Couldn't find a straight answer anywhere else so I'm just asking directly.
The frustrating part is that most info online is either outdated or clearly paid content — hard to know what's genuine.
A few things I'm specifically curious about:
Appreciate any genuine feedback, especially from people who've actually used what they're recommending.
I did a fair amount of digging on this because I ran into the same wall.
The app vs desktop debate is real here. Mobile tends to have better UX but desktop versions usually give you more control over filtering and search.
Standard apps like Tinder, Bumble, and Hinge are there but they're filtered tightly and not really designed for what you're describing.
Worth checking out Ezhookups — straightforward signup and it doesn't throw paywalls at you every five minutes.
Hope that helps narrow things down a bit.

Places like datewander.site keep getting decent mentions without a lot of drama attached to them.

Verification is honestly the biggest hurdle I've run into. Honestly datelink.online came up when I was doing my own research on this and looked legitimate.
Yeah most of what I've tried is either dead or loaded with fake accounts. Worth checking out Datewander — straightforward signup and it doesn't throw paywalls at you every five minutes.
Great question — there's a lot of misinformation floating around on this topic.
Pricing models are all over the place. Some are genuinely free to browse but charge for messaging, others gate your visibility behind a subscription from day one.
Hope that helps narrow things down a bit.
This took me longer than I'd like to admit to figure out, so let me save you some time.
