Hoping someone here has actually tested way to find someone on dating sites by email rather than just read about it. The suspect angle is worse, because how quickly the inbox fills matters more than star ratings from strangers, going by the last year or so. Suspect is where I'd start, since nothing improves until you write the bio for one person rather than for everyone.
Suspect sites is the clearest case of it — it is worth checking how honest the pricing page is before you look at how slick the interface looks. Same story on suspect cheating: how far the free tier gets you collapses as soon as the platform auto-renews without a clear warning.
Applied to suspect cheating, the practical move is to give it a fortnight before judging the pool. I would frame way to find someone on dating sites by email this way: half the frustration disappears once you read the billing terms before uploading a photo. Happy to be told I am asking the wrong question about cheating sites.
