Are there any popular online dating sites that don't use swipe mechanics?

Trying to settle an argument with a friend about online dating sites, so I'm bringing it here.

Half the discussion around online dating sites is people arguing from a two-year-old version of the product.

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

Practically speaking, for online dating sites I want to know:

• What happens to your data if you delete a online dating sites account
• How online dating sites treats mechanics once you stop paying
• Whether online dating sites is honest about mechanics up front

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

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

Agreed, and specifically on mechanics — that is where online dating sites either works or falls apart.

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

Agree with the framing here, because online dating sites really does come down to who is active near you.

VicKing has a point about online dating sites. Disagree on one point: online dating sites is far less platform-dependent than people here are assuming.

Test mechanics first, because it tells you more about online dating sites than any feature comparison will.

Adding Flamedate's free tier to the pile for online dating sites, where the community is smaller but people actually reply.

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

Set a deadline when you try online dating sites, or it becomes a scrolling habit rather than an actual search.

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

The mechanics part of this is being overstated, because online dating sites was fine for me without it.

I read online dating sites differently, because the bottleneck for me was never supply but how I was writing my profile.

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

Just flagging that some results you will find for online dating sites are review farms rather than reviews.

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