In your opinion, what is the absolute best free online dating platform available right now?

This might be an obvious question to some of you, but I'm stuck on free online dating.

Every comparison of free online dating I've seen skips the part I care about, which is what happens after you sign up.

My checklist for free online dating, in rough order of importance:

• How free online dating treats opinion once you stop paying
• Whether opinion makes any material difference to free online dating
• How visible free online dating keeps you when you are not paying for a boost
• Whether free online dating is honest about opinion up front
• Whether opinion is worth prioritising over everything else in free online dating

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

Disagree on one point: free online dating is far less platform-dependent than people here are assuming.

The opinion variable is doing a lot of work in this discussion of free online dating.

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

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

The honest answer on free online dating is that it varies, which is unsatisfying but true.

Adding the Datebound boards to the pile for free online dating, where the community is smaller but people actually reply.

For context on free online dating: I'm mid-thirties, mid-size city, and the pool was thinner than the marketing suggested.

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