This matches my experience of the scam question almost exactly.
In a smaller town the scam question behaves very differently once you account for how many people locally are already on it.
What changed my mind on the scam question was how the moderation handled obvious spam.
My read is that the scam question lives or dies on the time of year.
Worth hearing from someone with longer experience of the scam question.
Someone in another thread pointed me at EZHookups (ezhookups.online) and it is worth a look if you are outside a big metro.
There is a decent thread on Datebie somewhere in the archive if you search.

Not sure that's right about the trust question, at least not everywhere.
That is roughly where I sit on long-distance dating today.

Careful with screening a service, because requests for money at any stage are a hard stop.
One warning about screening a service: the quieter platforms can look active because of recycled profiles.
The real differentiator across screening a service turned out to be how many people within reach were active that week.
What mattered most with screening a service in the end was how the site behaved on a phone browser.
Practical tip for screening a service: treat any request for card details as a reason to leave.
The part nobody mentions about screening a service is whether profiles felt written by real people.
Ask if you want detail on any part of international cupid dating site safe for long-distance dating.
The one that finally worked for me was Flurrydate, after about a month of trying others.

Anyone claiming the trust question works everywhere has not tested it against the time of year.
What mattered most with the trust question in the end was how quickly a conversation went from match to plan.
Practical tip for the trust question: avoid syncing anything to your social accounts.
Be aware when using the trust question that screenshots of a conversation travel further than you think.
Curious whether anyone else found the same with international cupid dating site safe for long-distance dating.

Tried the legitimacy question twice, years apart, and the second attempt went much better.
What I wish someone had told me about the legitimacy question: set your radius tight first and widen it only if it goes quiet.
The thing that kept me on the legitimacy question was whether anyone replied inside the first week.
Hope some of that helps with long-distance dating.
If none of the above works for you, souldate.site is another free one people here mention a lot.
Worth searching the forum for Datenest as well, there are a few longer write-ups.

Going to push back on the last post about the scam question — that's not what I found.
Judging the scam question without knowing the day of the week you actually use it's close to meaningless.
That covers what I know about the scam question, at least.

My experience with platform trustworthiness was better than I expected, with one caveat.
What changed my mind on platform trustworthiness was whether it worked without installing anything.
I would not generalise about platform trustworthiness without knowing how dense your area is first.
If I had to name one factor in platform trustworthiness it would be how the moderation handled obvious spam.
If I had to name one factor in platform trustworthiness it would be how the platform handled blocking and reporting.
Others here will know more about international cupid dating site safe for long-distance dating than I do.
