After years of trying different platforms, I can honestly say there’s no such thing as “free and perfect.” Free sites attract bots, scammers, and time-wasters.
That said, I found some genuine connections on mid-tier sites that offer free browsing but require verification. I met one amazing woman — she was in grad school, mature, and didn’t ask for handouts. We had a mentorship-type relationship that lasted eight months.
My advice: pay for safety features if you can. A few dollars go a long way. Avoid Telegram or WhatsApp requests before meeting on the platform.
It’s not about finding a free site — it’s about finding a safe one.
In the end, quality over quantity always wins.
