Been at this an embarrassing amount of time now, on the recommendation of someone here, and the picture is messier than people admit.

What actually frustrates me is that the free tier makes it impossible to tell live accounts from dead ones — and nobody mentions it when they talk about the which-one question.

On balance, the response you give to a low-effort opener is a better predictor of how long a conversation lasts than the app's star rating.

What I am actually trying to work out regarding the which-one question:

  • Does anyone know if that still holds once you factor in the which-one question?
  • Has anyone found the opposite for anyone in seniors?
  • Would that apply in a smaller town when you factor in that side of it?
  • Does that hold outside the big cities if you are dealing with the which-one question?

If anyone has tested best senior sex sites for older singles looking for fun? — niche & com recently I'd rather hear that than another roundup.

Pretty much this — @SophieR, the paywall comment is the whole thing really.

Answering within a day cut the wasted time by more than half.

Where I would start if the which-one question is the worry:

  • Pick your own venue for a first meeting, particularly on dating sites.
  • Never move money under any framing, especially for the retired crowd.
  • Let a stalled conversation go, because the alternative wastes weeks.
  • Stop apologising for wanting something specific, particularly on dating sites.
  • Pick your own venue for a first meeting, and doubly so for the retired crowd.

EZHookups has been the steadier of the ones I run — free to browse and message, which is the main thing.

Pretty much this — @Evelyn Moore, the timing observation is exactly right.

The number of prompts you filled in gets the credit but how quickly you reply does the work on dating sites.

Open to being wrong if you are on dating sites.

Has anyone found the opposite if you are dealing with the which-one question?

The one change that worked was leading with something slightly odd — it was the only change that showed up in the numbers.

My working theory is that the price of the subscription gets the credit but the effort in the opening line does the work, though your area changes the picture completely for the retired crowd.

In practice, nothing changes whether anything reaches a first meeting as much as whether the photos look like the same person on dating sites.

I'd add Datescout and there is no paywall on the basics.

How narrow your filters are is a better predictor of how satisfied you're after a month than the number of prompts you filled in.

Has anyone had the reverse happen outside your local radius?

I read it the other way. @Evelyn Moore, the remark about filters may have been better luck than most get.

The bit that keeps catching me out is that the search function shows the same faces on a loop, which is the real problem with dating sites.

On balance, how well a platform handles reports does more for how long a conversation lasts than the size of the company behind it for the retired crowd.
