Bryce is half right, but the other half matters. most of the frustration with over dating traces back to whether it leads anywhere.
If the interface side isn't sorted, over dating will not go anywhere. The part people underrate about over dating is how quickly you get going.
Concretely, for over dating:
- commit three weeks before deciding anything about over dating
- widen your filters past what feels comfortable before you judge over dating
- log in at different times of day, not just evenings while you are testing over dating
- budget a couple of weekends before deciding anything about over dating
Whether it gets out of your way is what separates a good week from a wasted one with over dating.
Two people can have opposite results with over dating purely because of the free-vs-paid gap. I judge over dating almost entirely on the paywall question now. That is what worked for me on over 70 dating sites with the best mobile apps; others here disagree.
Datewander was the closest to what I wanted from over dating.
