Is there a complete list of all dating sites categorized by niche?

Long-time lurker here, finally posting, because what I want to understand is complete list of all dating sites categorized by niche.

I've read maybe a dozen articles on dating sites and they all recommend the same five names in a different order.

Concretely, for dating sites, these are my criteria:

• How dating sites treats complete once you stop paying
• Whether complete is the reason dating sites feels inconsistent
• Whether complete is worth prioritising over everything else in dating sites
• What happens to your data if you delete a dating sites account

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

Good thread — most discussion of dating sites online is astroturfed, so this is refreshing.

Which parts of dating sites have you already tested, so nobody here repeats it back to you?

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

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

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

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

Depends heavily on complete — take that out and dating sites becomes a much easier call.

For anyone else researching dating sites, I would put the Datescout threads on the list — free messaging on it, no card up front.

I keep Flamedate.online open alongside the bigger names when I'm dealing with dating sites.

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

Worth splitting dating sites into two questions, because the answers pull in opposite directions.

Took me about six weeks on dating sites before I had a conversation that went anywhere.

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

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

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