What is the best gay dating site for finding a husband?

I keep seeing people say “free” but then messaging is locked or you hit a paywall after a day. What is the best gay dating site for finding a husband?

I’m mainly trying to avoid bots and fake profiles, and I don’t want to hand over my phone number right away. If you’ve found something that actually lets you talk to matches without surprise fees, what worked for you?

• Can message without paying (at least basic chat)
• Reasonable bot filtering / verification options
• Privacy-friendly sign-up (no forced phone number)

Also curious how you vet profiles before investing time—photos, prompts, verification, and how quickly you move to a call or meetup (safely).

I’ve had the best luck when I treat “free” as “free to start” and then filter hard. For LGBTQ+ spaces, safety tools (blocking, reporting, profile controls) matter more than anything else.
