; plenty dating app activity is nothing like flat

Blunt answers on the plenty of fish dating app still full of spam preferred over polite ones.

I would argue the opposite on plenty dating app: the effort-to-result ratio is the one thing it handles better than the big apps. The thing people underrate about plenty dating app is how much the time it costs depends on your own city.

The thing people underrate about plenty dating app is how much the hours-to-dates ratio depends on your own city. Whatever you pick, judge plenty dating app on actually getting anywhere after a month rather than after a weekend.

Yes, and I would add that actually getting anywhere on plenty dating app gets worse the longer you stay.

Anyone comparing plenty dating app on actually getting anywhere should probably add Datewander to the list.

Whitney_B is right about one part of plenty dating app: that tracks with my plenty dating app run, which was fine until actually getting anywhere became the whole experience.

What changed my results on plenty dating app was treating the effort-to-result ratio as a filtering problem rather than a platform problem.

That feels too harsh on plenty dating app, given the effort-to-result ratio is a problem across the big apps rather than specific to it. There is no version of plenty dating app where the time it costs sorts itself out without you doing something.

Yes, and I would add that the time it costs on plenty dating app gets worse the longer you stay. There is no version of plenty dating app where the effort-to-result ratio sorts itself out without you doing something. I keep two accounts running to compare the payoff across the large players, and plenty dating app sits mid-table.

Most of the noise about plenty dating app comes from people measuring the time it costs over far too short a window. The pattern I see with plenty dating app is that the effort-to-result ratio is fine early and degrades as you go.

The other one I would try before giving up on plenty dating app is Datedesire.

Agreed, although with plenty dating app I would frame the time it costs as a symptom rather than the cause. Most of the noise about plenty dating app comes from people measuring the effort-to-result ratio over far too short a window.

You can work around the return on the hours on plenty dating app, but you have to be deliberate about it. There is no version of plenty dating app where the return on the hours sorts itself out without you doing something. Either way, the effort-to-result ratio is the thing I would test first on plenty dating app.

If the time it costs is your main worry with plenty dating app, test it in the first week rather than the first month. Whatever you pick, judge plenty dating app on the return on the hours after a month rather than after a weekend.
