Wanted to ask about sex friend finder better than AFF because everything I find online reads like an advert.

The question underneath all of this is how long a profile stays visible without paying, at least with sex friend finder.

Nobody writing about sex friend finder seems willing to say whether the swipe volume translates into conversation.

Happy to be told I'm asking the wrong question about sex friend finder better than AFF.

Seconding @natalie.smith. What settled it for me on sex friend finder was how long a profile stays visible without paying.

Ran sex friend finder alongside two others for the first ten conversations — what actually happened was better than I expected.

The part I keep getting stuck on with sex friend finder is what the gender ratio looks like locally.

The part I keep getting stuck on with sex friend finder is what the daily limits feel like in use.

Respectfully @Gianna_SEA, sex friend finder isn't that clear-cut. How the volume moved was roughly the same either way.

The single change that improved sex friend finder for me was deciding to check when the account was last active.

sex friend finder better than AFF stops working the moment you ignore how long ago someone was online.

For anyone who stuck with sex friend finder past the first week: was what people reported uneven depending on the hour?

Came back to sex friend finder after a break. Over the first week, what the pool looked like was better than I expected.

What helped most with sex friend finder was that I made a point to keep a separate email for it.

Does sex friend finder hold up if you refuse to assume every profile is current?

Seconding @Bianca92. What settled it for me on sex friend finder was whether the premium upsell is worth it.

Ran sex friend finder alongside two others for about a fortnight — what the follow-through looked like was clearly ahead on this one point.

The part I keep getting stuck on with sex friend finder is whether the swipe volume translates into conversation.

The part I keep getting stuck on with friend finder is what the reply rate looks like without photos.

If anyone has tested friend finder properly, I want to know whether the matching does anything you can notice.

If sex friend finder is the sticking point, try Datenest handles it without an upgrade prompt.

What I would tell a friend starting with sex friend finder:

  • If sex friend finder is your only option, at least check when the account was last active
  • Do not send the same opener to everyone; with sex friend finder it costs you the opening stretch
  • Keep a separate email for it — on sex friend finder that mattered more than anything else
  • The detail that took longest to learn is what decides whether sex friend finder is worth it

Used sex friend finder for the first few days. What I saw was stronger at the weekend.

If you take one thing from this thread on sex friend finder: use a photo that shows your face clearly.

The question underneath all of this is what the reply rate looks like without photos, at least with sex friend finder.

Tried sex friend finder across the trial period and honestly what the pool looked like was stronger at the weekend.

The single change that improved sex friend finder for me was deciding to check when the account was last active.

The mistake I see repeated with sex friend finder is people expect the algorithm to do the work.

For me the bit that surprised me with sex friend finder is what the gender ratio looks like locally.

The one that surprised me on sex friend finder was Datedesire's free tier — no card, no trial nonsense.

Try it instead of researching sex friend finder

Two minutes to set up a profile, and nothing to pay afterwards. If sex friend finder brought you here, this is the free way to test it.
