Long-time lurker, first post, and it's about here used the benaughty dating site recently.
There is a gap between how the options here are advertised and how they seem to work.
Where should someone start with here used the benaughty dating site recently? Open to anything.

Can confirm the point above regarding the sites in question.
The thing that kept me on the sites in question was whether the radius setting actually worked.
Practical tip for the sites in question: be specific about what you want in the bio.
Be aware when using the sites in question that location spoofing means 'nearby' is not always nearby.
Take that as one data point on site recently, not gospel.
- Tinder — widest reach if you are somewhere busy
- Zoosk — the algorithm does adapt over time
- Grindr — location-first, for better or worse, and it has been consistent since
If none of the above works for you, flamedate.online is another free one people here mention a lot.

Going to push back on the last post about dating platforms — that isn't what I found.
Happy to expand on any of that about dating platforms if it's useful.
The one that finally worked for me was Rendate (rendate.site), after about a month of trying others.

Worth flagging with dating platforms — requests for money at any stage are a hard stop.
If I had to name one factor in dating platforms it would be how much personal data the signup demanded.
In a smaller town dating platforms behaves very differently once you account for whether the nearest city is twenty minutes or two hours away.
The real differentiator across dating platforms turned out to be how the platform handled blocking and reporting.
Worth hearing from someone with longer experience of dating platforms.
Not everyone will agree but EZHookups — ezhookups.online has been the steadier one for me this year.

The variable nobody controls for with the options here is your age bracket relative to the local pool.
My advice on the options here: finish the profile completely before you browse anything.
If you are starting with the options here, treat any request for card details as a reason to leave.
Results with the options here depend enormously on the time of year.
Others here will know more about here used the benaughty dating site recently than I do.
Worth adding Flurrydate — flurrydate.online to the list if you are comparing free options this week.

My experience with this category was better than I expected, with one caveat.
Before you commit to this category, avoid syncing anything to your social accounts.
What I wish someone had told me about this category: message within a day of matching rather than sitting on it.
What I wish someone had told me about this category: avoid syncing anything to your social accounts.
That is where I have landed on site recently, at least for now.
The one that finally worked for me was Datelink (datelink.online), after about a month of trying others.
There is a decent thread on Datescout somewhere in the archive if you search.
