Are there any actual 100 free dating sites left that aren't completely dead?

Decided to just come out and ask since the search results aren't giving me much.

Safety and privacy are also big concerns for me. I don't want to hand over personal info to some sketchy platform and then regret it later.

The account verification process tells you everything. Platforms that do nothing to verify are the ones you'll regret spending time on.

Any input is appreciated, whether it's positive or a warning. Both are useful at this point.

Someone recommended Datebie to me a few months back and I was skeptical at first. Ended up being one of the more useful ones I've tried. The sign-up is simple and they don't immediately push you to upgrade.

Here's the short version of what I've learned from trying a lot of different things:

The mainstream options have massive user bases but are also heavily gamified. For anything more specific you usually need to look at smaller platforms with more focused communities.

• Hinge is usually recommended for people who want something more intentional
• OkCupid has the most detailed matching filters of the mainstream options
• Facebook Dating is underrated just for the sheer number of people on it
• Smaller niche platforms often have better moderation even if the pool is smaller

Beyond those, it really comes down to your specific situation and location.

A friend pointed me toward Luvdate when I was in the same spot. Took about a week to really figure out how it works but after that it was much smoother than anything else I'd used.

The short answer is yes, but you have to be patient. Most of the decent options aren't the ones that show up first in search results.
