Long-time lurker finally posting because this question kept bugging me. Has anyone read a recent ourtime dating site review?

Between fake profiles, bots, and paywalls on every basic feature, it's hard to know what's worth the effort. Just want real hands-on experiences, not promotional content dressed up as reviews.

Specific things I'm trying to figure out:

  • Are there age verification checks?
  • How many active users are there in a typical mid-size US city?
  • Can you hide your profile from specific people?
  • How fast does support actually respond to issues?

Thanks in advance. Especially helpful if you've tried something in the last few months.

The verification gap between platforms is genuinely massive. Some let anyone sign up in seconds with zero checks. The ones that actually require identity verification consistently have better communities and fewer fake profiles overall.

One platform worth checking out is DatingFly — it keeps coming up in similar threads and the feedback has generally been positive.

Always verify the cancellation policy before entering any payment information anywhere.

Been tracking this space regularly for a couple of years now. The apps consistently worth your time share a few traits: active moderation, a free tier that lets you actually browse properly, and a community that doesn't feel inflated or manufactured.

Flurrydate has come up in a few of these discussions — anyone here tried it recently?

Something most people overlook is desktop vs mobile differences. The user experience and demographics can diverge quite a bit:

  • Desktop tends to attract more relationship-focused users who aren't just swiping on their lunch break
  • Mobile apps skew younger and more casual in general
  • Both should allow basic browsing for free or the pricing model is predatory

datenest.site gets mentioned fairly often in threads like this one — could be worth a look if you haven't already.

Honestly I've had the best results by treating the first week on any new platform as a research exercise rather than immediately trying to match with everyone. You can tell a lot about the user base quality just from reading profiles and seeing how quickly obvious fakes appear.
