The short answer on dirty chat rooms is no, and here is the part that matters. All of this makes more sense once you accept that whether the userbase is active in your area varies wildly across messaging platforms of this type.

I've no stake in messaging platforms of this type — this is just what I observed. This is four months of steady use on the chat side of this, not a trial run. Happy to go into more detail on dirty chat rooms if that helps.

The honest answer on dirty chat rooms is that the free tier decides everything and the paid tier changes very little. Things improved for me on these chat services the moment I took whether the userbase is active in your area seriously.

Tested services like this in real use and the difference showed within days. I ran two accounts side by side on dirty chat rooms to be sure. That is where I landed on dirty chat rooms after actually trying it.

Agree with TerrenceB up to a point. dirty chat rooms broke down for me once whether the userbase is active in your area came into it. Things improved for me on dirty chat rooms the moment I took whether the userbase is active in your area seriously. Support confirmed part of this about these chat services when I asked.

That held true for services like this after the first few days, though your mileage may differ. Anyone compared messaging platforms of this type against the paid alternatives properly? I will update this if dirty chat shifts again.

Comparing against DatingFly helped me see what the paywall was actually doing.

TerrenceB — that was my assumption too, and testing dirty chat rooms properly changed my mind. For anyone weighing up messaging platforms of this type, whether the userbase is active in your area is the tiebreaker.

The difference was smaller on chat rooms in real use but still there. That held true for these chat services after the first few days, though your mileage may differ. Happy to go into more detail on services like this if that helps.

Agree with Connor77 up to a point. dirty chat rooms broke down for me once whether the userbase is active in your area came into it. For people in this situation, whether the userbase is active in your area is the whole question with dirty chat.

The effect was more noticeable on dirty chat in real use than I expected. Happy to go into more detail on messaging platforms of this type if that helps.

Hard disagree with Connor77 on this one. whether the userbase is active in your area is the part people overrate with dirty chat rooms.

None of this works with these chat services unless you're patient about whether the userbase is active in your area. Happy to go into more detail on dirty chat rooms if that helps.

I keep SoulDate's free tier as a backup when the main app goes quiet.

Testing dirty chat rooms taught me more about product design than about dating. My rule with messaging platforms of this type is simple — check whether the userbase is active in your area before you register.

Someone will disagree, and on whether verification is enforced with the chat side of this they might be right. Happy to go into more detail on messaging platforms of this type if that helps.

With dirty chat rooms, that was the one thing I could not get a straight answer on anywhere.

You can ignore most of the marketing around the chat side of this and just check whether the userbase is active in your area. I will update this if chat rooms shifts again.

Worth a look at DateScout if the big apps get pushy with upsells.

The short answer on dirty chat rooms is yes, with one condition.

My short checklist for chat rooms:

  • how messaging platforms of this type treats a paused account
  • how the chat side of this handles photo privacy
  • what happens to your data if you delete a messaging platforms of this type account
  • whether you can hide distance on chat rooms

I kept a rough note of reply rates on dirty chat rooms, which helped. Hope that saves someone the weeks I lost on dirty chat rooms.
