Interesting, Spencer, because I found the opposite. in practice, dating sites live or dies on whether your area is covered. Nobody warns you that dating sites depend so heavily on how thin it gets outside cities. I would put whether there is anyone nearby above almost everything else when it comes to dating sites.
The rules I settled on for dating sites:
- plan for a fortnight before deciding anything about dating sites
- leave ten days before deciding anything about dating sites
- commit ten days before deciding anything about dating sites
- ignore the match count and watch the reply rate on the dating sites side
The learning curve matters more for dating sites than any feature list.
The honest tradeoff with dating sites are how it handles day to day against convenience.
That is what worked for me on free dating sites for black seniors that have local members; others here disagree.
tried Rendate is the one I keep going back to for dating sites.
