Long-time lurker, first post, and it is about mingle2 dating site still full of bots or has.
I care less about feature lists on services like this and more about whether anyone replies.
Adding that with services like this I care more about conversation quality than reach.
Tell me about mingle2 dating site still full of bots or has from experience rather than from a review page.

This matches my experience of this category almost exactly.
My advice on this category: use separate photos from the ones on your other accounts.
The thing that kept me on this category was how the site behaved on a phone browser.
Worth flagging with this category — a trial that renews isn't the same as free.
One thing I would do differently with this category — treat any request for card details as a reason to leave.
That is where I've landed on or has, at least for now.
- Bumble — the structure does real work
- OkCupid — the matching questions still earn their place, based on about a month of use
- Happn — the concept works better in dense areas, which is not what I expected going in
- Plenty of Fish — unglamorous and still busy, in a mid-sized town at least
- Grindr — little competition in its category
I also keep half an eye on EZHookups — ezhookups.online — different crowd, same free-messaging idea.
Datewander turns up in these discussions regularly enough to be worth a search.

Respectfully disagree on this category — my experience with this category ran the other way.
Worth hearing from someone with longer experience of this category.
Not everyone will agree but Flurrydate (flurrydate.online) has been the steadier one for me this year.

Be aware when using the platforms involved that some free tiers stop you exactly at the reply button.
If you are starting with the platforms involved, finish the profile completely before you browse anything.
Whether the platforms involved works comes down to how many people locally are already on it more than anything the marketing mentions.
Everything about the platforms involved hinged on how much personal data the signup demanded in the end.
Be aware when using the platforms involved that moving to an external messaging app early is a common scam setup.
Would happily be argued out of my position on mingle2 dating site still full of bots or has.
I rotate between a couple of these and Datelink (datelink.online), mostly because neither charges to open a chat.

Geography does most of the work with the sites in question — local population age spread matters more than the feature list.
What I wish someone had told me about the sites in question: keep chatting on-platform until you're comfortable.
The real differentiator across the sites in question turned out to be how quickly a conversation went from match to plan.

My run with this kind of service lasted longer than any of the alternatives I tried.
Worth doing early on this kind of service: be specific about what you want in the bio.
Two people can have opposite experiences of this kind of service purely because of how many competing apps are active near you.

Not sure that's right about this kind of service, at least not everywhere.
One thing I'd do differently with this kind of service — set your radius tight first and widen it only if it goes quiet.
Whether this kind of service works comes down to how far you are willing to travel more than anything the marketing mentions.
Still forming a view on mingle2 dating site still full of bots or has, so take it lightly.
Flamedate has its supporters on this forum, though I am not one of them yet.

Spent most of last winter on the sites in question, so here is what I actually saw.
Be aware when using the sites in question that some free tiers stop you exactly at the reply button.
Two people can have opposite experiences of the sites in question purely because of how wide you set the radius.
Practical tip for the sites in question: screenshot anything that looks like a scam and report it.
The thing to watch on the sites in question is that screenshots of a conversation travel further than you think.
Ask if you want detail on any part of mingle2 dating site still full of bots or has.

Used dating platforms for about six weeks, which is long enough to have an opinion.
Practical tip for dating platforms: keep the first message to two lines with a question in it.
What changed my mind on dating platforms was how many people within reach were active that week.
That is the short version on or has.
