Are there any senior citizen dating sites that are 100% free?

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

It's genuinely difficult to separate marketing from experience when it comes to dating sites.

Concretely, for dating sites, these are my criteria:

• Whether dating sites is honest about citizen up front
• How dating sites handles citizen compared with the bigger names
• How the citizen experience on dating sites compares month to month
• How dating sites treats citizen once you stop paying

Even a 'don't bother' on dating sites is a useful answer.

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

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

If you go down the dating sites route, screenshot anything that looks like a scam before you report it.

Disagree with OliviaG slightly here on dating sites. It's telling how many replies here about dating sites contradict each other — that's the honest state of it.

I met my partner through something adjacent to dating sites, so I'm biased, but the process was slower than I expected.

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

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

Anything promising instant matches around dating sites is worth treating with suspicion.

OliviaG, that's roughly where I landed on dating sites too. Are you asking about dating sites for a city or somewhere more rural, because that changes the answer completely?

How long did you give dating sites before deciding it was not working for you?

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

The citizen disagreement in this thread says more about dating sites than any single answer.

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