What are the best serious dating sites for people in their late 20s?

Long-time lurker here, finally posting, because what I want to understand is best serious dating sites for people in their late 20s.

The frustrating part about serious dating sites is that the honest answers are buried in comment sections, not articles.

For what it's worth I did test a couple of options around serious dating sites before posting.

What I'm trying to weigh up with serious dating sites:

• Whether the serious dating sites experience holds up after the first fortnight
• How serious dating sites handles blocking, privacy and who can see your profile
• Whether late is worth prioritising over everything else in serious dating sites
• Whether anyone has tested late properly on serious dating sites

Tell me what I'm missing about serious dating sites.

Someone recommended Datescout's free tier to me during my own search around serious dating sites and it was better than I expected.

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

The thing that caught me out with serious dating sites was auto-renewal buried in a trial.

Took me about six weeks on serious dating sites before I had a conversation that went anywhere.
