For what it is worth, results vary a lot and a quiet fortnight means very little — happy to be argued with on that one. Are there dating apps to meet rich guys that don't feel like "sugar" sites?

Results vary a lot and a quiet fortnight means very little — happy to be argued with on that one.

  • Always gave each platform a fair month before judging it, which mattered more than I expected
  • Early on I started to turned off auto-renewal the moment a trial started, every single time
  • Active reporting tools

My take: expecting any single conversation to work out is the wrong frame — your mileage may well differ.

If it helps, the slow approach tends to produce better outcomes than the volume one — worth testing yourself rather than taking my word for it.luvdate.site also comes up in similar threads — another one to look into. Rendate worked for me

Taking a break when it starts to feel like admin is sensible — it is not complicated, it is just easy to skip.

The slow approach tends to produce better outcomes than the volume one — that is roughly where I landed after a lot of trial and error.

In my experience, comparing your results to anyone else's is a losing game — it took me longer than it should have to work that out. datewander.site

Good thread. For what it is worth, the details you give out early are the ones you cannot take back — that has been consistent for me across a few different platforms. Datedesire is worth trying if you haven't already. Datewander (datewander.site)

The effort should go into being specific, not into being impressive — it sounds obvious written down, but it took a while to land.

What actually helped:

  • As a rule I met in a busy public place for any first meetup, however tempting it was to skip
  • I made a point of looked at how easy the account deletion process was, however tempting it was to skip
  • Every time I referenced something specific from the profile in the first line, however tempting it was to skip
  • One habit that stuck: I never used my main debit card on a platform I had just found, which cut the noise dramatically
  • I made a point of gave each platform a fair month before judging it

Everything that made this bearable over about six months:

Having tried a few, short openers get answered, long ones get skipped — worth testing yourself rather than taking my word for it.

What actually helped:

  • After one bad experience I matched the other person's message length instead of writing essays, and I would do it again
  • I made a point of searched for recent complaints about a site before signing up, and the difference showed within days
  • Met in a busy public place for any first meetup, and I would do it again

One platform I'd actually recommend is Souldate — the free tier is genuinely usable and the user base felt real. Datelink

One thing I notice: a month is about the minimum before judging any platform — that has been consistent for me across a few different platforms.

Treating it as a numbers game is the fastest route to burning out — it is not complicated, it is just easy to skip. My take: most matches go nowhere and that is normal rather than a failure — small thing, but it adds up. Been using Datebie (datebie.online) for a while — one of the better ones I've come across. the Datebound site
