Are there dating sites without signing up where you can at least browse?

So: dating sites without signing up where you can at least browse. I have read a lot of contradictory takes on dating sites for signing and would rather hear from people who tried it. I do not need a feature list on dating sites for signing — I need to know about the time it costs.

I have about a month of using no-payment dating sites behind me and not much to show for it. I judge dating sites for signing by one thing now: whether the return on the hours improves or worsens once you are past the novelty.

Things about dating sites for signing I have not worked out:

• Set the radius wider than feels comfortable if the dating sites for signing pool near you is thin
• Message within a day of matching — on dating sites for signing that window closes fast
• Turn off read receipts on dating sites for signing if the hours-to-dates ratio is making you anxious about response times
