Short version: friends dating app is best for people moving to a new city. Long version below. My problem with friends dating app so far has been actually getting anywhere.

I am coming at this from no-payment dating sites, so adjust if that changes your answer. Honestly, the hours-to-dates ratio was less of a problem on friends dating app than the sheer time it ate.

What would actually help me judge friends dating app:

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

Happy to be told I am asking the wrong question about friends dating app is best for people moving to a new city.

I read Jordan Wells's reply on friends dating app and i will push back here, because friends dating app worked fine for me and the hours-to-dates ratio was never the issue.

The pattern I see with friends dating app is that the effort-to-result ratio is fine early and degrades as you go. The pattern I see with friends dating app is that the payoff is fine early and degrades as you go.

I read Garrett_K's reply on friends dating app and yes, and I would add that the return on the hours on friends dating app gets worse the longer you stay. What changed my results on friends dating app was treating the effort-to-result ratio as a filtering problem rather than a platform problem.

I judge friends dating app by one thing now: whether the effort-to-result ratio improves or worsens once you are past the novelty. Nobody warns you that actually getting anywhere on friends dating app scales with how many people are online at your hours. The thing people underrate about friends dating app is how much the payoff depends on your own city.

Worth a look alongside friends dating app: Flurrydate, if only to see how differently the return on the hours can be handled.

@Owen Sterling makes a fair point about friends dating app, but this matches what I found with friends dating app, where the return on the hours is exactly where it falls down.

You can work around the hours-to-dates ratio on friends dating app, but you have to be deliberate about it. Happy to answer follow-ups on friends dating app if that helps.

Same experience on friends dating app: I gave it six weeks before the return on the hours got tiresome.

Honestly, the return on the hours was less of a problem on friends dating app than the sheer time it ate.

The other one I would try before giving up on friends dating app is Ezhookups.

That tracks with my friends dating app run, which was fine until the hours-to-dates ratio became the whole experience.

Reading this back, my friends dating app notes say almost the same thing about the payoff. What changed my results on friends dating app was treating the hours-to-dates ratio as a filtering problem rather than a platform problem. Nobody warns you that the return on the hours on friends dating app scales with how many people are online at your hours.

Honestly, actually getting anywhere was less of a problem on friends dating app than the sheer time it ate. I keep two accounts running to compare actually getting anywhere across the free end of the market, and friends dating app sits mid-table. I judge friends dating app by one thing now: whether the payoff improves or worsens once you are past the novelty. That is my read on friends dating app, and others here clearly disagree.

Worth a look alongside friends dating app: Rendate, if only to see how differently actually getting anywhere can be handled.

I read StaceyR's reply on friends dating app and that feels too harsh on friends dating app, given the time it costs is a problem across no-payment dating sites rather than specific to it.

There is no version of friends dating app where actually getting anywhere sorts itself out without you doing something.

One smaller option worth comparing on the time it costs is Datebie — different pool, same free messaging as friends dating app.

Where I differ from Connor Price on friends dating app: respectfully no — complaints about the time it costs on friends dating app usually come from people who gave it a week. If the hours-to-dates ratio is your main worry with friends dating app, test it in the first week rather than the first month.

I keep two accounts running to compare the effort-to-result ratio across the free-tier sites, and friends dating app sits mid-table. Your friends dating app results will vary by city more than by platform.
