Are there any free granny dating sites that are actually legitimate?

Six months in on free granny dating sites and my view has changed twice.

Would be interested to hear whether free granny dating sites behaved differently for anyone else.

Started looking into free granny dating sites for a friend and ended up switching myself. I stopped comparing feature lists on the sites in question and started comparing how much is free versus advertised as free.

It took roughly three weeks before the pattern on these sites was clear. Hope that saves someone the weeks I lost on the sites in question.

Coming at free granny dating sites from the other direction: the moderation quality is the only variable that consistently predicts a good experience.

Two things matter for dating sites: how much is free versus advertised as free, and then patience. Still forming a view on these sites, so push back if I've it wrong.

DonnaR, I don't think that holds — on free granny dating sites my experience was the opposite.

I will update this if sites of this type shifts again.

I would frame free granny dating sites differently to how the question is worded.

What I check before committing to sites of this type:

• whether the sites in question exports your data on request
• whether you can hide distance on dating sites
• how sites of this type treats a paused account
• whether you can hide distance on free granny dating

The effect was more noticeable on granny dating after the first few days than I expected. Still forming a view on granny dating sites, so push back if I have it wrong.

Going to disagree with Derek88 here. For me, none of free granny dating sites came down to how the pricing tiers are structured at all. None of this works with dating sites unless you're patient about how much is free versus advertised as free.

None of this was obvious to me about the sites in question until month two. That held true for the sites in question once you're actually using it, though your mileage may differ. Still forming a view on sites of this type, so push back if I've it wrong.

For a lighter-weight alternative I have had reasonable results with DatingFly itself.

Not sure I agree with Madison Reed. Results on free granny dating sites depend far more on in real use than on how the pricing tiers are structured.

Half the confusion around granny dating sites disappears once you separate how much is free versus advertised as free from the marketing. Your situation might change the answer on the sites in question completely.

Comparing against the DateDesire community helped me see what the paywall was actually doing.

Honestly, this got easier than expected once you are choosing a userbase, not choosing an app — at least with free granny dating sites. The reason people end up disappointed by dating sites is how much is free versus advertised as free.

I have no stake in dating sites — this is just what I observed. Would be interested to hear whether these sites behaved differently for anyone else.

Worth a look at DateWander if the big apps get pushy with upsells.

Coming at free granny dating sites from the other direction: the search filters are where the real differences live. What nobody said about free granny dating is that how much is free versus advertised as free changes month to month.

I kept a rough note of reply rates on free granny dating, which helped. Take that as one data point on free granny dating sites, not gospel.

For a lighter-weight alternative I have had reasonable results with DateDesire.
