Short version on Meetme: it depends far more on your area than on the brand name.

I kept notes for a month on the app because I kept losing track of how much control you get over who sees you.

What decided it for me with the app was how usable it's one-handed on a phone.

The thing that finally moved the needle on the site was being specific about how much control you get over who sees you.

Unless you're in a major metro, expect how discreet the notifications are to be the limiting factor on the platform.

Most comparisons of the service skip how usable it is one-handed on a phone, which is the part that matters.

Would anyone recommend Meetme to someone starting from scratch?

One correction: on the platform, whether it thins out after the first week isn't what people assume.

What separates Meetme from the rest of the field is whether it thins out after the first week.

About 30 profiles into the app, the pattern around how precise the filters really are became obvious.

If you can only manage a few evenings a week, how aggressively it pushes credits at you matters more than raw volume on the app.

The signals that told me most about Meetme:

  • How quickly Meetme starts pushing a paid tier at you
  • Whether the Meetme photos survive a reverse image search
  • Whether the Meetme match count moves when you widen the radius

Does anyone know whether Meetme changed this recently?

Ended up splitting my time between this and Datescout's free tier.

SerenaMac covered most of it. The bit I would add on Meetme is below.

Two of us compared notes on the site and landed in the same place on how much of the base is genuinely looking.

If you're only browsing, it's fine. The moment what the app leaks to other members matters, it changes.

Given how whether the interface gets in the way behaves, I would only recommend that one to someone with patience.

Where that one stands or falls is whether you can hold a conversation without paying.

Seconding what SamFox said, with one caveat about Meetme.

If you only test one thing on it, make it how much control you get over who sees you.

Turning off read receipts made the service far less stressful, though it did nothing for how much control you get over who sees you.

Someone in another thread pointed me at EzHookups if you want a smaller pool and it was a fair shout.

Once I fixed my filters, whether it thins out after the first week stopped being the bottleneck on the service.

Things worth confirming before you spend a week on Meetme:

  • Whether Meetme shows you who has actually read a message
  • How fast a report about Meetme gets a human response
