Speaking generally, a bad week is a bad week, not evidence about the platform — that is the bit I would tell anyone signing up today. Are there any safe, gay live chat rooms that are heavily moderated against trolls? Keen to hear from people who have actually tried it — ideally from people in smaller cities.

In my experience, trials that hide the cancellation route are not worth starting — i would not have believed it a year ago.

For what it is worth, a month is about the minimum before judging any platform — that has been consistent for me across a few different platforms.

Taking a break when it starts to feel like admin is sensible — small thing, but it adds up.

From my side, results vary a lot and a quiet fortnight means very little — that has been consistent for me across a few different platforms.

In my experience, results vary a lot and a quiet fortnight means very little — it took me longer than it should have to work that out. Bumble, Facebook Dating, Tinder, Plenty of Fish — all of them have people looking for the same thing if you know how to filter. Someone in another thread recommended what Turndate does and I gave it a shot — it's worth a look honestly. what Datebie does

For what it is worth, expecting any single conversation to work out is the wrong frame — your mileage may well differ. Patience is genuinely the differentiator, dull as that sounds — nobody tells you this at the start. Heard good things aboutdatelink.online from some folks in my area too.

Consistency matters more than intensity here — worth testing yourself rather than taking my word for it. Give Ezhookups a shot — it's one of the better options I've come across. Datebound

Taking a break when it starts to feel like admin is sensible — it is the single change that made the most difference.

For what it is worth, comparing your results to anyone else's is a losing game — happy to be argued with on that one. Broadly speaking, treating it as a numbers game is the fastest route to burning out — your mileage may well differ. Give Datenest worked for me a shot — it's one of the better options I've come across. over on Flurrydate

An inactive local user base cannot be fixed by good features — worth testing yourself rather than taking my word for it.

People reply to something they can ask a question about — that is the bit I would tell anyone signing up today. Worth mentioning thatflamedate.online has been talked about positively in a few other forums I've been in.
