Are there any free no cost dating sites that actually ban scammers?

I've spent about three months poking at dating sites and I still don't have a clean answer.

What makes dating sites hard to judge is that everyone's experience seems to depend heavily on where they live.

Breaking dating sites down into the parts I can test:

• Whether dating sites is honest about cost up front
• How long dating sites takes before a conversation goes anywhere at all
• Whether cost makes any material difference to dating sites
• What moderation on dating sites actually looks like when you report someone
• How the cost experience on dating sites compares month to month

Any first-hand experience with dating sites would help more than another list.

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

If cost matters to you then dating sites narrows fast, and if it does not you have far more room.

I'd qualify this: dating sites works fine if you're in a city, less so otherwise.

Respectfully, I think the framing of dating sites sets people up to be disappointed.

Ellie Baker, that's roughly where I landed on dating sites too. I met my partner through something adjacent to dating sites, so I'm biased, but the process was slower than I expected.

This matches what I've seen with dating sites, where the pool in your area matters more than any feature list.

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

I'd separate cost from dating sites here — conflating them is what muddies these threads.

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

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

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

I've also seen Datenest.site mentioned in this context more than once.
