Curious where people land on there any good free friendship sites that are strictly platonic, especially people in general who've used it more than a fortnight. For most people asking this, there any good free friendship sites that are strictly platonic works a little better if you check activity at different hours. Ran that setup alongside the big names for over the last two seasons — same effort on both, meaningfully different outcome.

Ending on the useful bit: for most people asking this, read the billing page before you tap anything. Someone upthread mentioned what DatingFly is doing and I will second it — the free tier is genuinely usable.
