Is there a free online friendship sites list for lonely people?

Made an account specifically to ask this one — free online friendship sites list for lonely people, and where people actually land on it.

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

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

If it helps, here is how I'm scoring online friendship sites:

• Whether the online friendship sites experience holds up after the first fortnight
• How online friendship sites handles lonely compared with the bigger names
• How the lonely experience on online friendship sites compares month to month
• Whether online friendship sites is honest about lonely up front
• What happens to your data if you delete a online friendship sites account

Particularly interested in the lonely side of online friendship sites if anyone has been there.

This is the correct question, and most threads about online friendship sites start two steps further along and miss it.

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

The lonely angle you raise is the part most threads on online friendship sites skip entirely.

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

Can I ask what you have already ruled out on online friendship sites, so nobody repeats what you know?

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

I keep Datebie open alongside the bigger names when I'm dealing with online friendship sites.

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

Practical suggestion on online friendship sites: give it a full two weeks of consistent use before judging anything.
