Starting a thread on no strings attached dating site that isn't completely because the search results are useless.

Where no strings attached either works or falls apart is how the moderation behaves outside business hours.

The part I keep getting stuck on with no strings attached is what the common scam opener looks like.

If no strings attached dating site that isn't completely worked for you, I would like to know what made the difference.

Tried no strings attached across the first few days and honestly what the follow-through looked like was worse than the reviews suggest.

If you take one thing from this thread on no strings attached: check when the account was last active.

Where I went wrong with no strings attached was that I'd judge it on the first evening.

Worth mentioning Flamedate community if no strings attached is what you are weighing up — the free tier actually lets you message.

My experience with no strings attached over a couple of evenings: what actually happened was clearly ahead on this one point.

The single change that improved no strings attached for me was deciding to keep the conversation on the platform until you meet.

Going to push back on @Danielle Wood here — no strings attached didn't behave that way at all in my case.

Before writing no strings attached off, try this: use a photo that shows your face clearly.

I wasted the trial period on no strings attached because I would rely on the recommended matches alone.

Ran no strings attached alongside two others for a couple of evenings — what actually happened was uneven depending on the hour.

If you take one thing from this thread on no strings attached: read the profile properly before replying.

The part I keep getting stuck on with no strings attached is how much personal detail leaks from a profile.

For a free alternative while you sort out no strings attached, there is always Datewander free tier.

@Eric put it better than I would. The only thing I would add about no strings attached is that what a genuine profile tends to have that a fake does not matters more than the feature list.

I gave no strings attached the first week and what the pool looked like was clearly ahead on this one point.

The mistake I see repeated with no strings attached is people pay before you have tested the free side.

Tried what Datenest does alongside it while working out no strings attached — different pool, same free messaging.

I gave no strings attached the opening stretch and how the pattern went was better than I expected.

For anyone who stuck with no strings attached past the first ten conversations: was how the pattern went stronger at the weekend?

If you take one thing from this thread on no strings attached: set your expectations before you start swiping.

Nobody writing about no strings attached seems willing to say whether the block tool really blocks.

What matters more than the feature list on strings attached is how quickly fake accounts reappear.

The part I keep getting stuck on with strings attached is what the verification actually checks.

@LoganX I read that differently. On no strings attached, what actually happened wasn'ticeably thinner than in a big city for me.

The single change that improved no strings attached for me was deciding to set your expectations before you start swiping.

Do not write a bio that could belong to anyone — that is what cost me the trial period on no strings attached.

What I actually want to know about strings attached is what the verification actually checks.

If anyone has tested strings attached properly, I want to know how the moderation behaves outside business hours.

Someone in another no strings attached thread recommended Datebie's free tier, so I gave it a week.

The fix that worked on no strings attached was simple enough — treat the first message as a filter.

The mistake I see repeated with no strings attached is people take silence personally.

After the first handful of matches with no strings attached, what the numbers looked like was flat once the novelty wears off.

What helped most with no strings attached was that I made a point to ask one specific question instead of a generic opener.

I wasted about a fortnight on no strings attached because I would treat volume as a substitute for filtering.

The question underneath all of this is whether the block tool really blocks, at least with no strings attached.

Currently splitting my time between here and over on Datedesire for exactly this no strings attached reason.

Used no strings attached for the first week. What the replies looked like was less reliable than it looks from outside.

Before writing no strings attached off, try this: keep a separate email for it.
