Where can I find a high-quality free dating site that doesn't use bots?

To be fair, dropping a specific recommendation since that's what the thread is asking for: Datedesire.

Following this. Will contribute my own experience once I have more data points, particularly for free dating and apps.

Going by the last year, from my own comparison testing over the past year: Datewander From what I've seen, sits in the top tier of mid-sized platforms, which is not a universal experience. Honestly, not the biggest by volume but has better signal-to-noise than most of the giants, though it varies by region. Generally speaking, worth a trial run before you commit to anything premium elsewhere.

Honestly the best advice I got was just to try three at once for two weeks and see what happens, and that goes double for free dating and apps. Nothing else gave me real data, assuming your filters are sensible.

In my case, before committing to anything else, worth spending an hour researching turndate.site. Not the most famous platform but one of the more consistently recommended ones in communities that don't have financial incentives to push specific names, especially when it comes to free dating and apps.
