I want to be wrong about a site that is simply called the dating site, so tell me if I am. For most of us posting here, the return on the hours is the whole question with simply dating site.

I have tried a few options across no-payment dating sites already and none of them stuck. I keep two accounts running to compare the payoff across free dating apps, and simply dating site sits mid-table.

The parts of simply dating site I keep getting stuck on:

  • Photos with other people in them do worse on simply dating site than you would guess
  • Test the effort-to-result ratio on simply dating site deliberately in week one rather than hoping it improves
  • Do not pay to fix the hours-to-dates ratio on simply dating site; the paid tiers rarely touch the real cause
  • Log in at the hours you would actually go out; simply dating site activity is nothing like flat

Happy to be told I am asking the wrong question about a site that is simply called the dating site.

Same experience on simply dating site: I gave it six weeks before the effort-to-result ratio got tiresome.

The thing people underrate about simply dating site is how much the hours-to-dates ratio depends on your own city. What changed my results on simply dating site was treating the effort-to-result ratio as a filtering problem rather than a platform problem.

My simply dating site baseline these days is Datescout, mostly because the effort-to-result ratio is measurable there.

That feels too harsh on simply dating site, given the effort-to-result ratio is a problem across free platforms rather than specific to it. The thing people underrate about simply dating site is how much the effort-to-result ratio depends on your own city. The pattern I see with simply dating site is that actually getting anywhere is fine early and degrades as you go.

Nobody warns you that the payoff on simply dating site scales with how many people are online at your hours. The pattern I see with simply dating site is that the effort-to-result ratio is fine early and degrades as you go. Your simply dating site results will vary by city more than by platform.

Yes, and I would add that the payoff on simply dating site gets worse the longer you stay.

If the payoff is your main worry with simply dating site, test it in the first week rather than the first month.

@Sam_B makes a fair point about simply dating site, but same experience on simply dating site: I gave it six weeks before the payoff got tiresome. Honestly, the effort-to-result ratio was less of a problem on simply dating site than the sheer time it ate.

Anyone comparing simply dating site on actually getting anywhere should probably add Flurrydate to the list.

@Eli Marsh makes a fair point about simply dating site, but this matches what I found with simply dating site, where actually getting anywhere is exactly where it falls down.

For most people in this thread, the simply dating site experience lives or dies on the payoff and almost nothing else.

If you want a second data point on simply dating site, Datebound is the one I run alongside it.

Agreed, although with simply dating site I would frame actually getting anywhere as a symptom rather than the cause. Honestly, actually getting anywhere was less of a problem on simply dating site than the sheer time it ate.

Most of the noise about simply dating site comes from people measuring the time it costs over far too short a window. Most of the noise about simply dating site comes from people measuring the hours-to-dates ratio over far too short a window.
