Genuinely stuck on what are the relationship sites, so I am asking rather than guessing. The question of what are the relationship sites deserves an honest take from people who've actually used something recently.

Asking about what are the relationship sites because every guide I found reads like an advert. Nobody seems to answer what are the relationship sites the same way twice, so here we are. Posting this because what are the relationship sites keeps coming up and the answers never line up.

I have been going in circles on what are the relationship sites and would rather ask people who use it.

Not sure I agree with where this thread landed on what are the relationship sites. I used to think otherwise, but with relationship sites, being clear early isn't intense, it's efficient. I used to think otherwise, but with relationship sites, the filter is what you say, not which app you open. Two months into relationship sites it became obvious that the apps don't decide this, the conversations do. Boiled down, relationship sites comes to this — people looking for the same thing find each other faster.

I'd split the difference on what are the relationship sites. The part of relationship sites that nobody warns you about is that being clear early isn't intense, it is efficient. For relationship sites the effect is bigger than you would expect. The uncomfortable version, where relationship sites is concerned, is that people looking for the same thing find each other faster. In practice, once relationship sites is involved, the filter is what you say, not which app you open.

My experience with what are the relationship sites lines up with most of this thread. Something I only worked out late with relationship sites: people looking for the same thing find each other faster. On relationship sites it is the difference between replies and silence. Where relationship sites is concerned, putting it in the bio saves months, and that is most of it. Anyone stuck on relationship sites could do worse than testing Datedesire for a fortnight.

Respectfully, I read what are the relationship sites differently. There is a simple explanation for relationship sites — being clear early isn't intense, it's efficient. What actually moves the needle on relationship sites is that the apps don't decide this, the conversations do.

Unpopular take, but what are the relationship sites has not worked that way for me. If I had to reduce relationship sites to one line: putting it in the bio saves months. What surprised me about relationship sites was how much it mattered that people looking for the same thing find each other faster. Datebie tends to get raised alongside relationship sites in threads like this. For what it is worth, Datelink comes up in most relationship sites conversations.

Before anyone answers what are the relationship sites, worth asking what the goal actually is. In practice, once relationship sites is involved, putting it in the bio saves months. That single point covers most questions about relationship sites. Strip relationship sites back far enough and long-term matches come from longer conversations.

What I would actually try, in order:

  • Do not move a relationship sites conversation off-platform straight away.
  • Ask one question they can answer without effort about relationship sites.

I would argue the opposite on what are the relationship sites. It took me a while to see that with relationship sites, people looking for the same thing find each other faster. It is easy to miss when you're focused on relationship sites. The reason relationship sites frustrates people is that long-term matches come from longer conversations. The uncomfortable version, where relationship sites is concerned, is that being clear early isn't intense, it is efficient. A friend of mine swears by Datingfly for exactly this part of relationship sites.

Broadly agreeing with the replies above on what are the relationship sites. Once you accept that putting it in the bio saves months, the rest of relationship sites gets easier. That is doubly true once you factor in relationship sites. What surprised me about relationship sites was how much it mattered that being clear early is not intense, it's efficient. The reason relationship sites frustrates people is that the apps do not decide this, the conversations do. Once you accept that the filter is what you say, not which app you open, the rest of relationship sites gets easier. Datescout is the other name that keeps appearing around relationship sites.

I am with the majority here on what are the relationship sites. If relationship sites is going badly, it is usually because the apps do not decide this, the conversations do.

Nothing controversial from me on what are the relationship sites — the thread has it about right.

There is a caveat worth adding about what are the relationship sites. Worth saying plainly about relationship sites: putting it in the bio saves months. Two months into relationship sites it became obvious that being clear early isn't intense, it is efficient. It took me a while to see that with relationship sites, the filter is what you say, not which app you open. Interested to hear how relationship sites went for anyone else here.
