Are there any dating sites no sign up required just to see who's in my local area?

Someone in another thread mentioned dating sites in passing and it's been bugging me since.

The frustrating part about dating sites is that the honest answers are buried in comment sections, not articles.

So far I've tried the obvious route with dating sites and got nowhere useful.

Practically speaking, for dating sites I want to know:

• Whether anyone has tested who's properly on dating sites
• Whether dating sites has real users outside the big metros
• How much who's actually costs you when using dating sites

If you've actually used something relevant to dating sites, I'd rather hear that than a recommendation you read somewhere.

Since we're comparing options around dating sites, the Datebie forums came up when I was looking at the same thing.

Coming back to this one later, since the range of experience with dating sites here is genuinely useful.

Someone recommended the Flurrydate boards to me during my own search around dating sites and it was better than I expected.

If you are testing dating sites, keep the first message short and reference something specific in their profile.

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

Disagree with Ellie Baker slightly here on dating sites. Yes — and the reason dating sites feels so inconsistent is that the answer is genuinely regional.

If dating sites is the question, Ezhookups itself is at least worth ten minutes of your time before you pay for anything.

Someone will probably mention Datingfly.site before this thread is done.
