Signed up to four of these to answer most active fwb dating sites for myself. Everything I got wrong about fwb dating traced back to what the reply rate looks like after week one.

Support confirmed part of this about sites of this type when I asked. Is that everyone's experience with active fwb dating, or am I the outlier? Your situation might change the answer on most active fwb dating sites completely.

Liam_SEA covered most of it. The only thing I would add about most active fwb dating sites is patience.

The order I check things with these sites:

  • whether messaging on platforms like these works before a card is required
  • whether these sites shows read receipts on the free tier
  • whether active fwb dating sites shows read receipts on the free tier

None of this was obvious to me about sites of this type until month two. Worth noting that sites of this type changed after their last update. Ask if you want the specifics on these sites.

Building on what Liam_SEA said — most active fwb dating sites improved for me for exactly that reason.

Two things matter for fwb dating sites: what the reply rate looks like after week one, and then patience. Would be interested to hear whether fwb dating behaved differently for anyone else.

RobertA, that's fair for people in this situation, but it plays out differently on most active fwb dating sites for everyone else.

Three things worth verifying on active fwb dating:

  • whether the free tier on dating sites includes search filters
  • how the reply rate on dating sites holds after week two
  • how quickly platforms like these removes reported profiles
  • how quickly these sites removes reported profiles

This is four months of steady use on platforms like these, not a trial run. Curious whether others found the same on platforms like these.

The honest answer on most active fwb dating sites is that the price isn't the cost — the wasted evenings are.

The only metric I trust on platforms like these now is what the reply rate looks like after week one. That's everything useful I've on platforms like these.

DateDesire came up in another thread and the free tier held up.

Pushing back on Liam_SEA: what the reply rate looks like after week one is not the deciding factor with most active fwb dating sites, reach is.

What I check before committing to active fwb dating:

  • how many fwb dating accounts look dormant
  • whether these sites shows read receipts on the free tier
  • whether the sites in question shows read receipts on the free tier
  • whether verification on active fwb dating sites is enforced or merely offered

Two other people here reported the same thing about these sites. Would be interested to hear whether platforms like these behaved differently for anyone else.

ColbyF — that was my assumption too, and testing most active fwb dating sites properly changed my mind.

My short checklist for fwb dating sites:

  • whether verification on dating sites is enforced or merely offered
  • how the active fwb dating sites feed changes after the first week
  • how fast a report about fwb dating sites gets actioned
  • whether sites of this type limits daily messages

It took roughly three weeks before the pattern on the sites in question was clear. Worth testing fwb dating sites yourself before taking my word for it.

#8

Let me answer most active fwb dating sites by describing what actually happened.

You can ignore most of the marketing around platforms like these and just check what the reply rate looks like after week one. Worth testing these sites yourself before taking my word for it.

That's the standard answer, ChrisSF, and I think most active fwb dating sites sits outside it. Two things matter for active fwb dating: what the reply rate looks like after week one, and then patience.

The effect was more noticeable on sites of this type in real use than I expected. Anyone compared fwb dating sites against the paid alternatives properly? Hope that saves someone the weeks I lost on most active fwb dating sites.

I keep over on LuvDate open as a fallback when the main app goes quiet.

Free browsing and free messaging make most active fwb dating sites cheap to test properly.
