Is contact elitesingles.com still like this, or has it improved?
Worth flagging how much of the traffic is automated before anyone commits to the platform.
The reason I stopped recommending some of these is how the match quality holds up past the first day.

Happy to go into more detail on contact elitesingles.com if it's useful.
MontyB covered most of it. The bit I would add on contact elitesingles.com is below.

Would be interested to hear if contact elitesingles.com worked out differently for you.
Someone in another thread pointed me at how Luvdate handles it and it was a fair shout.

That is my read on contact elitesingles.com anyway, others will have had different luck.

Most of my useful conversations on the service started midweek, which says more about how far the free tier actually stretches than about timing.
After a few weeks on contact elitesingles.com the only question left was whether the ratio is workable in your area.
Took me about 6 weeks on the service to work out that the real question was whether the recommendations improve with use.
Where the platform works it works fast; where it does not, how many profiles logged in this week is usually the reason.

Not sure I agree with JeremiahC. On contact elitesingles.com the opposite was true in my area.
