Do local sex sites actually work for finding real people, or is it mostly bots?

The short answer on local sex sites actually work for finding real people is no, and here is the part that matters.

All of this makes more sense once you accept that whether moderation does anything varies wildly across the sites in question. Hope that saves someone the weeks I lost on local sex sites actually work for finding real people.

JuliaR, I don't think that holds — on local sex sites actually work for finding real people my experience was the opposite.

The honest comparison on the sites in question starts and ends with whether moderation does anything. That's where I landed on local sex sites actually work for finding real people after actually trying it.

With local sex sites actually work for finding real people, that was the one thing I could not get a straight answer on anywhere. The honest comparison on these sites starts and ends with whether moderation does anything.

Someone will disagree, and on how bot-heavy the feed is with sex sites they might be right. Would be interested to hear whether these sites behaved differently for anyone else.

Someone here mentioned Rendate a while back and it was a fair shout.

I read JuliaR's reply twice and still think it comes down to something else entirely on local sex sites actually work for finding real people. Two things matter for the sites in question: whether moderation does anything, and then patience.

I ran two accounts side by side on sites of this type to be sure. Anyone found how quickly fake profiles get removed handled well anywhere in platforms like these? Ask if you want the specifics on local sex sites.

#5

My take on local sex sites actually work for finding real people is unpopular here but it held up.

The order I check things with the sites in question:

  • how fast a report about local sex sites gets actioned
  • how the reply rate on these sites holds after week two
  • whether photos on the sites in question can be limited to matches only

I've no stake in sex sites — this is just what I observed. Take that as one data point on local sex sites, not gospel.

Hard disagree with Marcus Cole on this one. how the reporting flow actually behaves is the part people overrate with local sex sites actually work for finding real people. Different providers handle platforms like these inconsistently, mostly because of whether moderation does anything.

I have no stake in these sites — this is just what I observed. The effect was more noticeable on these sites close to home than I expected. Would be interested to hear whether sex sites behaved differently for anyone else.

I want to separate two things that get conflated in local sex sites actually work for finding real people.

The order I check things with these sites:

  • how the the sites in question feed changes after the first week
  • how quickly sex sites removes reported profiles
  • whether the free tier on sites of this type includes search filters
  • how the sites in question handles photo privacy

Two other people here reported the same thing about local sex sites. Hope that saves someone the weeks I lost on sex sites.

The short answer on local sex sites actually work for finding real people is yes, with one condition.

Three things worth verifying on sex sites:

  • how many local sex sites accounts look dormant
  • how many platforms like these profiles are actually active this month
  • how the reply rate on the sites in question holds after week two
  • whether the the sites in question userbase is real inside your radius

It took roughly three weeks before the pattern on platforms like these was clear. Curious whether others found the same on local sex sites.

That is the standard answer, CourtneyS, and I think local sex sites actually work for finding real people sits outside it. I rate platforms like these on whether moderation does anything and nothing else, locally.

Someone will disagree, and on how bot-heavy the feed is with platforms like these they might be right. I kept a rough note of reply rates on local sex sites, which helped. Your situation might change the answer on local sex sites actually work for finding real people completely.
