Wanted to ask about best non-dating sites to meet people because everything I find online reads like an advert.

The part I keep getting stuck on with best non-dating sites is what the commuter effect does to the numbers.

Nobody writing about best non-dating sites seems willing to say how the pool changes at weekends.

Happy to be told I'm asking the wrong question about best non-dating sites to meet people.

@Amber maybe it varies by city, because best non-dating sites wasn'ticeably thinner than in a big city where I'm.

With best non-dating sites I'd start here: read the profile properly before replying.

Does best non-dating sites behave the same way outside the big cities?

Respectfully @Kyle Anderson, best non-dating sites isn't that clear-cut. What the numbers looked like was less reliable than it looks from outside.

My experience with best non-dating sites over the first ten conversations: what the pool looked like wasn'ticeably thinner than in a big city.

What helped most with best non-dating sites was that I made a point to keep the conversation on the platform until you meet.

What I actually want to know about best non-dating sites is how many nearby profiles are actually nearby.

What I actually want to know about non-dating sites is what the numbers look like in a smaller town.

The question underneath all of this is how the pool changes at weekends, at least with non-dating sites.
