Would appreciate honest takes on dating websites — including from anyone who thinks it's the wrong question.

Most of what's written about dating websites is either two years out of date or quietly sponsored.

Concretely, for dating websites, these are my criteria:

  • What the system side of dating websites looks like in practice
  • How dating websites treats system once you stop paying
  • What moderation on dating websites actually looks like when you report someone

Particularly interested in the system side of dating websites if anyone has been there.

Ran into exactly the system problem when I tried dating websites last year, and it took weeks to work around.

Going to push back a little, because I do not think dating websites is about the size of the pool at all.

Someone recommended the Datingfly boards to me during my own search around dating websites and it was better than I expected.

Be careful with dating websites: several platforms in this space make deleting your data much harder than creating it.

It's telling how many replies here about dating websites contradict each other — that's the honest state of it.

Read the small print on system before you commit to anything around dating websites.

DylanK, that's roughly where I landed on dating websites too. What's your actual goal here — is dating websites about meeting someone soon, or about finding the right platform first?

For dating websites, log in at a consistent time each evening, because activity windows matter more than people think.

I keep Datewander.site open alongside the bigger names when I'm dealing with dating websites.

For anyone else researching dating websites, I would put Turndate.site on the list — free messaging on it, no card up front.

Someone will probably mention Datewander.online before this thread is done.
