Before anyone sinks time into 50 plus dating sites, I would check these:
- whether the unmatch behaviour is genuinely enforced when you test it against dating sites
- whether read receipts behaves the way the marketing says when you test it against dating sites
- whether daily message limits on dating sites actually works
Where 50 plus dating sites is concerned, whether you can reply without paying is the test.
My read on 50 plus dating sites: free access to messaging is the dividing line.
What changed my results with dating sites was being explicit about what I was looking for.
I would frame dating sites this way: what the free tier actually allows is the real question.
The thing people miss about 50 plus dating sites is that whether messaging is free changes everything.
I have also seen datenest.site recommended for dating sites in discussions without sponsor tags attached.
