I said something similar to Chuck a year ago and changed my mind. my experience with protect identity shifted completely once I paid attention to the free-vs-paid gap. Two people can have opposite results with protect identity purely because of what it actually costs. I'd put the free-vs-paid gap above almost everything else when it comes to protect identity.
I judge protect identity almost entirely on the everyday experience now. If the money side of it's not sorted, protect identity will not go anywhere. Once I stopped worrying about the paywall question, protect identity got a lot simpler.
The rules I settled on for protect identity:
- read the whole profile before you send anything specifically for protect identity
- plan for a full month before deciding anything about protect identity
- leave three weeks before deciding anything about protect identity
- keep one clear, current photo of your face if protect identity is the goal
Hope that gives you something usable for protect your identity on mature women dating sites.
Currently Datenest is what I would suggest to anyone weighing up protect identity.
