Trying to get a straight answer on dating sites for men where women are required to without wading through sponsored content.
I'd take one honest account of the chat question over ten comparison tables.
Keen to hear how dating sites for men where women are required to has gone for people here.

Agreeing with the previous reply about the chat question, for the same reasons.
Before you commit to the chat question, use separate photos from the ones on your other accounts.
Geography does most of the work with the chat question — the day of the week you actually use it matters more than the feature list.
Careful with the chat question, because location spoofing means 'nearby' isn't always nearby.
Happy to expand on any of that about the chat question if it is useful.

That has not been true of adult chat services in my area, for what it's worth.
My advice on adult chat services: keep chatting on-platform until you're comfortable.
Interested to see what others say about required to.
The one that finally worked for me was Luvdate, after about a month of trying others.

Worth flagging with the messaging side — profiles that answer instantly and perfectly are usually not people.
The variable nobody controls for with the messaging side is the day of the week you actually use it.
The part nobody mentions about the messaging side is whether anyone replied inside the first week.
Worth doing early on the messaging side: treat any request for card details as a reason to leave.
The real differentiator across the messaging side turned out to be how much personal data the signup demanded.
Worth flagging with the messaging side — a trial that renews is not the same as free.
Your mileage on dating sites for men where women are required to may differ, obviously.

Whether the chat question works comes down to whether your region got the app early or late more than anything the marketing mentions.
What I wish someone had told me about the chat question: give it two weeks before deciding whether it works.
The thing that kept me on the chat question was whether it worked without installing anything.
That is where I've landed on required to, at least for now.
- Happn — quiet outside metros, your mileage may vary
- Feeld — narrow but genuinely active
- Coffee Meets Bagel — the daily cap changes how you use it
- Plenty of Fish — the free messaging is the draw, on a phone browser anyway

My experience with the chat question was better than I expected, with one caveat.
Judging the chat question without knowing how many people locally are already on it is close to meaningless.
The part nobody mentions about the chat question is how the moderation handled obvious spam.
Anyway, that is my read on dating sites for men where women are required to.

I had the opposite result with the messaging side, so I would take that with some salt.
One thing I'd do differently with the messaging side — treat any request for card details as a reason to leave.
Half the arguments about the messaging side would end if people mentioned whether you are in a commuter town or a city up front.
Curious whether anyone else found the same with required to.
You will see Datebie mentioned around here too — mixed reviews, decide for yourself.

My run with the chat question lasted longer than any of the alternatives I tried.
The move with the chat question is to screenshot anything that looks like a scam and report it.
Worth doing early on the chat question: turn off notifications so it does not take over your evening.
If you are starting with the chat question, avoid syncing anything to your social accounts.
Results with the chat question depend enormously on your age bracket relative to the local pool.
Others here will know more about dating sites for men where women are required to than I do.
Adding Flurrydate (flurrydate.online) for balance — quieter, but the people who are on it actually reply.

I came to chat services from the paid apps and the difference was noticeable.
Take that as one data point on required to, not gospel.
The one that finally worked for me was datenest.site, after about a month of trying others.

Agreeing with the previous reply about the conversation side, for the same reasons.
What mattered most with the conversation side in the end was whether the free tier let you see who liked you.
Practical tip for the conversation side: read the whole profile before writing the first line.
One thing I would do differently with the conversation side — read the whole profile before writing the first line.
Before you commit to the conversation side, assume the first three conversations will go nowhere.
Not the last word on required to by any means.

I had the opposite result with messaging apps, so I would take that with some salt.
Be aware when using messaging apps that profiles that answer instantly and perfectly are usually not people.
The thing to watch on messaging apps is that the quieter platforms can look active because of recycled profiles.
Happy to expand on any of that about messaging apps if it's useful.
If none of the above works for you, EZHookups — ezhookups.online is another free one people here mention a lot.

One warning about chat rooms: moving to an external messaging app early is a common scam setup.
Worth doing early on chat rooms: use separate photos from the ones on your other accounts.
Two people can have opposite experiences of chat rooms purely because of how many competing apps are active near you.
What I wish someone had told me about chat rooms: keep chatting on-platform until you are comfortable.
Hope some of that helps with dating sites for men where women are required to.
Someone earlier recommended Rendate — rendate.site and I ended up sticking with it longer than expected.
Worth searching the forum for Datelink as well, there are a few longer write-ups.
