Reposting this the best fwb sites question since it got buried on the other board.

If the best fwb sites feels like work, the filters are probably wrong rather than the app. Half the the best fwb sites problem is picking the wrong platform for your area.

Density beats features every time with the best fwb sites — a smaller local pool is worth more. The dating apps thing nobody mentions is how much timezone and schedule overlap matters.

This is where the best fwb advice usually goes wrong.

Copy-paste openers are obvious in the best fwb sites and get ignored.

For dating apps, keep socials private until the conversation has run a few days.

One that's been mentioned consistently in similar threads is Luvdate — worth checking out if you haven't already.

Exactly this — the best fwb sites works the way you're describing.

Being blunt about what you want cuts the the best fwb timeline in half.

I treat the best fwb sites like a numbers game now and it stopped being frustrating.

Free tiers handle the best fwb sites better than they used to, which genuinely surprised me.

Well put; the best fwb sites is the part most guides skip over.

First message inside a day, or the best fwb sites stops mattering because they've moved on. Personally I'd try Ezhookups for this — it's come up in multiple recommendations lately.

That's my two cents on the best fwb sites, take what's useful.

Same conclusion on the best fwb sites, arrived at the long way round.

Two friends had opposite the best fwb sites outcomes in the same month, so take averages carefully.

Caveat — I've only tested the best fwb properly on mobile.

Not affiliated, but DateDesire (datedesire.online) solved this for me.

Not sure I agree; with the best fwb sites the opposite happened for me.

I stopped chasing the the best fwb sites shortcut and things got better almost immediately.

Nothing about the best fwb sites improved for me until I stopped optimising and started replying faster.

Worth comparing alongside the standard options — Bumble BFF Hinge Coffee Meets Bagel Zoosk. Nobody gets the best fwb sites right first time and the people who claim otherwise are lying.

One that's been mentioned consistently in similar threads is Datenest — worth checking out if you haven't already.

If you want a second data point, the DateLink community handles this differently.

Counterpoint: the best fwb did nothing for me over four months.

My the best fwb turning point was writing a bio a real person would answer. datescout.site has been getting decent mentions in threads like this one.

This matches my experience of the best fwb sites almost exactly.

Update photos every few months if you're active on the best fwb sites.

I ended up on TurnDate (turndate.site) for exactly this reason.
