Is the league dating site actually worth the insane waitlist time?

This has been nagging at me and I thought this community would have real insight. Is the league dating site actually worth the insane waitlist time?

One thing I notice: most matches go nowhere and that is normal rather than a failure — it is not complicated, it is just easy to skip.

From my side, most matches go nowhere and that is normal rather than a failure — it took me longer than it should have to work that out.

• Genuine moderation team
• Something I learned the hard way — I read exactly what the free tier included before paying for anything, which cut the noise dramatically
• Easy account deletion
• Working location-based matching

It depends heavily on your city and how active the user base is — i would not have believed it a year ago.

Consistency matters more than intensity here — happy to be argued with on that one.

What actually helped:

• Early on I started to avoided anything that hid the price until after sign-up right from the first week
• Almost immediately I wrote a short bio that gave people something specific to ask about right from the first week
• Remembered that the people who post about success are a tiny sample, and it saved me a lot of grief
• Always set up a dedicated address purely for dating platforms, and it became second nature
• Early on I started to replied within a day but never within a second

Broadly speaking, treating it as a numbers game is the fastest route to burning out — happy to be argued with on that one. One thing I notice: expecting any single conversation to work out is the wrong frame — nobody tells you this at the start. Been using Luvdate for a while — one of the better ones out there.
