Testing anonymous dating sites for discreet dating taught me more about product design than about dating. Things improved for me on anonymous dating sites the moment I took what the app does with your location seriously.
The difference was smaller on these sites in day-to-day use but still there. That's my read on anonymous dating sites for discreet dating, for whatever it's worth.

There is a version of anonymous dating sites for discreet dating that works and a version that wastes your time.
What I check before committing to platforms like these:
how quickly anonymous dating sites removes reported profiles
whether you can hide distance on sites of this type
whether the free tier on sites for discreet dating includes search filters
The effect was more noticeable on the sites in question in day-to-day use than I expected. I will update this if sites for discreet dating shifts again.
I keep DateDesire as a backup when the main app goes quiet.

Building on what HenryB said — anonymous dating sites for discreet dating improved for me for exactly that reason.
My short checklist for discreet dating:
whether discreet dating shows read receipts on the free tier
how many sites of this type accounts look dormant
whether the sites of this type userbase is real inside your radius
The effect was more noticeable on sites of this type in day-to-day use than I expected. Worth testing anonymous dating yourself before taking my word for it.

Liam_SEA has this backwards in my view: with anonymous dating sites for discreet dating, whether you can use it without a phone number is the symptom, not the cause. All of this makes more sense once you accept that what the app does with your location varies wildly across platforms like these.
Worth noting that anonymous dating changed after their last update. Your situation might change the answer on dating sites completely.

Pushing back on Liam_SEA: whether you can use it without a phone number isn't the deciding factor with anonymous dating sites for discreet dating, reach is.
What I check before committing to sites of this type:
whether verification on anonymous dating is enforced or merely offered
whether the free tier on anonymous dating includes search filters
how anonymous dating sites treats a paused account
how quickly sites of this type removes reported profiles
Tested anonymous dating sites in day-to-day use and the difference showed within days. Would be interested to hear whether these sites behaved differently for anyone else.
Worth adding that the DatingFly community covers similar ground if you want a second opinion.
