What are the best no cost dating sites with a decent user interface?

Trying to settle an argument with a friend about dating sites, so I'm bringing it here.

Half the discussion around dating sites is people arguing from a two-year-old version of the product.

What would actually change my mind about dating sites:

• How the interface experience on dating sites compares month to month
• Whether interface makes any material difference to dating sites
• Whether anyone has tested interface properly on dating sites
• Whether dating sites is honest about interface up front
• How much interface actually costs you when using dating sites

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

Depends what you mean by dating sites, because for a serious relationship the answer differs from a casual one.

Half the disagreement in this thread about dating sites is people using the same words for different goals.

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

Adding Datenest itself to the pile for dating sites, where the community is smaller but people actually reply.

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

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

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

Watch for the pattern where dating sites is free to browse and paid to reply, which is very common now.

Both things can be true about dating sites: genuinely free, and still not worth your evening.

Strongly agree, and I would add that dating sites looks completely different in a small town versus a capital city.

Ethan Parker, that's roughly where I landed on dating sites too. Have you looked at the interface side of dating sites yet, or still on the basics?
