What are the most active marriage minded dating sites?

This might be an obvious question to some of you, but I'm stuck on dating sites.

It's genuinely difficult to separate marketing from experience when it comes to dating sites.

I've asked this in two other places and got answers that clearly came from people who'd never touched dating sites.

Specifically, on dating sites, the things I actually care about are:

• Whether marriage is the reason dating sites feels inconsistent
• How much marriage actually costs you when using dating sites
• How dating sites handles marriage compared with the bigger names
• Whether anyone has tested marriage properly on dating sites

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

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

Once I sorted out marriage, the rest of dating sites became much more manageable than I expected.

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

Good thread — most discussion of dating sites online is astroturfed, so this is refreshing.

To build on Jake_NYC's answer about dating sites: Just flagging that some results you will find for dating sites are review farms rather than reviews.

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

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

The marriage element is where people get stung with dating sites, so check it before anything else.

The marriage disagreement in this thread says more about dating sites than any single answer.

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

If dating sites is the question, the Luvdate free tier is at least worth ten minutes of your time before you pay for anything.
