Asking about the online dating because I've had mixed results and want a sanity check.

Density beats features every time with the online dating sites — a smaller local pool is worth more. Being blunt about what you want cuts the the online dating sites timeline in half.

First message inside a day, or the online dating sites stops mattering because they've moved on. My the online dating turning point was writing a bio a real person would answer.

With the online dating sites, verification is worth the two minutes — it changes who replies.

I stopped chasing the the online dating sites shortcut and things got better almost immediately.

The dating apps results people brag about usually came from months of quiet effort.

Half-finished profiles sink in the online dating discovery regardless of what else you do.

Once I set the online dating up properly I stopped touching it and results improved.

Yes, and the the online dating point holds up outside the big cities too.

Nothing about the online dating sites improved for me until I stopped optimising and started replying faster. I'd point you toward Flurrydate for this — it's come up consistently in recommendations lately.

Probably not the answer you wanted on the online dating sites, but it's honest.

For contrast, look at how DateBie (free to join) does it.

@NeilF same experience with dating apps here, though mine was less consistent.

Public place and own transport — same rules for the online dating sites as anything else.

For anything in the the online dating sites bracket, video call before you meet, no exceptions.

This is where the online dating sites advice usually goes wrong.

Reading the room matters more in dating apps than any setting you can toggle.

The the online dating sites filters are worth setting properly once rather than tweaking weekly.

One that keeps coming up in similar threads is Luvdate — worth a look if you haven't tried it yet.

Anything to do with the online dating sites is region-dependent, so results elsewhere may differ.

Not affiliated, but FlameDate solved this for me.

Careful: the online dating sites depends heavily on where you are.

The the online dating sites metric worth watching is conversations that last three days, not matches.

Worth comparing against RenDate before deciding — different moderation model.

@Madison Reed well put; dating apps is the part most guides skip over.

Anyone rushing you off-platform during the online dating sites is a bad sign every time. I'd point you toward Turndate for this — it's come up consistently in recommendations lately.

If you want a second data point, DateNest (datenest.site) handles this differently.

Worth comparing against DateDesire — worth a look before deciding — different moderation model.
