Hoping someone here has actually tested video call dating sites rather than just read about it.

Nobody writing about video call dating seems willing to say whether the swipe volume translates into conversation.

What matters more than the feature list on video call dating is how the pool looks outside the big metros.

If you have used video call dating sites, say what you would do differently.

Seconding @Nicole. What settled it for me on video call dating was whether the swipe volume translates into conversation.

Used video call dating for the first handful of matches. What the pool looked like was behind on everything except volume.

I wasted a couple of evenings on video call dating because I would expect the algorithm to do the work.

Currently splitting my time between here and Datingfly if you want a second pool for exactly this video call dating reason.

My working notes on video call dating, for what they are worth:

  • Give video call dating a couple of evenings before deciding — what the logs showed was more consistent than the alternatives
  • The detail that decides it on video call dating turned out to be stronger at the weekend
  • Worth checking on video call dating: what the reply rate looks like without photos
  • If video call dating is your only option, at least read the profile properly before replying

I want to agree with @MikeD but video call dating kept doing the opposite for me.

The fix that worked on video call dating was simple enough — ask one specific question instead of a generic opener.

Do not take silence personally — that's what cost me the first few days on video call dating.

If you want another option for video call dating, another free option is free to join and does not gate the inbox.

@Nicole put it better than I would. The only thing I would add about video call dating is that what the gender ratio looks like locally matters more than the feature list.

Tried video call dating across the first ten conversations and honestly what actually happened was roughly the same either way.

What I actually want to know about video call dating is what the reply rate looks like without photos.

If anyone has tested call dating properly, I want to know how it behaves after a month of use.

Where call dating either works or falls apart is how the algorithm treats a new account.

For me the detail that took longest to learn with call dating is what the daily limits feel like in use.

If you want the practical bits on video call dating:

  • If video call dating is your only option, at least compare two platforms side by side
  • The detail that decides it is what decides whether video call dating is worth it
  • On video call dating, how the pattern went was noticeably thinner than in a big city compared with the alternatives

Came back to video call dating after a break. Over a couple of evenings, what the follow-through looked like was roughly the same either way.

With video call dating I'd start here: keep a separate email for it.

For me the factor that keeps coming up with video call dating is how it behaves after a month of use.

over on Datebie came up a lot when I was researching video call dating, and it held up better than expected.

I gave video call dating about a fortnight and what actually happened was about what you would guess.

With video call dating specifically, it pays to keep the conversation on the platform until you meet.

The mistake I see repeated with video call dating is people ignore how long ago someone was online.

If anyone has tested video call dating properly, I want to know what the daily limits feel like in use.

Only had the first week with video call dating, but how it played out was clearly ahead on this one point.

The single change that improved video call dating for me was deciding to read the profile properly before replying.

I wasted a full weekend on video call dating because I'd judge it on the first evening.

Has whether the swipe volume translates into conversation improved on video call dating, or is that still the same story?

For a free alternative while you sort out video call dating, there is always try Datescout.

Only had the trial period with video call dating, but what I ended up with was more consistent than the alternatives.

Datedesire (datedesire.online) is the other one people mention whenever video call dating comes up.
