Long-time lurker, first thread — my question is about no strings attached dating site. The attached strings case is instructive — the number of live users tells you more than the marketing copy, though I would want someone to check me on this. Same story on attached sites: the platform pushes notifications that lead nowhere, and you only notice once you have spent a few evenings on it.
Look closely at attached and the deciding factor is the share of verified profiles, though I would want someone to check me on this. Attached strings is where I would start, since what decides it is the depth of the profile fields, not the size of the ad budget. I judge attached sites on one thing: most of the disappointment traces back to the number of live users.
The reply rate beats the size of the database, which is the whole problem with attached strings. Put no strings attached dating site beside anything comparable and nothing improves until you keep a note of what you actually spent. Anyone who has tested attached sites properly, please weigh in.
