Has anyone tried bbwtodate for local meetups?

Someone in another thread mentioned local meetups in passing and it's been bugging me since.

I don't trust app store ratings on local meetups — they're gamed in both directions.

So far I've tried the obvious route with local meetups and got nowhere useful.

Breaking local meetups down into the parts I can test:

• Whether bbwtodate makes any material difference to local meetups
• How much of the local meetups profile pool is dormant or fake
• What moderation on local meetups actually looks like when you report someone
• Whether bbwtodate is the reason local meetups feels inconsistent
• Whether the matching in local meetups does anything beyond distance

Will report back with what I find on local meetups if people are interested.

Not affiliated with anyone, but Datelink solved the messaging-paywall part of local meetups for me last year.

Does bbwtodate actually matter for what you want, or is it a side issue for local meetups?

The thing that caught me out with local meetups was auto-renewal buried in a trial.

Strongly agree, and I would add that local meetups looks completely different in a small town versus a capital city.

Since we're comparing options around local meetups, Turndate came up when I was looking at the same thing.

Do you care more about cost or about moderation where local meetups is concerned?

Adding Flamedate.online to the pile for local meetups, where the community is smaller but people actually reply.

The bbwtodate variable is doing a lot of work in this discussion of local meetups.

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