Same as Cheryl, with one difference. what decided it for me with tried meet was what you give up on the free tier.
Most of the frustration with tried meet traces back to what comes of it. What decided it for me with tried meet was how quickly you get going. If the setup is not sorted, tried meet will not go anywhere.
Three things that changed tried meet for me:
- hold your number back until you have actually met on the tried meet side
- budget ten days before deciding anything about tried meet
- leave a fortnight before deciding anything about tried meet
- hold your number back until you have actually met while you are testing tried meet
In practice, tried meet lives or dies on whether it gets out of your way.
What decided it for me with tried meet was the subscription question. That is roughly where I landed on tried the meet dating site.
For what it is worth, Luvdate works differently handled tried meet better than most.
