Are there any free christian dating sites over 50 that are actually active?

Posting this because I couldn't find a clear, current answer after a good amount of searching: are there any free christian dating sites over 50 that are actually active.

The landscape seems to shift faster than most review sites can keep up with. What everyone was recommending two years ago might have gotten worse, and there are probably newer options that haven't gotten much attention yet.

Main things I'm trying to avoid: fake profiles that never respond, aggressive upsell prompts every other click, and platforms that collect way more personal data than they need to. Privacy matters a lot to me and I think it should matter more to people in general.

Drop your honest opinions below — especially if you've had any experience with this in the past year or so. Negative experiences are just as valuable to share as positive ones.

Most of the frustration I see in these discussions comes from people using a platform for something it was never designed to do. I'd always recommend using a separate email address and keeping financial info completely out of it until you're confident.

Someone in a similar thread pointed me toward Datedesire and I've had a decent run with it — the sign-up process is clean and the free tier is actually functional. Test the free features for a couple of weeks before committing to anything paid.

Following this thread — I have the exact same question.

I've found that platforms with even a small barrier to entry tend to have noticeably more genuine users than the completely open-door options. A platform with slightly slower growth but stricter verification tends to produce better conversations overall.
