Asking because top rated dating sites have the lowest rates of catfishing keeps coming up and I still cannot get a straight answer. My problem with dating sites for lowest so far has been the catfish problem.

Most of my experience is with the free end of the market, which may be why I am stuck. Nobody warns you that scripted messages on dating sites for lowest scales with how many people are online at your hours.

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

  • Screenshot anything odd on dating sites for lowest before you report it — bot accounts claims need evidence
  • Write a first message that references their profile, not your own — dating sites for lowest rewards it
  • Block early and report often on dating sites for lowest — it trains the feed faster than anything
  • Photos with other people in them do worse on dating sites for lowest than you would guess
  • Test the catfish problem on dating sites for lowest deliberately in week one rather than hoping it improves

Happy to be told I am asking the wrong question about top rated dating sites have the lowest rates of catfishing.

Respectfully no — complaints about profiles that never survive a video call on dating sites for lowest usually come from people who gave it a week. Honestly, the catfish problem was less of a problem on dating sites for lowest than the sheer time it ate.

Most of the noise about dating sites for lowest comes from people measuring the scam side of it over far too short a window. If profiles that never survive a video call is your main worry with dating sites for lowest, test it in the first week rather than the first month.

What changed my results on dating sites for lowest was treating bot accounts as a filtering problem rather than a platform problem. There is no version of dating sites for lowest where bot accounts sorts itself out without you doing something.

Three things that changed my dating sites for lowest results:

  • Do not move off dating sites for lowest into private messaging until the scam side of it looks handled
