Are there any good dating sites for nerds?

Been going round in circles on this one, so putting it to the board: good dating sites for nerds?

Looking specifically at good dating sites for nerds, from where I sit results were indistinguishable from the usual suggestions. Over about a month, roughly half of the ones that answered quickly were clearly recycled, especially where dating sites is concerned. What I care about most with dating sites is how it compares against the alternatives.

• Reverse image search before you invest any real time — which matters most for dating sites.
• Results were a clear improvement on what people claim online once I adjusted for area — which matters most for dating sites.
• Give any platform three or four weeks before deciding it is dead — in the case of dating sites.
• For dating sites, density beats every feature on the list (particularly for dating sites).

Did anyone find the paid tier changed dating sites materially? Real experiences with dating sites welcome, good or bad.

Open to being wrong about good dating sites for nerds.

Replying to SophieL: I would second most of this about dating sites.

Judging good dating sites for nerds fairly means separating the free tier from the paid one. The thing I keep coming back to is that the gap between the bigger mainstream apps and this was smaller than expected, especially where dating sites is concerned. A story that changes between messages was the one thing that never turned out fine for dating sites.

• Watch for someone who does not push to move platforms rather than the verification badge — in the case of dating sites.
• Keep the chat on-platform until you have met — which matters most for dating sites.
• Give any platform the past few months before deciding it is dead — true of dating sites (particularly for dating sites).

Make of that what you will where good dating sites for nerds is concerned.

After a few weekends of good dating sites for nerds, for what it's worth I would say the effort matters more than the label. Judging by my own run at it, the experience was broadly comparable to the paid options I tried once the novelty wore off for dating sites.

For the record, my experience of dating sites was this.

Looking specifically at good dating sites for nerds, with the usual caveats results were streets ahead of the niche platforms in the same space.

Replying to DylanY: contributing what I have on dating sites.

Coming back to dating sites, as far as I could tell the pattern was consistent. Over a couple of weeks, roughly half of the accounts with real photos were a waste of an evening, especially where dating sites is concerned. The part that surprised me was that a decent proportion of the conversations that got past hello were exactly what the profile suggested — that is the whole story really for dating sites. The thing I keep coming back to is that replies that reference what you wrote predicted a real conversation better than anything else for dating sites. The part that surprised me was that a profile that names specifics predicted a real conversation better than anything else, especially where dating sites is concerned.

Nothing about dating sites is settled, but under a third of the people in my age range turned out to be worth the time. The part that surprised me was that the gap between similar platforms in the same bracket and this was smaller than expected, especially where dating sites is concerned. Photos that reverse-search badly was the one thing that never turned out fine for dating sites. Where I agree: the basics of good dating sites for nerds are not complicated.

• Judge dating sites on week three, not day one.
• Results were nowhere near what people claim online once I adjusted for area — above all for dating sites.
• Fill in every optional field; the sparse profiles get skipped — in the case of dating sites (particularly for dating sites).

I am going to push back on this read of dating sites.

If good dating sites for nerds is the question, the honest answer is that under a third of the profiles in my area were more genuine than I expected. Profiles filled out properly is worth more than any badge on the profile for dating sites. Worth saying that the gap between the niche platforms in the same space and this was smaller than expected, especially where dating sites is concerned. That was true a year ago. On good dating sites for nerds specifically, it has not been true recently.

Draw your own conclusions about dating sites from that.
