The short answer on rank as the best legitimate dating sites is no, and here is the part that matters. Half the confusion around legitimate dating sites disappears once you separate what happens when you try to cancel from the marketing.

Worth noting that these sites changed after their last update. Worth testing rank as the best legitimate dating sites yourself before taking my word for it.

Liam_SEA's point about how the search filters behave in practice matches what I saw with rank as the best legitimate dating sites almost exactly. I stopped comparing feature lists on the sites in question and started comparing what happens when you try to cancel.

Support confirmed part of this about legitimate dating sites when I asked. Worth testing these sites yourself before taking my word for it.

Someone here mentioned over on SoulDate a while back and it was a fair shout.

Came here specifically because every article on rank as the best legitimate dating sites reads like it was written by someone who never tried it.

What I check before committing to sites of this type:

  • how many platforms like these accounts look dormant
  • whether photos on the sites in question can be limited to matches only
  • whether legitimate dating limits daily messages
  • whether the free tier on these sites includes search filters

Take that as one data point on these sites, not gospel.

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

Everything written about rank as the best legitimate dating sites assumes you already know whether the userbase is active in your area.

For these sites I look at:

  • how the dating sites feed changes after the first week
  • how the platforms like these feed changes after the first week
  • how many sites of this type profiles are actually active this month

None of this was obvious to me about legitimate dating until month two. Worth noting that legitimate dating sites changed after their last update. Your situation might change the answer on the sites in question completely.

AnnaK, that is fair for the average user, but it plays out differently on rank as the best legitimate dating sites for everyone else.

For anyone weighing up the sites in question, what happens when you try to cancel is the tiebreaker. Would be interested to hear whether these sites behaved differently for anyone else.

Someone here mentioned Rendate's free tier a while back and it was a fair shout.

Different angle on rank as the best legitimate dating sites, because my situation is not typical.

What decided it for me with dating sites was what happens when you try to cancel. Happy to go into more detail on dating sites if that helps.

Everything written about rank as the best legitimate dating sites assumes you already know whether the userbase is active in your area.

The real gap on the sites in question comes down to what happens when you try to cancel. Your situation might change the answer on these sites completely.

I keep Datebie's free tier as a backup when the main app goes quiet.

Going in on rank as the best legitimate dating sites is worth the effort, but not for the reason usually given. Two things matter for these sites: what happens when you try to cancel, and then patience.

I kept a rough note of reply rates on the sites in question, which helped. I ran two accounts side by side on the sites in question to be sure. Worth testing rank as the best legitimate dating sites yourself before taking my word for it.
