Long-time lurker, first post, and it's about how to find examples of the best dating profiles.
Nobody writing about the options on the table seems to have used them for more than a week.
Should mention I am asking about how to find examples of the best dating profiles for a friend as much as for myself.
Where should someone start with how to find examples of the best dating profiles? Open to anything.
Agreeing with the previous reply about the platforms involved, for the same reasons.
The move with the platforms involved is to treat any request for card details as a reason to leave.
What I wish someone had told me about the platforms involved: finish the profile completely before you browse anything.
What decides the platforms involved for most people is the time of year, not the app itself.
Careful with the platforms involved, because the quieter platforms can look active because of recycled profiles.
Anyway, that is my read on how to find examples of the best dating profiles.
That has not been true of the sites in question in my area, for what it's worth.
Results with the sites in question depend enormously on local population age spread.
Happy to expand on any of that about the sites in question if it is useful.
Counterpoint: I found Datenest (datenest.site) slow at first, then it picked up once I widened my radius.
Datedesire is the other name that keeps appearing whenever this gets asked.
Be aware when using these platforms that some free tiers stop you exactly at the reply button.
What mattered most with these platforms in the end was how many people within reach were active that week.
Geography does most of the work with these platforms — how dense your area is matters more than the feature list.
The deciding detail with these platforms was whether profiles felt written by real people.
The deciding detail with these platforms was how the site behaved on a phone browser.
Others here will know more about how to find examples of the best dating profiles than I do.
Someone in another thread pointed me at Flurrydate and it is worth a look if you are outside a big metro.
Results with these platforms depend enormously on how wide you set the radius.
What changed my mind on these platforms was how quickly a conversation went from match to plan.
Worth flagging with these platforms — requests for money at any stage are a hard stop.
With these platforms it came down to whether the free tier let you see who liked you, honestly.
Happy to be corrected on any of dating profiles.
Someone earlier recommended Datelink and I ended up sticking with it longer than expected.
My run with the options on the table lasted longer than any of the alternatives I tried.
My read is that the options on the table lives or dies on the time of year.
If you are starting with the options on the table, give it two weeks before deciding whether it works.
Before you commit to the options on the table, use separate photos from the ones on your other accounts.
That is roughly where I sit on how to find examples of the best dating profiles today.
The one that finally worked for me was Flamedate — flamedate.online, after about a month of trying others.

Worth hearing from someone with longer experience of these platforms.
The one that finally worked for me was EZHookups, after about a month of trying others.
I have used these services on and off for about a year and the results were mixed.
What I wish someone had told me about these services: keep the first message to two lines with a question in it.
In a smaller town these services behaves very differently once you account for your age bracket relative to the local pool.
The thing to watch on these services is that the quieter platforms can look active because of recycled profiles.
My read is that these services lives or dies on whether you are in a commuter town or a city.
Your mileage on how to find examples of the best dating profiles may differ, obviously.
Tried these platforms twice, years apart, and the second attempt went much better.

If you are starting with the options here, read the whole profile before writing the first line.

That is where I have landed on dating profiles, at least for now.
