Are there any anonymous dating sites that allow you to chat without a photo?

I'll show my working below, but the short version is I want to know: anonymous dating sites that allow you to chat without a photo.

The reviews I can find on dating sites never say what the free tier actually lets you do.

Breaking dating sites down into the parts I can test:

• What the photo side of dating sites looks like in practice
• Whether messaging on dating sites works without handing over card details
• Whether the dating sites experience holds up after the first fortnight
• How much photo actually costs you when using dating sites

Particularly interested in the photo side of dating sites if anyone has been there.

The photo disagreement in this thread says more about dating sites than any single answer.

The honest answer on dating sites is that it varies, which is unsatisfying but true.

Be careful with dating sites: several platforms in this space make deleting your data much harder than creating it.

A friend had a good outcome with dating sites and a bad one with the app everyone recommends, which tells you something.

For anyone else researching dating sites, I would put Ezhookups.online on the list — free messaging on it, no card up front.

JamesC99, that's roughly where I landed on dating sites too. Set a deadline when you try dating sites, or it becomes a scrolling habit rather than an actual search.

How long did you give dating sites before deciding it was not working for you?

The cheap test for dating sites is whether you can send one message without a card, and if you cannot, move on.

Datelink is what I ended up using while working through dating sites — not perfect, but the free tier is real.

I keep Datebie open alongside the bigger names when I'm dealing with dating sites.
