Our Rating Process for the Top Portland Dating Sites

There are millions of online dating sites, apps, and platforms, and we ensure you have all the independent reviews and information you need to make informed choices about which are the right options for you. 

We filter through all the top-rated sites and recommend services that we feel provide the best value for money, real-life dates, and online security.

Each Portland dating site review we share is 100% autonomous and is written by one of our in-house reviewers. We test each site first-hand, so we know how it works and what the site is like to use, and we provide screenshots of the main landing pages, so you know what to expect.

Our reviewers spend time evaluating the costs of premium subscriptions, analyzing the quality of the profiles, how well the customer support functions work, and whether the member demographics are suitable.

After we’ve finished exploring each corner of a dating site, we assign a score out of ten based on our comprehensive assessment criteria and publish our advice and discount codes (where available) on the relevant dating rankings.

You'll see that all our dating site reviews are split into countries, locations, and dating categories, so you can skip to the best section for you, depending on your relationship aspirations and the types of dating apps you're after.

We don't do paid-for reviews, and we update our rankings periodically when we find an amazing new app or revisit a previous review and need to publish an update based on improvements to features, costs, or services.

Choosing the Ideal Dating Sites in Portland for You

The ideal dating site for you will very much depend on what you’re expecting from a date, partner, or romance – and there are never any wrong answers when it comes to love and romance!

For example, you might be interested in casual dates, whereas another reader might be seeking long-term commitment or marriage. Another person might want to meet LGBTQ+ singles, which would mean using a different dating site than the best app for a senior dater.

This natural diversity is why we provide dating site reviews and recommendations across a broad range of dating niches and categories, providing as inclusive a service as possible.

There are also differences between dating sites that cater to the same audience demographics, so reading a few reviews before you pay for a subscription or spend hours setting up a profile is time well spent.

Examples include matchmaking features. Some sites provide you with a grid of potential dates, and you can apply filters and requirements to narrow the list down and decide whether there's anybody you'd like to message!

Other dating sites ask you to complete quizzes and questionnaires and build a profile of your likes, dislikes, personality, and preferences. You get a customized match suggestion, normally every day, and can decide whether to take it further.

Best10DatingGuide reviewers keep all this in mind when we write our reviews and try to provide plenty of detail about pros and cons, costs, and sign-up processes so you can make a choice about which dating sites sound like a good fit.

Current dating site review categories include:

• LGBTQ+ and mainstream dating
• Christian dating
• Single parent dating
• Senior dating
• BBW dating
• Divorced dating
• Professional dating

If you don't know which dating site review category best matches your needs, we'd suggest having a flick through a few reviews, where you can check out the screenshots and go from there.

Safety Advice for Online Dating in Portland

Online security isn't the most exciting aspect of online dating. Still, it's also an essential element to consider when you chat with somebody online you've never met, provide your credit card details, or share information about yourself on a dating profile.

We always recommend using credible, established dating sites rather than anything weird or wonderful you've never heard of before. There are, unfortunately, some scam sites out there that will take your money without ever expecting to find you a date!

It's also essential to be mindful of what you put on your profile or disclose in a message. Fake profiles are few and far between, but they do exist, so it's best to proceed with a little caution and ensure your dating experiences are safe and secure.
