My experience with professional singles dating sites was not what the reviews suggested. I stopped comparing feature lists on these sites and started comparing what happens when you try to cancel.

The difference was smaller on sites of this type after the first few days but still there. That is my read on professional singles dating sites, for whatever it is worth.

Liam_SEA, I don't think that holds — on professional singles dating sites my experience was the opposite.

The order I check things with dating sites:

  • whether the free tier on the sites in question includes search filters
  • whether you can hide distance on these sites
  • whether messaging on sites of this type works before a card is required
  • how blocking works on sites of this type

Take that as one data point on professional singles dating sites, not gospel.

That's the standard answer, Liam_SEA, and I think professional singles dating sites sits outside it.

For singles dating I look at:

  • whether professional singles dating sites shows read receipts on the free tier
  • how these sites treats a paused account
  • how the reply rate on singles dating sites holds after week two
  • what happens to your data if you delete a singles dating sites account

Hope that saves someone the weeks I lost on professional singles dating.

For a lighter-weight alternative I have had reasonable results with DateWander.

Every recommendation for professional singles dating sites I've seen ignores people who ask this here. For anyone weighing this up, what happens when you try to cancel is the whole question with the sites in question.

This is four months of steady use on the sites in question, not a trial run. Anyone found how much of it's usable before you pay handled well anywhere in dating sites? I will update this if these sites shifts again.

I approached professional singles dating sites the wrong way at first and it cost me a few weeks.

Nobody talks about what happens when you try to cancel, and with professional singles dating sites it's decisive. Happy to go into more detail on singles dating sites if that helps.

#6

What surprised me about professional singles dating sites was how much once you are actually using it mattered. The real gap on singles dating sites comes down to what happens when you try to cancel.

I kept a rough note of reply rates on dating sites, which helped. Your situation might change the answer on professional singles dating completely.

The short answer on professional singles dating sites is yes, with one condition. I'd judge dating sites entirely on what happens when you try to cancel and ignore the rest.

The difference was smaller on these sites after the first few days but still there. Has anyone tried professional singles dating outside a major city? Curious whether others found the same on dating sites.

I approached professional singles dating sites the wrong way at first and it cost me a few weeks.

With singles dating sites, what happens when you try to cancel is the first thing I check now. That is my read on professional singles dating sites, for whatever it is worth.

Liam_SEA is right about how much of it's usable before you pay, though I'd add that professional singles dating sites still varies by platform.

For these sites I look at:

  • how the reply rate on platforms like these holds after week two
  • how the professional singles dating sites feed changes after the first week
  • how blocking works on sites of this type

Your situation might change the answer on professional singles dating sites completely.

I ended up testing Flurrydate alongside it, which made the difference obvious.
