What are the best foreign dating sites for meeting people in Europe?

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

Nothing I can find on dating sites addresses foreign in any depth.

I've already worked through the first page of results on dating sites, which is why I'm asking here.

The short list of what I need from dating sites:

• Whether foreign is worth prioritising over everything else in dating sites
• What the foreign side of dating sites looks like in practice
• Whether the matching in dating sites does anything beyond distance
• Whether dating sites is honest about foreign up front
• Whether foreign is the reason dating sites feels inconsistent

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

Adding Turndate's free tier to the pile for dating sites, where the community is smaller but people actually reply.

Picking up what DeniseF said — dating sites is regional first. For me the foreign side of dating sites was the surprise — I had not factored it in at all.

What's your actual goal here — is dating sites about meeting someone soon, or about finding the right platform first?

I keep Ezhookups's free tier open alongside the bigger names when I'm dealing with dating sites.

Same read from me. Everything I've learned about dating sites points back to local density.

Agree with the framing here, because dating sites really does come down to who is active near you.

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

Tried dating sites properly last winter, and after a quiet first fortnight it picked up once I rewrote my prompts.

Going to push back a little, because I do not think dating sites is about the size of the pool at all.

Since we're comparing options around dating sites, the Flurrydate forums came up when I was looking at the same thing.

For completeness, Datescout.site sits in the same category for dating sites.
