Where can I find a legitimate list of free dating sites that are actually active?

Curious where people land on how to find a legitimate list of free dating sites that are actually, because I keep getting told two opposite things. The bit nobody covers on legitimate free dating sites is the upgrade nag.

Assume I know nothing beyond the obvious about free platforms. The thing people underrate about legitimate free dating sites is how much locked messaging depends on your own city.

Specifically, on legitimate free dating sites I would like to know:

• Screenshot anything odd on legitimate free dating sites before you report it — the point where it starts charging claims need evidence
• Write a first message that references their profile, not your own — legitimate free dating sites rewards it
• Block early and report often on legitimate free dating sites — it trains the feed faster than anything
• Photos with other people in them do worse on legitimate free dating sites than you would guess
• Test the upgrade nag on legitimate free dating sites deliberately in week one rather than hoping it improves

Happy to be told I am asking the wrong question about how to find a legitimate list of free dating sites that are actually.

I read Olivia Grant's reply on legitimate free dating sites and that feels too harsh on legitimate free dating sites, given the pay-to-see-likes trick is a problem across the free-tier sites rather than specific to it.

I keep two accounts running to compare the pay-to-see-likes trick across no-payment dating sites, and legitimate free dating sites sits mid-table. Take that as one data point on legitimate free dating sites rather than a recommendation.

Practical bits, if you are trying legitimate free dating sites:

Disagree, because blaming the paywall lets you off the hook — my legitimate free dating sites results improved when my profile did.

Your legitimate free dating sites results will vary by city more than by platform.

Three things that changed my legitimate free dating sites results:

• Treat your first legitimate free dating sites profile as a draft, because locked messaging punishes lazy ones
• Check what legitimate free dating sites does about the trial that quietly renews before you upload anything you would not want indexed
• Give legitimate free dating sites a fortnight of daily use before calling surprise billing a dealbreaker
• Compare legitimate free dating sites against free platforms on the same week, or the comparison is meaningless
