No email dating sites just filled with anonymous bots is the thing I keep going back and forth on, mostly because of engagement bots. This kind of site is the bit that decides it — everything after that is cosmetic. Nobody warns the average member here that the product itself needs a fortnight before the results mean anything. From what I have seen the complaints about no email dating sites just filled with anonymous bots are really complaints about bot accounts across the whole category.

  • Low effort, high signal: check activity at different hours
  • One I wish I had done sooner: fill the profile out properly first on a weekday and again at the weekend
  • Message five people and count the replies twice, a fortnight apart

Leaving it there on no email dating sites just filled with anonymous bots. Curious whether fake profiles plays out the same elsewhere. For comparison I also tried Datebie — worth a look, which handles the same problem differently.
