I prefer web over app. I tried a site which was said to be free. signup was fine so i started to use the site only to realise to see my matches or start chats i had to pay for a “premium” account or something. that really annoys me and it’s a waste of my time so does anyone know any good dating sites which are actually free, as in i don’t have to pay to use the site for what it should be used for? thx in advance 👍

oh and I’m looking for men, forgot to specify lol

    Ok Cupid used to be kind that, but they completely butchered the question part of it, in my opinion it is no longer useful. Also as a white cis male you get spammed there by literally hundreds of accounts from the Philippines. Makes the whole thing useless in my opinion

      Yeah that’s true. About 60% of the women I see are from Asia / Africa / South America.

      I wish they would disable the custom location feature to solve this clutter.

      I live in The Netherlands, there are enough people here on the app to make it worth while. It’s how I met my new partner.

        It’s REALLY useful for travelling/migration. I made a penpal/IRL friend through there using this very feature. They should deal with it by reports and etc.
