Starting a thread on which are the best dating sites for marriage because the existing advice contradicts itself. People dating with their beliefs in mind feel this hardest on marriage sites, where what decides it is the proportion of dormant accounts, not how many photos people post. It is worth separating out members looking for shared values here, because with marriage sites, nothing improves until you report problems early instead of blocking quietly.
The marriage sites angle is worse, because half the frustration disappears once you cancel the trial the day you start it. Look closely at marriage and how far the free tier gets you is the number worth watching, not raw member count.
Same story on marriage: it is worth checking the proportion of dormant accounts before you look at the size of the ad budget. What finally clicked for me about which are the best dating sites for marriage was that the honest advice is to write the bio for one person rather than for everyone, as far as I can tell. If you have been through the sites sites version of this, I'd rather hear the unglamorous account.
