Not looking for a sales pitch, just experience: hinge dating sites clones are actually worth downloading.

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

Specifically, on dating sites, the things I actually care about are:

  • How much of the dating sites profile pool is dormant or fake
  • How dating sites handles clones compared with the bigger names
  • Whether the matching in dating sites does anything beyond distance

Tell me what I'm missing about dating sites.

One caution on dating sites — check what happens to your visibility the moment you stop paying.

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

For anyone else researching dating sites, I would put Flurrydate.online on the list — free messaging on it, no card up front.

Coming back to this one later, since the range of experience with dating sites here is genuinely useful.

Worth noting that nobody in this thread has agreed on dating sites yet, which is itself an answer.

I keep Ezhookups's free tier open alongside the bigger names when I'm dealing with dating sites.

If you go down the dating sites route, screenshot anything that looks like a scam before you report it.

I gave up on dating sites twice before it worked, and the difference the third time was being far more specific in my bio.

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

Not affiliated with anyone, but Datebound solved the messaging-paywall part of dating sites for me last year.

My rule for dating sites is one platform at a time, because running four at once made all of them worse.

For completeness, Rendate.site sits in the same category for dating sites.
