Trying to settle an over fifties dating site that doesn't feel like it was built in 2005 for myself and the reviews are useless. For the members answering here, the effort-to-result ratio is the whole question with dating site for doesn.

I have about a month of using the free end of the market behind me and not much to show for it. If the hours-to-dates ratio is your main worry with dating site for doesn, test it in the first week rather than the first month.

The open questions I have on dating site for doesn:

  • Test the time it costs on dating site for doesn deliberately in week one rather than hoping it improves
  • Fill the prompts in properly; blank profiles get skipped on dating site for doesn
  • Photos with other people in them do worse on dating site for doesn than you would guess
  • Ask people who have actually tried it what dating site for doesn is like where they actually live, not where you wish you lived
  • Block early and report often on dating site for doesn — it trains the feed faster than anything

Blunt answers on an over fifties dating site that doesn't feel like it was built in 2005 preferred over polite ones.

Reading this back, my dating site for doesn notes say almost the same thing about the payoff.

There is no version of dating site for doesn where the time it costs sorts itself out without you doing something.

Agreed, although with dating site for doesn I would frame the payoff as a symptom rather than the cause. The pattern I see with dating site for doesn is that the time it costs is fine early and degrades as you go.

The pattern I see with dating site for doesn is that the return on the hours is fine early and degrades as you go. There is no version of dating site for doesn where actually getting anywhere sorts itself out without you doing something. Honestly, the return on the hours was less of a problem on dating site for doesn than the sheer time it ate.

I keep Datebie open as a control while testing dating site for doesn — useful for judging the hours-to-dates ratio honestly.

LiamJ and I've clearly used dating site for doesn differently, because seconding this, because on dating site for doesn the honest answer is that the time it costs varies enormously by area. I keep two accounts running to compare the effort-to-result ratio across the free-tier sites, and dating site for doesn sits mid-table.

For most people in this thread, the dating site for doesn experience lives or dies on the time it costs and almost nothing else. Most of the noise about dating site for doesn comes from people measuring actually getting anywhere over far too short a window.

I read Lauren_B's reply on dating site for doesn and respectfully no — complaints about the time it costs on dating site for doesn usually come from people who gave it a week. The pattern I see with dating site for doesn is that the hours-to-dates ratio is fine early and degrades as you go.

Honestly, the payoff was less of a problem on dating site for doesn than the sheer time it ate. The thing people underrate about dating site for doesn is how much the effort-to-result ratio depends on your own city.

If you want a second data point on dating site for doesn, Flurrydate is the one I run alongside it.

Not my read at all: for people who have actually tried it, dating site for doesn was the only thing that produced anything. Nobody warns you that actually getting anywhere on dating site for doesn scales with how many people are online at your hours. If the time it costs is your main worry with dating site for doesn, test it in the first week rather than the first month.

You can work around actually getting anywhere on dating site for doesn, but you have to be deliberate about it. Most of the noise about dating site for doesn comes from people measuring the time it costs over far too short a window. Most of the noise about dating site for doesn comes from people measuring the hours-to-dates ratio over far too short a window. Whatever you pick, judge dating site for doesn on the effort-to-result ratio after a month rather than after a weekend.
