Even a partial answer on professional singles dating sites that host real-life mixers is more than I've now.

Peggy is half right, but the other half matters. most of the frustration with professional singles traces back to the conversion from match to conversation. If how many accounts are active is not sorted, professional singles will not go anywhere.

That list is what gets mentioned, not what I would personally back for professional singles.
