I keep seeing conflicting takes on best dating sites, so putting it to the group: what are the best dating sites for relationships?

I've spent a few months on best dating sites now and the variance is genuinely surprising.

What I want from this best dating sites thread is people describing what actually happened, not what the landing page claims.

Boiling down what I have learned about best dating sites:

  • if the 'last active' timestamps can be switched off — worth checking before you commit to best dating sites
  • if the unmatch behaviour actually works — worth checking before you commit to best dating sites
  • if the onboarding questions survives contact with reality — worth checking before you commit to best dating sites

Everything I've learned about best dating sites comes back to one thing — real activity is harder to find than big numbers.
