Been at this on and off for a year now, after deleting everything and starting fresh, and the useful part surprised me.

The detail that ruins it is that the photo verification step gives you no idea when an account was last opened, which is the real problem with dating sites.

More often than not, the amount of detail in a bio predicts match quality better than how polished the profile looks.

The parts of top local singles com specifically I cannot resolve on my own:

  • Has anyone found the opposite given working out who is real?
  • Has that changed since the last update once you factor in working out who is real?
  • Would that apply in a smaller town with dating sites?

The one change that worked was reading profiles properly before swiping — it made conversations last past the first exchange for most of us.

After first-hand experience with top local singles com, not marketing copy.

For what it is worth, the marketing on the homepage gets the credit but the clarity of your main photo does the work.

Happy to be argued with when it comes to top local singles com.

What actually frustrates me is that on dating sites, the block function collapses once you move outside a major city.

On balance, for most people, the amount of detail in a bio tends to decide whether it feels worth the time for most people.

The checklist I ended up with for dating sites:

  • Move to a voice or video call early, because it saves you the conversation that was never going anywhere.
  • Keep work and socials out of it early on — the platforms will not do it for you.
  • Put something concrete in the opener if working out who is real is your main concern.
  • Give a platform three weeks before judging it, particularly on dating sites.

Souldate came up in a similar thread and was worth the time.

On dating sites, setting fixed hours for it turned it from a chore into something workable.

On balance, the response you give to a low-effort opener is a better predictor of how satisfied you are after a month than how long you have had the account.

Worth a look at Turndate as well if you want something to compare against.
