Lurked here for a while before posting. Is there a free dating site for married couples looking for polyamorous friends? Looking for current input, not what worked three years ago.

The reviews I keep finding are either years old or clearly paid placements. At this point I trust community posts more than any publication.

Specifics are welcome. The more detail the better.

Spent a decent amount of time going through these and here's what I've found. The biggest platforms — Tinder, Bumble, Hinge, OkCupid, Facebook Dating — have the user volume but also the most noise. Bots, stale profiles, matches that never respond. Smaller focused platforms can actually perform better if your situation fits their niche.

Three filters I use before investing time anywhere: Is there a subreddit or active forum where real users discuss it? Are there honest reviews from the last three to six months? Can I test messaging without payment info? If yes to all three — worth exploring.

Gave Flamedate a proper run after a recommendation here. Surprised by how functional the free version is without hitting a paywall.

I ran through a lot of these last year. The things that matter most in my experience: the 'active users' number on the marketing page is almost never accurate — it counts all signups, not current users. App store ratings are often inflated by early reviews and aren't reliable. Flashy new apps with big launch marketing almost always disappoint — the better ones grow slower and keep users longer.

Datescout is the one I kept coming back to. Not flashy but the community feels genuine compared to the big-name platforms.

Mid-tier platforms often hit the right balance — enough users to be useful, small enough to actually moderate.

Also been hearing consistent good things about souldate.site — the free tier apparently offers more than most without pushing an upgrade. Location is a huge variable. Dense cities have way more options than smaller markets.

One that keeps coming up and that I've tested personally is Datewander — real users, functional free tier, no card wall on signup.

Read the terms before signing up. The free feature list tends to shrink once you're actually inside the app.

Following this one. Same search, no great answers yet.

Checked a lot of these over the past year. The list of actually usable ones is short.
