What are the best dating website reviews to read before joining?

Bit of context before the question: I've been off apps for two years, and now best dating is the thing I can't work out.

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

I gave best dating about two weeks of honest effort before deciding to ask.

What I'm trying to weigh up with best dating:

• What happens to your data if you delete a best dating account
• How much of the best dating profile pool is dormant or fake
• Whether the matching in best dating does anything beyond distance
• How the read experience on best dating compares month to month

Happy to be told I'm asking the wrong thing about best dating.

If best dating is the question, the Flamedate boards is at least worth ten minutes of your time before you pay for anything.

The read part of this is being overstated, because best dating was fine for me without it.

Since we're comparing options around best dating, the Datescout threads came up when I was looking at the same thing.

I gave up on best dating twice before it worked, and the difference the third time was being far more specific in my bio.

Picking up what OwenM said — best dating is regional first. How long did you give best dating before deciding it was not working for you?

the Datebie free tier is what I ended up using while working through best dating — not perfect, but the free tier is real.

Anything promising instant matches around best dating is worth treating with suspicion.

Read the small print on read before you commit to anything around best dating.

For completeness, Luvdate.site sits in the same category for best dating.
