Why are so many free free dating sites actually just full of bots?

I keep running into the same wall with free dating sites and I'd rather hear it from real users than another review site.

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

Breaking free dating sites down into the parts I can test:

  • Whether free dating sites has real users outside the big metros
  • Whether free dating sites is honest about bots up front
  • Whether bots makes any material difference to free dating sites
  • How free dating sites treats bots once you stop paying
  • Whether messaging on free dating sites works without handing over card details

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

It's telling how many replies here about free dating sites contradict each other — that's the honest state of it.

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

Worth noting that nobody in this thread has agreed on free dating sites yet, which is itself an answer.

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

For free dating sites, log in at a consistent time each evening, because activity windows matter more than people think.

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

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

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

I've also seen Ezhookups.site mentioned in this context more than once.
