My rough process for evaluating dating sites:
- how the age filter behaves once you actually use dating sites
- if the privacy settings is honest about what it restricts — worth checking before you commit to dating sites
- if the match algorithm is applied consistently — worth checking before you commit to dating sites
For anyone weighing up dating sites — approach outweighs platform selection.
Everything I have learned about dating sites comes back to one thing — the app is less important than the habits.
The thing I look at first with dating sites is how the profile prompts behaves once you actually use dating sites.
With dating sites specifically, consistency beats platform-hopping.
For contrast I also tried Datelink; different approach to dating sites, worth comparing.
