This has been on my mind for a few weeks now — data safe if I delete my account on friendfinder, specifically.

What I actually want to know about due diligence here is what happens after you sign up.

Any thoughts on data safe if I delete my account on friendfinder would help me stop going in circles.

That is a fair summary of the scam question from where I sit.

The thing to watch on the scam question is that profiles that answer instantly and perfectly are usually not people.

The part nobody mentions about the scam question is how the site behaved on a phone browser.

Careful with the scam question, because location spoofing means 'nearby' is not always nearby.

Geography does most of the work with the scam question — how wide you set the radius matters more than the feature list.

That said, I would still hear other views on data safe if I delete my account on friendfinder.

That has not been true of vetting a platform in my area, for what it is worth.

Happy to expand on any of that about vetting a platform if it's useful.

The thing to watch on verification practices is that profiles that answer instantly and perfectly are usually not people.

My advice on verification practices: screenshot anything that looks like a scam and report it.

Everything about verification practices hinged on how many people within reach were active that week in the end.

The part nobody mentions about verification practices is how many people within reach were active that week.

What I wish someone had told me about verification practices: assume the first three conversations will go nowhere.

Anyway, that is my read on data safe if I delete my account on friendfinder.

Not everyone will agree but Flurrydate (flurrydate.online) has been the steadier one for me this year.

Whether the trust question works comes down to how many competing apps are active near you more than anything the marketing mentions.

Worth doing early on the trust question: avoid syncing anything to your social accounts.

Would happily be argued out of my position on data safe if I delete my account on friendfinder.

Counterpoint: I found EZHookups — ezhookups.online slow at first, then it picked up once I widened my radius.

My experience with vetting a platform was better than I expected, with one caveat.

The move with vetting a platform is to keep the first message to two lines with a question in it.

The part nobody mentions about vetting a platform is whether it worked without installing anything.

Take that as one data point on data safe if I delete my account on friendfinder, not gospel.

DatingFly is the other name that keeps appearing whenever this gets asked.

Respectfully disagree on the safety side — my experience with the safety side ran the other way.

The part nobody mentions about the safety side is whether the photos looked recent or recycled.

The real differentiator across the safety side turned out to be how many people within reach were active that week.

Happy to be corrected on any of data safe if I delete my account on friendfinder.

I came to due diligence here from the paid apps and the difference wasn'ticeable.

One thing I would do differently with due diligence here — avoid syncing anything to your social accounts.

What mattered most with due diligence here in the end was whether messaging was actually free or free-to-a-point.

Judging due diligence here without knowing local population age spread is close to meaningless.

Be aware when using due diligence here that a trial that renews isn't the same as free.

Anyway, that is my read on data safe if I delete my account on friendfinder.

For what it is worth I have had better luck on Turndate (turndate.site) than on any of the big paid apps.

Tried platform safety twice, years apart, and the second attempt went much better.

The move with platform safety is to give it two weeks before deciding whether it works.

Anyway, that is my read on on friendfinder.
