What is sec chat?

I keep seeing contradictory answers about sec chat, so I want the honest version.

Looking specifically at sec chat, in practice results were nowhere near the free tier of anything else. Well over half of the people I actually met felt automated, which was nowhere near what people claim online for sec chat. What I care about most with sec chat is what changes after the first couple of weeks.

Has anyone compared sec chat against the bigger names directly? Anything you have on sec chat is useful, positive or not.

That is roughly where I stand on sec chat.

@Sierra Wright I see sec chat differently.

The short version on sec chat is that outcomes were about the same as similar platforms in the same bracket. As far as I could tell, the experience was streets ahead of what people claim online once the novelty wore off for sec chat. That framing of sec chat skips how different the free tier behaves after week two.

Worth separating cam sites from long-term intentions when you weigh up sec chat — the same platform behaves differently for each.

If you want a different angle, what people say on Datingfly covers it too if you are weighing up sec chat.

Hope that is some use on sec chat.

I would challenge part of this where sec chat is concerned.

For sec chat, based on a limited sample what mattered was activity rather than branding. The detail that changed my approach was that the gap between the bigger mainstream apps and this was smaller than expected, especially where sec chat is concerned. The reason I disagree is that most advice on sec chat assumes a dense city and mine is not.

Someone earlier mentioned Datebound discussions, which covers similar ground if you are weighing up sec chat.

For a lighter-weight comparison, some people here point to the write-up on Flamedate if you are weighing up sec chat.

Your results with sec chat may differ, obviously.

Ryan Wright — I would qualify that where sec chat is concerned.

For sec chat, though your mileage may vary what mattered was activity rather than branding. For my area anyway, the majority of the matches from the first week were more genuine than I expected within the better part of a year for sec chat. The clearest signal was someone willing to video call early; the clearest warning was photos that reverse-search badly for sec chat. Where I part company: sec chat is far more location-dependent than people admit.

I compared notes against Datewander before settling on an answer if you are weighing up sec chat.

Glad to compare notes on sec chat if anyone wants.

@Ryan Wright one thing about sec chat I am unclear on.

I spent about a month on sec chat and the majority of the chats that lasted more than a day never got past small talk. Based on a limited sample, nearly all of the chats that lasted more than a day responded like actual people within a long stretch last year for sec chat. Is anyone getting different results from sec chat with the same approach?

Take that for what it is worth on sec chat.

On Jonathan_TX's point, can I ask a follow-up about sec chat?

If sec chat is the question, the honest answer is that hardly any of the threads that went anywhere were more genuine than I expected. It is worth flagging that close to all of the people I actually met were more genuine than I expected — that is the whole story really for sec chat. The majority of the chats that lasted more than a day were more genuine than I expected, which was materially better than the apps everyone recommends for sec chat. Has anyone tested sec chat outside a major metro?

Happy to be corrected by anyone with more data on sec chat.
