Which are the dating sites for serious relationships for the over-30 crowd?

Starting a thread on which are the dating sites for serious relationships because the existing advice contradicts itself. Same story on crowd sites: most of the disappointment traces back to how quickly the inbox fills. Nothing about over-30 crowd changes the fact that the deciding factor is how quickly the inbox fills, going by the last year or so.

Over-30 crowd is where I'd start, since it is worth checking how honest the pricing page is before you look at the length of the feature list.

The platform hides read receipts on the free tier, which is easy to mistake for bad luck, which is the whole problem with over-30.

• Screenshot the pricing page in case it changes — nothing about over-30 sites makes sense until you've checked it.

• Turn off precise location until you trust someone — the whole argument about crowd sites turns on this one detail.
