Asking because the best dating sites for couples looking to meet other couples keeps coming up and I still cannot get a straight answer. What I care about with dating sites for couples is the hours-to-dates ratio more than anything else.

Assume I know nothing beyond the obvious about the free-tier sites. Most of the noise about dating sites for couples comes from people measuring actually getting anywhere over far too short a window.

Things about dating sites for couples I have not worked out:

  • Test the effort-to-result ratio on dating sites for couples deliberately in week one rather than hoping it improves
  • Fill the prompts in properly; blank profiles get skipped on dating sites for couples
  • Photos with other people in them do worse on dating sites for couples than you would guess
  • Ask regulars here what dating sites for couples is like where they actually live, not where you wish you lived

If you have tried the best dating sites for couples looking to meet other couples recently, I would rather hear that than read another review site.

Ian Palmer is right about one part of dating sites for couples: this matches what I found with dating sites for couples, 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 the free end of the market, and dating sites for couples sits mid-table. The thing people underrate about dating sites for couples is how much actually getting anywhere depends on your own city.

I judge dating sites for couples by one thing now: whether the payoff improves or worsens once you are past the novelty. The pattern I see with dating sites for couples is that the time it costs is fine early and degrades as you go. The thing people underrate about dating sites for couples is how much the effort-to-result ratio depends on your own city. Your dating sites for couples results will vary by city more than by platform.

I would argue the opposite on dating sites for couples: the hours-to-dates ratio is the one thing it handles better than free platforms. You can work around the hours-to-dates ratio on dating sites for couples, but you have to be deliberate about it.

Nobody warns you that the return on the hours on dating sites for couples scales with how many people are online at your hours. The pattern I see with dating sites for couples is that the effort-to-result ratio is fine early and degrades as you go.

I have seen datelink.online, datenest.site, datedesire.online recommended for dating sites for couples, though I have not tested them properly.

Same experience on dating sites for couples: I gave it six weeks before the hours-to-dates ratio got tiresome.

Honestly, the effort-to-result ratio was less of a problem on dating sites for couples than the sheer time it ate. For most people in this thread, the dating sites for couples experience lives or dies on actually getting anywhere and almost nothing else.

Yes, and I would add that the hours-to-dates ratio on dating sites for couples gets worse the longer you stay. The pattern I see with dating sites for couples is that the hours-to-dates ratio is fine early and degrades as you go.

I judge dating sites for couples by one thing now: whether the return on the hours improves or worsens once you're past the novelty. If actually getting anywhere is your main worry with dating sites for couples, test it in the first week rather than the first month.

I read Jessica Lane's reply on dating sites for couples and that feels too harsh on dating sites for couples, given actually getting anywhere is a problem across the free end of the market rather than specific to it. Honestly, actually getting anywhere was less of a problem on dating sites for couples than the sheer time it ate.

What changed my results on dating sites for couples was treating the hours-to-dates ratio as a filtering problem rather than a platform problem. That is my read on dating sites for couples, and others here clearly disagree.

Different experience on dating sites for couples, where the return on the hours turned out to be manageable once I changed how I used it. I judge dating sites for couples by one thing now: whether the return on the hours improves or worsens once you are past the novelty.

There is no version of dating sites for couples where the effort-to-result ratio sorts itself out without you doing something. There is no version of dating sites for couples where the hours-to-dates ratio sorts itself out without you doing something.

The short version for dating sites for couples:

  • Screenshot anything odd on dating sites for couples before you report it — the time it costs claims need evidence
  • Write a first message that references their profile, not your own — dating sites for couples rewards it
  • Block early and report often on dating sites for couples — it trains the feed faster than anything
