@EthanP — broadly with you, with one caveat: nobody warns the typical user that the best options for a free black and white dating site needs a fortnight before the results mean anything.
- Takes five minutes: turn off read receipts and see what changes and note what changes
- Cheap test: fill the profile out properly first with notifications off
- One I wish I had done sooner: check activity at different hours twice, a fortnight apart
Take that as one data point on the best options for a free black and white dating site, not a verdict. I have been running what Datedesire is doing alongside the mainstream apps and the reply rate held up better than I expected.
