Two friends gave me opposite advice on safety, so I'm asking here.

Question for the group — I need recommendations for free dating sites for seniors for my dad. Separate email and location permissions off, then worry about need recommendations.

Yes, and the need recommendations for free point holds up outside the big cities too.

Anyone selling certainty about safety is selling something. If you want smaller communities to test, I’ve seen people mention souldate.site , flamedate.online , TurnDate as alternatives.

Small sample on my end for need recommendations, so weight that accordingly.
