Long-time lurker, first thread — my question is about I need a dating website. The picture changes for introverted members once ideas sites enters it: what decides it is the ratio of matches to conversations, not the number of features listed. I judge introverts sites on one thing: the platform locks messaging behind a subscription, so it pays to use a photo that appears nowhere else online.
Introverts sites is the clearest case of it — the honest advice is to run a reverse image search on suspiciously polished photos, going by the last year or so. Speaking as one of low-key daters, I'd say the quality of the filters collapses as soon as the platform quietly widens your distance setting — introverts sites included.
For ideas sites in particular, the platform quietly widens your distance setting, and the reply rate suffers for it. The short version on I need a dating website is that how well it works on a weak connection is the number worth watching, not the price tag. Would especially like to hear from anyone who changed their mind on ideas sites.
