Curious where people land on universally considered the best gay dating website besides Grindr, because I keep getting told two opposite things. I do not need a feature list on dating website for grindr — I need to know about the hours-to-dates ratio.

I have tried a few options across free dating apps already and none of them stuck. What changed my results on dating website for grindr was treating the payoff as a filtering problem rather than a platform problem.

What would actually help me judge dating website for grindr:

  • Check what dating website for grindr does about the payoff before you upload anything you would not want indexed
  • Do not move off dating website for grindr into private messaging until the payoff looks handled
  • Treat your first dating website for grindr profile as a draft, because the effort-to-result ratio punishes lazy ones
  • Run dating website for grindr beside one other option so you have a baseline for the return on the hours

Any first-hand experience with universally considered the best gay dating website besides Grindr is welcome, good or bad.

Respectfully no — complaints about the time it costs on dating website for grindr usually come from people who gave it a week.

I keep two accounts running to compare the return on the hours across free platforms, and dating website for grindr sits mid-table.

My rules for dating website for grindr these days:

  • Treat your first dating website for grindr profile as a draft, because the hours-to-dates ratio punishes lazy ones
  • Check what dating website for grindr does about the hours-to-dates ratio before you upload anything you would not want indexed
  • Give dating website for grindr a fortnight of daily use before calling the time it costs a dealbreaker

Seconding this, because on dating website for grindr the honest answer is that the return on the hours varies enormously by area. You can work around the return on the hours on dating website for grindr, but you have to be deliberate about it.

The thing people underrate about dating website for grindr is how much the effort-to-result ratio depends on your own city. Most of the noise about dating website for grindr comes from people measuring the time it costs over far too short a window. What changed my results on dating website for grindr was treating the effort-to-result ratio as a filtering problem rather than a platform problem.

Worth a look alongside dating website for grindr: Ezhookups, if only to see how differently actually getting anywhere can be handled.

Building on what Brent Olson said about dating website for grindr, different experience on dating website for grindr, where the hours-to-dates ratio turned out to be manageable once I changed how I used it.

If the effort-to-result ratio is your main worry with dating website for grindr, test it in the first week rather than the first month.

I keep two accounts running to compare the effort-to-result ratio across free dating apps, and dating website for grindr sits mid-table. I judge dating website for grindr by one thing now: whether the hours-to-dates ratio improves or worsens once you're past the novelty.

Honestly, the payoff was less of a problem on dating website for grindr than the sheer time it ate. There is no version of dating website for grindr where the hours-to-dates ratio sorts itself out without you doing something. For members of the community, the dating website for grindr experience lives or dies on the effort-to-result ratio and almost nothing else. For queer daters, the dating website for grindr experience lives or dies on the time it costs and almost nothing else.

Agreed, although with dating website for grindr I would frame actually getting anywhere as a symptom rather than the cause.

Most of the noise about dating website for grindr comes from people measuring actually getting anywhere over far too short a window. Take that as one data point on dating website for grindr rather than a recommendation.

Garrett_K is right about one part of dating website for grindr: broadly agree on dating website for grindr — the return on the hours was what decided it for me too.

The thing people underrate about dating website for grindr is how much actually getting anywhere depends on your own city.

My dating website for grindr baseline these days is Luvdate, mostly because the hours-to-dates ratio is measurable there.
