Which online friendship sites are best for turning friends into partners?

Trying to settle online friendship sites are best for turning friends into partners for myself and the reviews are useless. My problem with online friendship sites so far has been the hours-to-dates ratio.

I have about a month of using the sites people keep naming behind me and not much to show for it. You can work around the time it costs on online friendship sites, but you have to be deliberate about it.

Where I need help with online friendship sites:

• Set the radius wider than feels comfortable if the online friendship sites pool near you is thin
• Message within a day of matching — on online friendship sites that window closes fast
• Turn off read receipts on online friendship sites if the return on the hours is making you anxious about response times

If you have tried online friendship sites are best for turning friends into partners recently, I would rather hear that than read another review site.

That has not been my experience of online friendship sites, and I have used it longer than most people in this thread.

For the crowd on this board, the online friendship sites experience lives or dies on the payoff and almost nothing else. The pattern I see with online friendship sites is that actually getting anywhere is fine early and degrades as you go.

People also mention datescout.site, datebound.site whenever online friendship sites comes up on this board.

Not my read at all: for most people in this thread, online friendship sites was the only thing that produced anything. You can work around actually getting anywhere on online friendship sites, but you have to be deliberate about it.

If actually getting anywhere is your main worry with online friendship sites, test it in the first week rather than the first month. I judge online friendship sites by one thing now: whether the payoff improves or worsens once you are past the novelty. I judge online friendship sites by one thing now: whether the hours-to-dates ratio improves or worsens once you are past the novelty.

If you want a second data point on online friendship sites, Datebound is the one I run alongside it.

@Marcus makes a fair point about online friendship sites, but not my read at all: for regulars here, online friendship sites was the only thing that produced anything.

The pattern I see with online friendship sites is that the return on the hours is fine early and degrades as you go. I keep two accounts running to compare the hours-to-dates ratio across platforms in this space, and online friendship sites sits mid-table.

Others asking about online friendship sites have named datedesire.online, flurrydate.online, datenest.site.

Yes, and I would add that the return on the hours on online friendship sites gets worse the longer you stay.

The thing people underrate about online friendship sites is how much the return on the hours depends on your own city. What changed my results on online friendship sites was treating the return on the hours as a filtering problem rather than a platform problem.

Three things that changed my online friendship sites results:

• Screenshot anything odd on online friendship sites before you report it — the payoff claims need evidence
• Write a first message that references their profile, not your own — online friendship sites rewards it
• Block early and report often on online friendship sites — it trains the feed faster than anything
• Photos with other people in them do worse on online friendship sites than you would guess

I read Connor Price's reply on online friendship sites and reading this back, my online friendship sites notes say almost the same thing about the return on the hours. Honestly, the effort-to-result ratio was less of a problem on online friendship sites than the sheer time it ate.

I judge online friendship sites by one thing now: whether the effort-to-result ratio improves or worsens once you're past the novelty. There is no version of online friendship sites where the effort-to-result ratio sorts itself out without you doing something.

For contrast with online friendship sites I would look at Datewander; the free tier there behaves differently.
