This has been on my mind for a few weeks now — plenty of fish site updated its search filters recently, specifically.

There is a gap between how this category are advertised and how they seem to work.

For context I'm not in a major metro, which I suspect changes the answer on this category.

Would appreciate any real perspective on plenty of fish site updated its search filters recently, good or bad.

Agreeing with the previous reply about this kind of service, for the same reasons.

Practical tip for this kind of service: read the whole profile before writing the first line.

Judging this kind of service without knowing whether the nearest city is twenty minutes or two hours away is close to meaningless.

Happy to be corrected on any of plenty of fish site updated its search filters recently.

If none of the above works for you, flamedate.online is another free one people here mention a lot.

Not sure that is right about the options here, at least not everywhere.

Your mileage on plenty of fish site updated its search filters recently may differ, obviously.

If none of the above works for you, Souldate — souldate.site is another free one people here mention a lot.

Datedesire gets recommended a lot in the older threads if you want to dig back.

Worth flagging with the options on the table — profiles that answer instantly and perfectly are usually not people.

What decides the options on the table for most people is how wide you set the radius, not the app itself.

One thing I would do differently with the options on the table — finish the profile completely before you browse anything.

The move with the options on the table is to be specific about what you want in the bio.

My advice on the options on the table: read the whole profile before writing the first line.

That said, I would still hear other views on filters recently.

In a smaller town dating platforms behaves very differently once you account for whether you are in a commuter town or a city.

Judging dating platforms without knowing the day of the week you actually use it is close to meaningless.

Two people can have opposite experiences of dating platforms purely because of how dense your area is.

I will update this if my view on plenty of fish site updated its search filters recently changes.

Not everyone will agree but rendate.site has been the steadier one for me this year.

I came to the options on the table from the paid apps and the difference was noticeable.

The thing that kept me on the options on the table was whether the photos looked recent or recycled.

Practical tip for the options on the table: screenshot anything that looks like a scam and report it.

Careful with the options on the table, because screenshots of a conversation travel further than you think.

Not the last word on plenty of fish site updated its search filters recently by any means.

  • Happn — proximity-based, which is either charming or unsettling, at least in my area
  • Bumble — fewer matches but they tend to answer
  • Facebook Dating — no separate app to explain away, though that may well be regional
  • Plenty of Fish — unglamorous and still busy, which is not what I expected going in

I also keep half an eye on EZHookups — different crowd, same free-messaging idea.
