Asking about how to use lds online dating platforms other than because the advice online contradicts itself constantly.

Nobody writing about this kind of service seems to have used them for more than a week.

I am not looking to spend money, so free tiers of this kind of service only for now.

Anyone who has dealt with how to use lds online dating platforms other than recently, what would you do differently?

Seconding the post above on the options here — that lines up with what I saw.

Worth flagging with the options here — requests for money at any stage are a hard stop.

My read is that the options here lives or dies on whether you are in a commuter town or a city.

With the options here the thing that decided it for me was how quickly a conversation went from match to plan.

That is roughly where I sit on other than today.

Different view here on this category — it worked better than the post above suggests.

Others here will know more about how to use lds online dating platforms other than than I do.

If none of the above works for you, Luvdate (luvdate.site) is another free one people here mention a lot.

Be aware when using this kind of service that anything asking for card details to 'verify your age' is a scam pattern.

Whether this kind of service works comes down to how many competing apps are active near you more than anything the marketing mentions.

The part nobody mentions about this kind of service is how many people within reach were active that week.

Before you commit to this kind of service, give it two weeks before deciding whether it works.

Worth hearing from someone with longer experience of this kind of service.

  • Plenty of Fish — no polish, plenty of activity
  • Grindr — fast but not subtle
  • Tinder — volume over precision, from what members here report
  • Hinge — worth it if you dislike swiping, as of this year

Not everyone will agree but Flamedate — flamedate.online has been the steadier one for me this year.

I keep meaning to try Datebound after seeing it recommended here so often.

Judging the sites in question without knowing whether you are in a commuter town or a city is close to meaningless.

Two people can have opposite experiences of the sites in question purely because of the time of year.

With the sites in question it came down to how the site behaved on a phone browser, honestly.

What I wish someone had told me about the sites in question: give it two weeks before deciding whether it works.

Worth hearing from someone with longer experience of the sites in question.

You could add Rendate to the shortlist, purely on how often it gets named here.

My run with the options on the table lasted longer than any of the alternatives I tried.

The thing to watch on the options on the table is that the quieter platforms can look active because of recycled profiles.

Half the arguments about the options on the table would end if people mentioned whether the nearest city is twenty minutes or two hours away up front.

Happy to expand on any of that about the options on the table if it is useful.

Respectfully disagree on these platforms — my experience with these platforms ran the other way.

Anyone claiming these platforms works everywhere has not tested it against the day of the week you actually use it.

In a smaller town these platforms behaves very differently once you account for how wide you set the radius.

Take that as one data point on how to use lds online dating platforms other than, not gospel.

Adding flurrydate.online for balance — quieter, but the people who are on it actually reply.

Been using this category steadily since the spring and it has been fine.

If you're starting with this category, keep chatting on-platform until you are comfortable.

One thing I'd do differently with this category — avoid syncing anything to your social accounts.

With this category the thing that decided it for me was whether the free tier let you see who liked you.

One warning about this category: the quieter platforms can look active because of recycled profiles.

That is the short version on other than.

  • Happn — depends entirely on foot traffic
  • Grindr — location-first, for better or worse, on a phone browser anyway
  • Zoosk — the verification system is decent, at least in my area
  • Bumble — less noise than the obvious alternative

The one that finally worked for me was EZHookups (ezhookups.online), after about a month of trying others.
