What are the worst dating sites you've ever used?

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

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

Where worst is concerned, these are the dating sites questions I have:

• Whether worst is the reason dating sites feels inconsistent
• Whether worst is worth prioritising over everything else in dating sites
• What the worst side of dating sites looks like in practice
• Whether anyone has tested worst properly on dating sites
• How much worst actually costs you when using dating sites

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

Someone recommended the Datedesire threads to me during my own search around dating sites and it was better than I expected.

Agreed, and specifically on worst — that is where dating sites either works or falls apart.

Not affiliated with anyone, but Ezhookups.online solved the messaging-paywall part of dating sites for me last year.

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

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

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

Have you looked at the worst side of dating sites yet, or still on the basics?

Does worst actually matter for what you want, or is it a side issue for dating sites?

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

The worst variable is doing a lot of work in this discussion of dating sites.

Someone will probably mention Ezhookups.site before this thread is done.
