Putting the best dating sites for vegans and vegetarians to the board because search results on it are almost entirely marketing. Everything I have read about vegetarians skips straight past the return on the hours.

I have about a month of using no-payment dating sites behind me and not much to show for it. I keep two accounts running to compare the payoff across the free-tier sites, and vegetarians sits mid-table.

Things about vegetarians I have not worked out:

  • Give vegetarians a fortnight of daily use before calling the hours-to-dates ratio a dealbreaker
  • Treat your first vegetarians profile as a draft, because the return on the hours punishes lazy ones
  • Message within a day of matching — on vegetarians that window closes fast

Anyone with a recent the best dating sites for vegans and vegetarians story, please jump in.

That tracks with my vegetarians run, which was fine until the time it costs became the whole experience. Honestly, actually getting anywhere was less of a problem on vegetarians than the sheer time it ate. The thing people underrate about vegetarians is how much actually getting anywhere depends on your own city.

The pattern I see with vegetarians is that actually getting anywhere is fine early and degrades as you go. For most of us posting here, the vegetarians experience lives or dies on actually getting anywhere and almost nothing else. What changed my results on vegetarians was treating the time it costs as a filtering problem rather than a platform problem.

What worked for me on vegetarians:

  • Turn off read receipts on vegetarians if the effort-to-result ratio is making you anxious about response times
  • Set the radius wider than feels comfortable if the vegetarians pool near you is thin
  • Run vegetarians beside one other option so you have a baseline for the effort-to-result ratio

My vegetarians baseline these days is DatingFly, mostly because actually getting anywhere is measurable there.

Seconding this, because on vegetarians the honest answer is that actually getting anywhere varies enormously by area. You can work around the time it costs on vegetarians, but you have to be deliberate about it.

The thing people underrate about vegetarians is how much the hours-to-dates ratio depends on your own city. Most of the noise about vegetarians comes from people measuring the time it costs over far too short a window. Take that as one data point on vegetarians rather than a recommendation.

Building on what Marcus said about vegetarians, i will push back here, because vegetarians worked fine for me and the effort-to-result ratio was never the issue. I judge vegetarians by one thing now: whether the return on the hours improves or worsens once you are past the novelty.

Disagree, because blaming the return on the hours lets you off the hook — my vegetarians results improved when my profile did.

Nobody warns you that actually getting anywhere on vegetarians scales with how many people are online at your hours. There is no version of vegetarians where the time it costs sorts itself out without you doing something.

That has not been my experience of vegetarians, and I've used it longer than most people in this thread.
