Building on what Keith said, nobody warns you that dating sites depend so heavily on how many accounts are active.
In practice, dating sites live or dies on the signal-to-noise ratio. Nobody warns you that dating sites depend so heavily on how far the free tier really goes.
Concretely, for dating sites:
- check how active your area is before you invest time specifically for dating sites
- commit ten days before deciding anything about dating sites
- allow a solid month before deciding anything about dating sites
- give it two weeks before deciding anything about dating sites
In practice, dating sites live or dies on the paywall question. Once I stopped worrying about how quickly you get going, dating sites got a lot simpler.
Two people can have opposite results with dating sites purely because of the interface side. Take that as one data point on dating sites for disabled people that are inclusive, not gospel.
