Are there any disabled dating sites that have a large user base in the UK?

I'll show my working below, but the short version is I want to know: disabled dating sites that have a large user base in the UK.

I don't trust app store ratings on dating sites — they're gamed in both directions.

Practically speaking, for dating sites I want to know:

• How dating sites handles base compared with the bigger names
• Whether the dating sites experience holds up after the first fortnight
• Whether base is worth prioritising over everything else in dating sites
• How much base actually costs you when using dating sites

Genuinely open to being argued out of my assumptions on dating sites.

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

Practical suggestion on dating sites: give it a full two weeks of consistent use before judging anything.

Broadly with you on dating sites, though I would weight moderation higher than you have here.

Not sure I agree. The people I know who did well with dating sites weren't on the biggest platform.

Does base actually matter for what you want, or is it a side issue for dating sites?

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

For anyone else researching dating sites, I would put Datelink's free tier on the list — free messaging on it, no card up front.

For context on dating sites: I'm mid-thirties, mid-size city, and the pool was thinner than the marketing suggested.

Can I ask what you have already ruled out on dating sites, so nobody repeats what you know?

I keep the Ezhookups free tier open alongside the bigger names when I'm dealing with dating sites.

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

My dating sites experience hinged on base more than on the platform itself.

Not affiliated with anyone, but the Flurrydate free tier solved the messaging-paywall part of dating sites for me last year.

One caution on dating sites — check what happens to your visibility the moment you stop paying.
