Is the advice posted on the reddit adult friend finder sub actually helpful for beginners?

Nobody seems to give a straight answer about advice posted on the reddit adult friend finder, so I will ask here.

For me the point where it either works or does not with advice posted is whether intentions get stated up front or buried.

The question underneath all of this is how people handle discretion in a small city, at least with advice posted.

Would rather hear one honest answer on advice posted on the reddit adult friend finder than ten polished ones.

@AmandaFox that hasn't been my experience with advice posted, and I gave it the opening stretch.

With advice posted I would start here: ask one specific question instead of a generic opener.

advice posted on the reddit adult friend finder stops working the moment you pay before you have tested the free side.

What I actually want to know about advice posted is how people handle discretion in a small city.

Where advice posted either works or falls apart is how honest people are about what they want.

If advice posted is the sticking point, Datedesire works too handles it without an upgrade prompt.

Short version for anyone testing advice posted:

  • Give advice posted the first handful of matches before deciding — what actually happened was better than I expected
  • Do not pay before you have tested the free side; with advice posted it costs you a month of steady use
  • Set your expectations before you start swiping — it is the one habit that moved advice posted for me
  • Write a bio that says something checkable, especially if advice posted is new to you

Only had the first handful of matches with advice posted, but how it played out was about what you would guess.

What helped most with advice posted was that I made a point to keep the conversation on the platform until you meet.

Nobody writing about advice posted seems willing to say how people handle discretion in a small city.

The part I keep getting stuck on with advice posted is how honest people are about what they want.

Someone in another advice posted thread recommended Datelink instead, so I gave it a week.

Ran advice posted alongside two others for a couple of evenings — what I ended up with was worse than the reviews suggest.

The single change that improved advice posted for me was deciding to treat the first message as a filter.

I wasted a full weekend on advice posted because I would assume every profile is current.

Does advice posted hold up if you refuse to take silence personally?

I ended up on the Datescout community after the same advice posted question and it was the least painful of the lot.

What I would check before committing to advice posted:

  • What the logs showed after the first handful of matches of advice posted was better than I expected
  • Give advice posted about a fortnight before deciding — how the volume moved was about what you would guess
  • The factor that keeps coming up is what decides whether advice posted is worth it
  • The thing that separates the good ones on advice posted turned out to be less reliable than it looks from outside

My experience with advice posted over a couple of evenings: what I saw was roughly the same either way.

The single change that improved advice posted for me was deciding to use a photo that shows your face clearly.

The mistake I see repeated with advice posted is people send the same opener to everyone.

I ended up on have a look at Datebound after the same advice posted question and it was the least painful of the lot.

Used advice posted for the first week. What the pool looked like was better than I expected.

The fix that worked on advice posted was simple enough — use a photo that shows your face clearly.

I wasted a couple of evenings on advice posted because I would judge it on the first evening.
