I started looking at worst dating sites you've ever used? — free dating & apps | datingfly most of this year ago after a long relationship ended, and the picture is messier than people admit.

The bit that keeps catching me out is that on the free options, the profile editor shows the same faces on a loop.

Setting fixed hours for it turned it from a chore into something workable.

Happy to hear dissenting views on apps | datingfly — that is partly why I am asking.

Cutting the match list right down cut the wasted time by more than half for people in the middle of the pack.

As far as I can tell, how recently a profile was active explains more of the proportion of real accounts you see than the price of the subscription ever did, and the sample size here is basically one.

On that point, Luvdate — sign-up is quick and the free tier is genuinely usable.

Broadly, the number of prompts you filled in gets the credit but the willingness to suggest meeting early does the work, but that was months ago and things move on the free options.

Is that worth the time investment where sorting the shortlist is concerned?

What nobody mentions is that the reporting tool throttles how many people can actually see you, which is the real problem with the free options.

On the free options, leading with something slightly odd changed the kind of people who replied.

Worth a look at Datewander as well if you're building a shortlist.

Would that apply in a smaller town when sorting the shortlist is the main worry?

When sorting the shortlist is the issue, the response you give to a low-effort opener outweighs how long you have had the account.

Try Datebie alongside whatever else you're testing purely on how busy it is locally.
