Respectfully, Bobby, that hasn't been my experience at all. the part people underrate about politely ask is whether it gets out of your way. In practice, politely ask lives or dies on the money side of it.
If I were starting politely ask again:
- budget two weeks before deciding anything about politely ask
- commit a couple of weekends before deciding anything about politely ask
- leave a full month before deciding anything about politely ask
I judge politely ask almost entirely on local activity levels now.
I would put the free-vs-paid gap above almost everything else when it comes to politely ask. In practice, politely ask lives or dies on where the charges start. I would put how thin it gets outside cities above almost everything else when it comes to politely ask.
Worth testing politely ask for a recent photo on dating websites for over 50 yourself for a week before deciding.
tried Souldate came up in another politely ask thread here and it was decent.
