Is there a pure dating site for casual hookups?

Been chewing on a pure dating site for casual hookups? — free dating & apps | datingfl for an embarrassing amount of time out of curiosity more than anything, and the useful part surprised me.

The bit that keeps catching me out is that the profile editor surfaces profiles that have not been touched in months.

For the general run of people, leading with something slightly odd made conversations last past the first exchange for the average user.

Direct experience of a pure dating site for casual hookups? — free dating & apps | dati is what I am after.

Has anyone had the reverse happen given cutting through the roundups?

In practice, when cutting through the roundups is the issue, the effort in the opening line matters more than the boost you paid for for the average user.

Someone pointed me at Flurrydate purely on how busy it is locally.

On casual-first platforms, moving to a call early made conversations last past the first exchange.

What wore me down was that on casual-first platforms, the search function collapses once you move outside a major city.

The total registered user count gets the credit but how consistently you show up does the work for the average user.

Adding Datelink to the list purely on how busy it is locally.

Broadly agreed — @NicoleR, the note on casual-first platforms is spot on.

As far as I can tell, when cutting through the roundups is the issue, how well a platform handles reports matters more than which platform you picked, though it varies enormously by city.

Not claiming this is universal given how fast casual-first platforms change.

Is that worth the time investment if you are dealing with cutting through the roundups?

Strongly agree — @CooperS, the remark about filters is the one I'd emphasise.

What nobody mentions is that the messaging limit makes it impossible to tell live accounts from dead ones — and nobody mentions it when they talk about cutting through the roundups.

Things I wish someone had said about apps | datingfl:

• Ask one question, not four — it is the single strongest signal you control.
• Move to a voice or video call early if cutting through the roundups is your main concern.
• Keep work and socials out of it early on if cutting through the roundups is your main concern.
• Reverse-image-search anything too polished, and doubly so for the general run of people.
• Write the bio for one person, not everyone, and doubly so for the general run of people.
