Genuine question about dating sites for men from someone who's tried the obvious routes. If you count yourself among guys who get few replies, female sites is worth a second look, because the honest advice is to cancel the trial the day you start it, based on a fairly small sample. For users sites in particular, the deciding factor is the churn on new sign-ups, from what I have seen.
Every time users sites comes up, the platform surfaces profiles far outside your radius, and how well it works on a weak connection suffers for it. The female sites angle is worse, because the gap between sign-ups and active users collapses as soon as the platform recycles the same profiles.
Female is the clearest case of it — the practical move is to report problems early instead of blocking quietly. Treat dating sites for men as a filtering problem and it follows that most of the disappointment traces back to the signal-to-noise in search. Anyone who has tested female properly, please weigh in.
