The best casual dating sites in Ireland in 2024

In order to be abel to write authentic reviews about the presented sites, we have tested these portals ourselves over a longer period of time.

For this purpose, several male members of our team volunteered, signed up for a premium/VIP membersip, filled out their profiles on the respective sites and uploaded an engaging profile picture. This is the only way to get a realistic impression of the site, particularly regarding the total number of active members, the ratio of men to women and the confidentiality of the site.

In order to get a feel for the response rate of the women, we came up with a greeting message for the respective website and sent it to an appropriately large number of women in our area.

After about two weeks we then checked what we got back in terms of responses and whether these were from real members.We then wrote down our highlights, both positive and negative and marked them as key points above. 

After careful consideration, we decided to remove seemingly free sites from our test, as these usually only lead to poor results. On these (initially) free sites, women's response rates were either too low to be considered or the responses were written by fake members to rip off the male members in one way or another. Most of the time, they tried to lure us to other dubious websites or to get us to send them money. From this we concluded that men who are actually looking for women to cheat with should better sign up with one of the paid sites, even though they may not seem very appealing at first.

In the end, it is important to bear in mind that, as a rule, only members who are serious about it register on these paid sites. Women without serious interests or even fake members usually shy away from spending money on these sites, which serves as a natural filter. 

Nonetheless, there are both better and worse sites with more or fewer women among the paid casual dating portals. In view of this, we reviewed the currently hottest sites in order to form our own opinion.

We also asked ourselves this question at the beginning of our research. You often hear that there are only fake women or only women with financial interests on online dating portals. It is true that there are many sites to which these prejudices apply. These sites have landed directly on our blacklist. You will find only real women on all the sites listed in our ranking as shown above.

But who do you find here? Our results were really surprising. Of course, everyone is completely anonymous on the portals and, unless they want to be, they are not recognised by their neighbours or other people in their own area. Each member decides to what extent he or she wants to be found on the portals. Nevertheless, many female members in particular like to show themselves in the protected premium section, which can only be viewed by other premium members.

Many of these women are in relationships themselves, married, or already divorced. In general, almost all of them are looking for an adventure and men with similar interests and preferences. Therefore, these sites are ideal for finding possible common ground even before an initial contact is made. Many of the aforementioned dating portals work with some kind of profile on which users can fill in their interests and desires in advance.

Considering the large number of dating websites, men in particular often wonder which site they should best register with. This often has to do with their own search motivation. Naturally, it is impossible to take all interests into account in our test, but we have tried to cover what we considered to be the most important criteria. Therefore, our ranking is based on criteria that play an important role for any male user, such as the number of women compared to men or the response behaviour of the women contacted. Basically, our readers can be sure that they will definitely meet real women on the websites we suggest.

Yet we often find that members give up too quickly if no date is arranged in the first few days. We recommend staying calm in the beginning! Patience is absolutely essential in our opinion, in addition to a fully completed profile (including a photo). Escpecially our male members should keep in mind that most registered women are in relationships. As a result, it is often not possible for them to check their profile or inbox daily and instead they have to wait for a private moment.
