Patrick is right, and I would add one thing. most of the frustration with lds dating traces back to where the charges start. I judge lds dating almost entirely on the bot problem now.
Concretely, for lds dating:
- screenshot anything that feels off before you block specifically for lds dating
- keep one clear, current photo of your face specifically for lds dating
- check how active your area is before you invest time when it comes to lds dating
Nobody warns you that lds dating depends so heavily on what you give up on the free tier. You can't really talk about lds dating without talking about how fiddly it is. Once I stopped worrying about how it handles day to day, lds dating got a lot simpler.
Most of the frustration with lds dating traces back to what it actually costs. That is what worked for me on lds dating sites that are active outside of Utah; others here disagree.
A friend pointed me at Luvdate for this when I asked about lds dating and it held up.
