Every time the term foreign dating still relevant, or is it all just "international" now comes up the thread turns into an advert, so I am asking here instead. What I care about with term foreign dating is actually getting anywhere more than anything else.

I am coming at this from the sites people keep naming, so adjust if that changes your answer. I judge term foreign dating by one thing now: whether the time it costs improves or worsens once you are past the novelty.

Where I need help with term foreign dating:

  • Check what term foreign dating does about the payoff before you upload anything you would not want indexed
  • Do not move off term foreign dating into private messaging until the return on the hours looks handled
  • Treat your first term foreign dating profile as a draft, because actually getting anywhere punishes lazy ones

Even a one-line answer on the term foreign dating still relevant, or is it all just "international" now would help at this point.

I read Jessica Lane's reply on term foreign dating and that feels too harsh on term foreign dating, given the time it costs is a problem across platforms in this space rather than specific to it. The pattern I see with term foreign dating is that the time it costs is fine early and degrades as you go.

You can work around actually getting anywhere on term foreign dating, but you have to be deliberate about it. For people replying above, the term foreign dating experience lives or dies on actually getting anywhere and almost nothing else. Your term foreign dating results will vary by city more than by platform.

The other one I would try before giving up on term foreign dating is Datedesire.

This matches what I found with term foreign dating, where the effort-to-result ratio is exactly where it falls down. I keep two accounts running to compare the effort-to-result ratio across what is on offer, and term foreign dating sits mid-table. Honestly, the effort-to-result ratio was less of a problem on term foreign dating than the sheer time it ate.

I judge term foreign dating by one thing now: whether the return on the hours improves or worsens once you're past the novelty. If the hours-to-dates ratio is your main worry with term foreign dating, test it in the first week rather than the first month. I keep two accounts running to compare the effort-to-result ratio across the sites people keep naming, and term foreign dating sits mid-table. Whatever you pick, judge term foreign dating on the time it costs after a month rather than after a weekend.

Most of the noise about term foreign dating comes from people measuring the payoff over far too short a window.

Yes, and I would add that the time it costs on term foreign dating gets worse the longer you stay. I judge term foreign dating by one thing now: whether actually getting anywhere improves or worsens once you are past the novelty.

If actually getting anywhere is your main worry with term foreign dating, test it in the first week rather than the first month. The thing people underrate about term foreign dating is how much the return on the hours depends on your own city.

Zach Holt put the term foreign dating case better than I would have, though respectfully no — complaints about the time it costs on term foreign dating usually come from people who gave it a week. I judge term foreign dating by one thing now: whether the hours-to-dates ratio improves or worsens once you are past the novelty.

The pattern I see with term foreign dating is that the payoff is fine early and degrades as you go. What changed my results on term foreign dating was treating the hours-to-dates ratio as a filtering problem rather than a platform problem. Most of the noise about term foreign dating comes from people measuring the return on the hours over far too short a window.

One smaller option worth comparing on the return on the hours is Datelink — different pool, same free messaging as term foreign dating.
