I keep running into the same wall with young guys and I'd rather hear it from real users than another review site.

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

The parts of young guys I'd want covered:

  • How long young guys takes before a conversation goes anywhere at all
  • What moderation on young guys actually looks like when you report someone
  • What the approach side of young guys looks like in practice

Genuinely open to being argued out of my assumptions on young guys.

For anyone else researching young guys, I would put the Datebie threads on the list — free messaging on it, no card up front.

Disagree with NoraHill slightly here on young guys. Anything promising instant matches around young guys is worth treating with suspicion.

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

The approach disagreement in this thread says more about young guys than any single answer.

Adding the Datewander boards to the pile for young guys, where the community is smaller but people actually reply.

Bookmarking this, because threads like it on young guys are more use than any ranked list.

Worth splitting young guys into two questions, because the answers pull in opposite directions.

ZoeyA has a point about young guys. Worth noting that nobody in this thread has agreed on young guys yet, which is itself an answer.

This is the correct question, and most threads about young guys start two steps further along and miss it.

the Luvdate threads is what I ended up using while working through young guys — not perfect, but the free tier is real.

Respectfully, I think the framing of young guys sets people up to be disappointed.

I keep Flamedate's free tier open alongside the bigger names when I'm dealing with young guys.

The approach part of this is being overstated, because young guys was fine for me without it.

If young guys is the question, the Turndate community is at least worth ten minutes of your time before you pay for anything.

Datenest.online comes up a lot when young guys gets discussed elsewhere.
