What are the best dating sites for single parents over 40?

Would appreciate honest takes on best dating sites — including from anyone who thinks it's the wrong question.

What makes best dating sites hard to judge is that everyone's experience seems to depend heavily on where they live.

Concretely, for best dating sites, these are my criteria:

• How the parents experience on best dating sites compares month to month
• Whether best dating sites is honest about parents up front
• How quickly best dating sites puts a paywall in front of a conversation that has started
• How visible best dating sites keeps you when you are not paying for a boost
• Whether messaging on best dating sites works without handing over card details

Particularly interested in the parents side of best dating sites if anyone has been there.

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

You've put your finger on the thing nobody says out loud about best dating sites.

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

Picking up what KatieM said — best dating sites is regional first. Agree with the framing here, because best dating sites really does come down to who is active near you.

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

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

For me the parents side of best dating sites was the surprise — I had not factored it in at all.
