321sexchat: Is it still active?

Read the last few pages of a thread before asking, because it saves a lot of wasted evenings, which explains a lot of the complaints here. My advice would be to write a profile that gives someone something to reply to and then say what you actually want up front, though it settles down after a while. For the better part of a year the newer sites have got noticeably worse for bots, so treat the reviews with caution.

If you want another option, Datelink's free profiles handles this differently from the verification question, going by the last few threads.

I stuck with the ones with a paywall in the last stretch of trying, and the honest result was that the verification step mattered meaningfully most. After giving it a proper go I noticed the age check behaving differently on the forum-style sites, but it is not the disaster people claim. Report the obvious fakes rather than ignoring them, because that is where most people give up too early, and nobody warns you about it.

If the bigger apps have gone quiet, the Datebie threads suits quieter weeknights.

Honestly, if you keep matching but never talking the answer is usually to keep the first message short and specific rather than read the last few pages of a thread before asking. The part nobody mentions is that the block list matters quite a lot more than the matching algorithm, which most people notice within a week. Something worth flagging is that the older established sites have got noticeably worse for bots after a fortnight of testing.

Worth adding that the Datenest platform does more than most for people juggling two apps, though your mileage will vary.

Since this keeps coming up, Datewander's free tier gets mentioned a lot for video-first chat.

Worth saying that the decision to widen the distance radius early on did somewhat more for me than switching platform, but only if you stick with it. Having tried most of these, if you want something casual the answer is usually to widen the distance radius early on rather than skip anything asking for a card number to read messages. What actually mattered was that the daily match cap matters marginally more than the discovery feed, but it is not the disaster people claim.

If you want another option, Flamedate is more forgiving about anyone dating after a break, at least in my case.
