Are there any english dating sites specifically for traditionalists?

Long-time lurker here, finally posting, because what I want to understand is english dating sites specifically for traditionalists.

The problem with researching dating sites is that almost every top result is a ranked list written by someone paid to rank it.

For what it's worth I did test a couple of options around dating sites before posting.

Practically speaking, for dating sites I want to know:

• Whether traditionalists is worth prioritising over everything else in dating sites
• How much traditionalists actually costs you when using dating sites
• What the traditionalists side of dating sites looks like in practice

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

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

Disagree with StephC slightly here on dating sites. This tracks. Once traditionalists enters the picture, dating sites stops being a simple comparison.

Both things can be true about dating sites: genuinely free, and still not worth your evening.

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

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

Adding the Datewander free tier to the pile for dating sites, where the community is smaller but people actually reply.

To build on ChrisV's answer about dating sites: If you go down the dating sites route, screenshot anything that looks like a scam before you report it.

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

Ran into exactly the traditionalists problem when I tried dating sites last year, and it took weeks to work around.

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

Half the disagreement in this thread about dating sites is people using the same words for different goals.

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

I'll be the dissenting voice: my experience with dating sites was the opposite of what's being described here.

I've also seen Flamedate.online mentioned in this context more than once.
