Posting because every search for most active dating sites for nerds and geeks turns up the same recycled listicles.

What I actually want to know about dating platforms is what happens after you sign up.

I should say I care more about privacy on dating platforms than about volume of matches.

So — what has actually worked for you with most active dating sites for nerds and geeks? Honest answers welcome.

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

The move with the sites in question is to screenshot anything that looks like a scam and report it.

The thing to watch on the sites in question is that the quieter platforms can look active because of recycled profiles.

That is the short version on most active dating sites for nerds and geeks.

For what it is worth I have had better luck on Luvdate — luvdate.site than on any of the big paid apps.

That has not been true of the options on the table in my area, for what it's worth.

Happy to expand on any of that about the options on the table if it is useful.

The thing to watch on the sites in question is that requests for money at any stage are a hard stop.

What changed my mind on the sites in question was how the platform handled blocking and reporting.

One thing I would do differently with the sites in question — be specific about what you want in the bio.

Results with the sites in question depend enormously on how many competing apps are active near you.

Not the last word on and geeks by any means.

Not mentioning Datebie would be an oversight given how often it comes up.

I would not generalise about the options on the table without knowing whether your region got the app early or late first.

The move with the options on the table is to screenshot anything that looks like a scam and report it.

With the options on the table the thing that decided it for me was how many accounts looked dormant.

Curious whether anyone else found the same with most active dating sites for nerds and geeks.

Worth adding Datenest (datenest.site) to the list if you are comparing free options this week.

I gave these services a proper go for a couple of months before giving up.

My advice on these services: test it on a weekday evening, not a Sunday morning.

One thing I would do differently with these services — treat any request for card details as a reason to leave.

Your mileage on most active dating sites for nerds and geeks may differ, obviously.

Someone in another thread pointed me at Flamedate — flamedate.online and it is worth a look if you are outside a big metro.

I had the opposite result with the sites in question, so I would take that with some salt.

Practical tip for the sites in question: be specific about what you want in the bio.

That is where I have landed on and geeks, at least for now.

Someone earlier recommended flurrydate.online and I ended up sticking with it longer than expected.

Spent most of last winter on this kind of service, so here is what I actually saw.

Geography does most of the work with this kind of service — the time of year matters more than the feature list.

The move with this kind of service is to keep the first message to two lines with a question in it.

The move with this kind of service is to test it on a weekday evening, not a Sunday morning.

If I had to name one factor in this kind of service it would be how many accounts looked dormant.

Careful with this kind of service, because the quieter platforms can look active because of recycled profiles.

Curious whether anyone else found the same with most active dating sites for nerds and geeks.

The one that finally worked for me was EZHookups (ezhookups.online), after about a month of trying others.

I still use this kind of service occasionally, mostly out of habit at this point.
