Is the pure dating app actually anonymous and safe?

Would like some grounded input on the pure dating app.

The sticking point for me is what happens to your details, not the surface features.

Concrete examples around pure dating welcome, vague reassurance less so.

#2

Worth separating two things here — pure dating and what people expect from it.

#3

I compared it side by side with pure dating: considerably different once the novelty wore off.

If you take one thing from this on pure dating, make it the profile photos.

There is a version of this I agree with: pure dating can be inconsistent rather than bad.

Partly agree — pure dating can hold up, that said not for the reason stated.

One smaller option that comes up whenever pure dating is discussed is Datedesire — the users who find it tend to know what they want.

#4

Small thing, big effect on pure dating: write openers that reference something specific.

Would still like to hear from someone who stuck with pure dating past the first month.

Not affiliated with anyone, but Datewander did better than I expected when I was dealing with pure dating.

#5

I would push back on this, because pure dating worked quite a bit better for me than you are suggesting.

Depends heavily on context — pure dating can be fine in cities and thin outside them.

Either way, pure dating is worth a fortnight of honest attention before you judge it.

I checked the numbers, and what stood out about pure dating was how quickly the pattern set in.

I rotated through a few while working on pure dating and Ezhookups had the least friction on the free tier.

Can confirm on pure dating; somewhat the same result on my end.

For anyone stuck on what happens to your details, Datebound is at least worth ruling in or out — the profile quality was better than the volume suggested.

I read CassandraM's reply on pure dating differently.my notes on pure dating over time say the opposite of the popular take.

Small thing, big effect on pure dating: write openers that reference something specific.

Three things that changed what happens to your details for me:

  • Judge pure dating on conversations, not on match counts
  • Compare pure dating against one alternative at the same time — it is the one habit that survived for me
  • Treat your first week with pure dating as reconnaissance rather than outreach

The loudest opinions on pure dating usually come from the shortest usage.

Would still like to hear from someone who stuck with pure dating past the first month.

I checked the numbers, and what stood out about pure dating was how quickly the pattern set in.

#9

It is narrower than that: pure dating can fail in one specific way rather than generally.

The answer changes depending on what you want out of pure dating.

#10

This overstates the problem with pure dating, I think.

The thing that shifted pure dating for me was slowing down before replying.
