Does anyone know the history of the first online dating site?

Made an account specifically to ask this one — the history of the first online dating site, and where people actually land on it.

Nobody writing about online dating site seems willing to say plainly when something isn't worth the time.

I've already worked through the first page of results on online dating site, which is why I'm asking here.

Breaking online dating site down into the parts I can test:

• What moderation on online dating site actually looks like when you report someone
• Whether online dating site has real users outside the big metros
• How online dating site treats history once you stop paying
• Whether the online dating site experience holds up after the first fortnight

Will report back with what I find on online dating site if people are interested.

I'd separate history from online dating site here — conflating them is what muddies these threads.

There is a version of online dating site that is about features and a version that is about people, and they give very different answers.

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

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

I keep Datedesire itself open alongside the bigger names when I'm dealing with online dating site.

Someone recommended the Turndate community to me during my own search around online dating site and it was better than I expected.

Adding the Flurrydate forums to the pile for online dating site, where the community is smaller but people actually reply.

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

Strongly agree, and I would add that online dating site looks completely different in a small town versus a capital city.

the Datewander community is what I ended up using while working through online dating site — not perfect, but the free tier is real.

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