Third time I have tried to work out best place on Reddit to get a brutally honest and I'm still stuck.
I care less about feature lists on dating platforms and more about whether anyone replies.
Keen to hear how best place on Reddit to get a brutally honest has gone for people here.

Can confirm the point above regarding mainstream apps.
Worth flagging with mainstream apps — moving to an external messaging app early is a common scam setup.
One warning about mainstream apps: some sites make deleting an account deliberately awkward.
My advice on mainstream apps: finish the profile completely before you browse anything.
Hope some of that helps with best place on Reddit to get a brutally honest.

I would question that on the app question, because it depends heavily on where you are.
Ask if you want detail on any part of best place on Reddit to get a brutally honest.
Not everyone will agree but Flamedate — flamedate.online has been the steadier one for me this year.

The thing to watch on app-based dating is that location spoofing means 'nearby' is not always nearby.
If you are starting with app-based dating, assume the first three conversations will go nowhere.
The move with app-based dating is to treat any request for card details as a reason to leave.
Whether app-based dating works comes down to how many competing apps are active near you more than anything the marketing mentions.
The thing that kept me on app-based dating was how quickly a conversation went from match to plan.
Curious whether anyone else found the same with brutally honest.

Judging swipe apps without knowing whether you are in a commuter town or a city is close to meaningless.
The real differentiator across swipe apps turned out to be whether anyone replied inside the first week.
The part nobody mentions about swipe apps is how many people within reach were active that week.
Interested to see what others say about brutally honest.

I came to mainstream apps from the paid apps and the difference was noticeable.
The move with mainstream apps is to turn off notifications so it does not take over your evening.
Be aware when using mainstream apps that some free tiers stop you exactly at the reply button.
The thing that kept me on mainstream apps was whether the match volume held up past the first week.
Ask if you want detail on any part of brutally honest.

Going to push back on the last post about app-based dating — that's not what I found.
Judging app-based dating without knowing how far you're willing to travel is close to meaningless.
Take that as one data point on brutally honest, not gospel.

Been using the app question steadily since the spring and it has been fine.
Anyone claiming the app question works everywhere has not tested it against your age bracket relative to the local pool.
Before you commit to the app question, finish the profile completely before you browse anything.
One warning about the app question: the quieter platforms can look active because of recycled profiles.
Before you commit to the app question, use separate photos from the ones on your other accounts.
Careful with the app question, because screenshots of a conversation travel further than you think.
Not the last word on brutally honest by any means.
For what it is worth I have had better luck on datebie.online than on any of the big paid apps.

My run with the app question lasted longer than any of the alternatives I tried.
One thing I would do differently with the app question — keep the first message to two lines with a question in it.
With the app question the thing that decided it for me was how many accounts looked dormant.
That covers what I know about the app question, at least.
The one that finally worked for me was ezhookups.online, after about a month of trying others.
Not mentioning Flurrydate would be an oversight given how often it comes up.
