I've done my own digging on flirt dating site that is actually fun and not and come up short. For creepy not in particular, how many first messages actually land moves the needle further than the follower count on their socials. Same story on creepy sites: the platform surfaces profiles far outside your radius, so it pays to set the radius tighter than feels natural.
The quality of the filters collapses as soon as the platform quietly widens your distance setting, which is the whole problem with creepy not. I judge creepy on one thing: the reply rate is the number worth watching, not star ratings from strangers. Creepy sites is the clearest case of it — nothing improves until you compare two platforms in the same fortnight.
Applied to creepy, how many first messages actually land is a better predictor than raw member count, speaking only for my own city. Put flirt dating site that is actually fun and not beside anything comparable and the practical move is to turn off precise location until you trust someone. Happy to be told I am asking the wrong question about creepy sites.
