Trying to get a straight answer on completely free dating sites have the largest active user base without the marketing spin.

Where I keep getting stuck is whether it gets out of your way. If you have tried completely free dating sites have the largest active user base recently, I would like to hear how it went.

Scott_T is right, and I would add one thing. nobody warns you that completely free depends so heavily on how real the profiles are. If how real the profiles are isn't sorted, completely free will not go anywhere.

If I were starting completely free again:

  • plan for a full month before deciding anything about completely free
  • budget ten days before deciding anything about completely free
  • fill the profile out properly, not half way on the completely free side
  • hold your number back until you have actually met before you judge completely free

Nobody warns you that completely free depends so heavily on how much of it is real.

Two people can have opposite results with completely free purely because of the practical side.

Your mileage on completely free dating sites have the largest active user base will vary, but that is the pattern I saw.

I spent a while on completely free dating sites have the largest active user base and ended up somewhere unexpected.

I judge completely free almost entirely on how far the free tier really goes now.

The bot problem matters more for completely free than any feature list. I would put what it actually costs above almost everything else when it comes to completely free. Has anyone else found that with completely free?

Worth testing completely free dating sites have the largest active user base yourself for a week before deciding.

Datedesire recently was the closest to what I wanted from completely free.

Interesting, Scott_T, because I found the opposite. my experience with completely free shifted completely once I paid attention to how it handles day to day. Once I stopped worrying about how it handles day to day, completely free got a lot simpler.

What I actually do about completely free:

  • log in at different times of day, not just evenings when it comes to completely free
  • hold your number back until you have actually met on the completely free side
  • check how active your area is before you invest time while you are testing completely free
  • stay on the platform for the first few exchanges if completely free is the goal

The setup matters more for completely free than any feature list. What decided it for me with completely free was how much of it's real.

Does completely free still hold up for you lot?

Take that as one data point on completely free dating sites have the largest active user base, not gospel.

I ended up using Datebound recently for exactly this side of completely free.

Seconding Trevor on this. you can't really talk about completely free without talking about how real the profiles are. I judge completely free almost entirely on the profile quality now. I'd put the free-vs-paid gap above almost everything else when it comes to completely free.

The fake-account issue matters more for completely free than any feature list.

The honest tradeoff with completely free is the free-vs-paid gap against convenience. That is the short version of completely free dating sites have the largest active user base; ask if you want detail.

Going to disagree with Bryce on this one. what decided it for me with completely free was the money side of it.

I judge completely free almost entirely on the pricing question now.

Two people can have opposite results with completely free purely because of how it feels to use. Happy to expand on any part of completely free dating sites have the largest active user base if it helps.

Flurrydate for this came up in another completely free thread here and it was decent.
