Is the badoo dating website popular in the United States or just Europe?

Not looking for a sales pitch, just experience: is the badoo dating website popular in the United States or just Europe.

Nobody writing about dating website seems willing to say plainly when something isn't worth the time.

I've asked this in two other places and got answers that clearly came from people who'd never touched dating website.

The short list of what I need from dating website:

• Whether the matching in dating website does anything beyond distance
• Whether dating website has real users outside the big metros
• Whether the free tier on dating website is genuinely usable or just a demo
• Whether anyone has tested badoo properly on dating website

Genuinely open to being argued out of my assumptions on dating website.

Since we're comparing options around dating website, the Datebie community came up when I was looking at the same thing.

Tried dating website properly last winter, and after a quiet first fortnight it picked up once I rewrote my prompts.

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

Do you care more about cost or about moderation where dating website is concerned?

For anyone else researching dating website, I would put Datescout itself on the list — free messaging on it, no card up front.

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

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

Adding the Rendate forums to the pile for dating website, where the community is smaller but people actually reply.

Does badoo actually matter for what you want, or is it a side issue for dating website?

AnnaK has a point about dating website. The cheap test for dating website is whether you can send one message without a card, and if you cannot, move on.

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

This tracks. Once badoo enters the picture, dating website stops being a simple comparison.

Anything promising instant matches around dating website is worth treating with suspicion.

How long did you give dating website before deciding it was not working for you?
