2021-08-22 [private message from a user]: "I really like this site. I've had more real conversations here than I have in many other locations because it's not just about dating. You can have friendly connections and connect about a subject matter. Having shared interests and something to talk about makes connections flow more naturally - and having the same profile for both friends and romantic interests is perfect. Compartmentalizing things makes it much harder to connect.
Thank you very much for this groundbreaking way of handling an online dating platform."

I've only been on a couple of weeks but have had some great conversation and it's helped me come out of my shell a bit. I've been spreading the word where I can. Thank you again. :)"

I love it! The admin Viktor is great and its great to meet like-minded friends and potential romantic partners. Ironically I'm W4M and its so hard for me to find single FI/RE men. I love the ratio haha

I’ve been a user for a little bit now and really like it. The potentials for meeting either a new friend or long term partner with similar goals as yourself is super appealing to me :)

I like the slower pace and there aren’t a ton of fake profiles. Doesn’t feel like a meat market like other apps
2021-04-22 [comment on Reddit]: "I've been using it for a few months and I think it's pretty great. The userbase is small, but per unit time (time spent looking a profiles, responding to messages, etc.), I think it's the highest ROI online dating site I use.
I'm much more likely to have conversations with people who have similar values (and not just with respect to financial goals), my match rate with people I think are interesting is higher, women are much more likely to "like" me without my having liked them first (I'm a Canadian hetero dude), etc. Even though the number of users on the site is low, I've actually gotten more "likes" on Firedating than on Bumble (which must have at least 1000x more users and could easily have many more orders of magnitude more users) *and* when I match with somebody, it's an interesting conversation half the time, which absolutely blows away any other dating site I've used in terms of rate of good conversations per match.
BTW, even though there's a field for your FI%, I don't have mine listed, so that's not why I'm getting so many matches."
