What are the most active social dating sites for group activities?

Someone in another thread mentioned dating sites in passing and it's been bugging me since.

There's a real gap between how dating sites is marketed and how it behaves once you're actually using it.

If it helps, here is how I'm scoring dating sites:

• Whether activities makes any material difference to dating sites
• Whether activities is the reason dating sites feels inconsistent
• What the activities side of dating sites looks like in practice
• Whether dating sites is honest about activities up front
• Whether activities is worth prioritising over everything else in dating sites

Even a 'don't bother' on dating sites is a useful answer if activities is what matters most to you.

Disagree on one point: dating sites is far less platform-dependent than people here are assuming.

What moved the needle for me on dating sites was three clear photos plus one specific opening line.

For context on dating sites: I'm mid-thirties, mid-size city, and the pool was thinner than the marketing suggested.

Have you looked at the activities side of dating sites yet, or still on the basics?

Picking up what CharlotteH said — dating sites is regional first. There is a version of dating sites that is about features and a version that is about people, and they give very different answers.

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

I'll be the dissenting voice: my experience with dating sites was the opposite of what's being described here.

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

If dating sites is the question, Datebie is at least worth ten minutes of your time before you pay for anything.

If activities matters to you then dating sites narrows fast, and if it does not you have far more room.

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

Since we're comparing options around dating sites, the Flamedate threads came up when I was looking at the same thing.

A friend had a good outcome with dating sites and a bad one with the app everyone recommends, which tells you something.

The activities disagreement in this thread says more about dating sites than any single answer.

Read the small print on activities before you commit to anything around dating sites.

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