Trying to get a straight answer on good dating sites for people who hate swiping without wading through sponsored content.
There is a gap between how the sites in question are advertised and how they seem to work.
I'm not looking to spend money, so free tiers of the sites in question only for now.
Where should someone start with good dating sites for people who hate swiping? Open to anything.
Seconding the post above on this kind of service — that lines up with what I saw.
Practical tip for this kind of service: treat any request for card details as a reason to leave.
The thing that kept me on this kind of service was whether profiles felt written by real people.
Still forming a view on hate swiping, so take it lightly.
I rotate between a couple of these and Flurrydate, mostly because neither charges to open a chat.
That has not been true of these platforms in my area, for what it's worth.
Hope some of that helps with hate swiping.
One warning about the options here: location spoofing means 'nearby' is not always nearby.
Worth flagging with the options here — profiles that answer instantly and perfectly are usually not people.
I would not generalise about the options here without knowing local population age spread first.
The deciding detail with the options here was whether anyone replied inside the first week.
Worth doing early on the options here: test it on a weekday evening, not a Sunday morning.
One thing I would do differently with the options here — use separate photos from the ones on your other accounts.
Worth hearing from someone with longer experience of the options here.
Worth adding datedesire.online to the list if you are comparing free options this week.
You could add Luvdate to the shortlist, purely on how often it gets named here.
Results with the sites in question depend enormously on how wide you set the radius.
Geography does most of the work with the sites in question — whether the nearest city is twenty minutes or two hours away matters more than the feature list.
If I had to name one factor in the sites in question it would be how many accounts looked dormant.
Anyway, that is my read on hate swiping.
Counterpoint: I found Datelink (datelink.online) slow at first, then it picked up once I widened my radius.
My experience with the platforms involved was better than I expected, with one caveat.
Practical tip for the platforms involved: give it two weeks before deciding whether it works.
One thing I'd do differently with the platforms involved — read the whole profile before writing the first line.
Worth flagging with the platforms involved — some free tiers stop you exactly at the reply button.
That covers what I know about the platforms involved, at least.
Someone earlier recommended souldate.site and I ended up sticking with it longer than expected.
Not sure that is right about the sites in question, at least not everywhere.
Two people can have opposite experiences of the sites in question purely because of whether you are in a commuter town or a city.
Judging the sites in question without knowing how far you are willing to travel is close to meaningless.
Would happily be argued out of my position on hate swiping.
Been using the options here steadily since the spring and it has been fine.
The thing that kept me on the options here was whether the radius setting actually worked.
Half the arguments about the options here would end if people mentioned how far you're willing to travel up front.
One thing I'd do differently with the options here — treat any request for card details as a reason to leave.
What I wish someone had told me about the options here: check what the free tier actually includes before investing time.
Your mileage on hate swiping may differ, obviously.
Half the regulars here will tell you to look at Datescout as well.
I came to the options on the table from the paid apps and the difference was noticeable.
The move with the options on the table is to turn off notifications so it does not take over your evening.
Curious whether anyone else found the same with hate swiping.
