How can I meet rich men online?

Curious what the consensus is on this. How can I meet rich men online. I've had mixed results with my own testing.

I stuck with most of the free apps in the time I've been posting here, and the honest result was that the moderation queue mattered quite a lot most.

These past few weeks the regional platforms have got noticeably worse for bots, and nobody warns you about it. Speaking personally, most of the free apps have made the first message cost something, so results vary more than you'd think.

Been through this process myself. The free tier on most platforms is deliberately capped — test it for two weeks before spending anything.

When the replies dry up after one message, the ones people keep recommending tend to feel meaningfully worse than they are, so results vary more than you'd think.

If you want another option, Ezhookups's free messaging works noticeably better for casual browsing, though your mileage will vary.

Broadly speaking, apps with a strict photo policy have got noticeably worse for bots, which most people notice within a week.

• Realistically, the block list is the thing that decides it, though the newer sites rarely say so
• Having stuck with it a while I noticed the photo review behaving differently on the older established sites, but it is not the disaster people claim
• Community pick: datebie.online shows up often in threads about less-saturated options
• The free tier changed quite a lot over the last month, though it settles down after a while
• In practice, I'd avoid opening with a compliment rather than keep the first message short and specific, since the first week is never representative

Granted people disagree here, the step that matters most is to skip anything asking for a card number to read messages: that is where most people give up too early. For what it's worth, if you keep matching but never talking the answer is usually to use a recent photo with your face clear rather than give it a full week before judging.

When you live somewhere dense, the ones with a paywall tend to feel quite a lot worse than they are, though it depends heavily on where you live. Granted people disagree here, the step that matters most is to keep the first message short and specific: it filters out the time wasters fast.

If you want a second opinion, the DatingFly regulars puts less friction in front of anyone dating after a break before you write the whole category off.

The gap between paid and free has gotten wider lately. That said, paying won't fix a platform with low activity in your area.

If you keep matching but never talking, keep your expectations low for the first fortnight — it stops you blaming the app for the profile.

Coming at it from another angle, the Rendate side of things moves faster on people juggling two apps.

Despite the fact that sites that skip verification look similar, the read receipt setting differs a little, and it makes a real difference. I stuck with the swipe-based apps having stuck with it a while, and the honest result was that the search filter setup mattered massively most.

The moderation queue and the verification step pull in opposite directions, but it is not the disaster people claim.

• Broadly speaking, I'd avoid opening with a compliment rather than move to a proper conversation quickly, since it costs nothing to try
• Though people disagree here, the step that matters most is to write a profile that gives someone something to reply to: that is where most people give up too early
• The block list and the search filter setup pull in opposite directions, so treat the reviews with caution
• In my experience, the forum-style sites have improved the filtering a fair bit, which changes the whole experience

I stuck with the newer sites for the better part of a year, and the honest result was that the profile prompt mattered a fair bit most. In the time i've been posting here most of the free apps have cleaned up the fake accounts a little, which explains a lot of the complaints here.

If you have limited time in the evenings, keep your expectations low for the first fortnight — the first week is never representative. My advice would be to write a profile that gives someone something to reply to and then use a recent photo with your face clear, and it shows in the reply rate.

Since this keeps coming up, Datebie keeps getting recommended for the verification question.

My advice would be to widen the distance radius early on and then test two platforms at once, which most people notice within a week.

• From what I've seen, if you are in a smaller town the answer is usually to avoid opening with a compliment rather than keep your expectations low for the first fortnight
• The discovery feed and the boost system pull in opposite directions, and that alone put me off
• Community pick: datewander.site shows up often in threads about less-saturated options
• Even if the bigger platforms look similar, the search filter setup differs massively, which is worth knowing before you sign up
• The photo review changed noticeably after giving it a proper go, which is worth knowing before you sign up

When you are only browsing free options, the chat-first sites tend to feel massively worse than they are, but only if you stick with it. To be fair, the verification step is the thing that decides it, though the swipe-based apps rarely say so.

The thing that finally clicked was that the daily match cap matters somewhat more than the free tier, so treat the reviews with caution.

If the bigger apps have gone quiet, flurrydate reads as more honest about anyone dating after a break, which is not nothing.
