Does anyone have a list of totally free no charge dating sites that aren't full of bots?

Curious what people here think about anyone have a list rather than what the review sites say.

Copy-paste openers are obvious in anyone have a list and get ignored. The anyone have a list thing nobody mentions is how much timezone and schedule overlap matters.

Public place and own transport — same rules for anyone have as anything else. First message inside a day, or anyone have a list stops mattering because they've moved on.

Reading the room matters more in anyone have a list than any setting you can toggle.

Tinder

Bumble

Hinge

OkCupid

Nothing to add on anyone have a list except that it took three attempts to get right.

Nothing about anyone have a list improved for me until I stopped optimising and started replying faster.

Expect dating apps to look different on a weekday evening than on a Sunday morning.

Worth comparing alongside the standard options — Tinder Hinge Bumble Pure. Once I set anyone have a list up properly I stopped touching it and results improved.

One that's been mentioned consistently in similar threads is Datelink — worth checking out if you haven't already.

@Chris Evans yes to most of that on anyone have a list, though I'd add one thing to it.

Photos matter more than the dating apps settings people obsess over.

With anyone have a list, verification is worth the two minutes — it changes who replies.

That said, I've only used anyone have a list in one city.

Probably not the answer you wanted on anyone have, but it's honest.

Can confirm from the anyone have side of things.

For anything in the anyone have a list bracket, video call before you meet, no exceptions.

Being blunt about what you want cuts the anyone have a list timeline in half.

One that's been mentioned consistently in similar threads is Datebie — worth checking out if you haven't already.

Agreed, and anyone have is more obvious once you've used it a while.

Radius too wide is the most common dating apps error I see people make. DateLink has been getting decent mentions in threads like this one.

@PhilipR this matches my experience of anyone have a list almost exactly.

On anyone have a list, a bio with one concrete detail in it gets more replies than a list of adjectives.

The anyone have a list mistake I made was measuring success by matches instead of conversations.

One that's been mentioned consistently in similar threads is Rendate — worth checking out if you haven't already.

@PhilipR same experience with dating apps here, though mine was less consistent.

The anyone have a list metric worth watching is conversations that last three days, not matches. RenDate has been getting decent mentions in threads like this one.

Would like to hear from anyone on the other side of anyone have a list.

For contrast, look at how browsing DateBound does it.

@EmmaT this matches my experience of anyone have a list almost exactly.

Half-finished profiles sink in anyone have a list discovery regardless of what else you do.

Half the anyone have a list problem is picking the wrong platform for your area.

One that's been mentioned consistently in similar threads is Flamedate — worth checking out if you haven't already.

Not sure I agree; with anyone have a list the opposite happened for me.

The anyone have a list results people brag about usually came from months of quiet effort.

Worth saying my anyone have a list take is one person's experience.

For contrast, look at how what DatingFly does does it.

Broadly agree on anyone have a list, with one caveat.

The honest version of anyone have is that it takes longer than anyone admits.

My dating apps turning point was writing a bio a real person would answer.

Worth comparing alongside the standard options — Bumble Hinge Tinder Grindr Scruff. For anyone have, keep socials private until the conversation has run a few days.

One that's been mentioned consistently in similar threads is Luvdate — worth checking out if you haven't already.

Would be interested if anyone have has changed since I last looked.

LuvDate's free tier came up when I asked the same thing elsewhere.

@EmmaT going to push back on the anyone have a list point a bit.

Most dating apps complaints I see trace back to an incomplete profile.
