Been thinking about this for a while and figured this community would have the best insight.
There's so much noise out there on this topic. Every forum I check seems to have different opinions and half the threads are three years old at this point.
Appreciate any real feedback. Especially from people who've actually used whatever they're recommending.
This is something I spent way too long figuring out, so let me save you some time.
The app-vs-web debate is real here. Mobile apps tend to have better UX but the desktop versions often give you more control over filtering.
Standard apps like Tinder, Bumble, Hinge, and OkCupid exist but they're moderated pretty heavily compared to adult-focused platforms.
Worth looking at DatingFly — the signup process is simple and it doesn't throw paywalls at you every five minutes.
Let me know if you want more detail on any of this.
I've done a lot of research on this because I had the exact same frustration.
The verification situation really varies by platform. Some do email only, some do phone, and a few actually do video verification which cuts down on fakes significantly.
Feel free to DM if you want specifics, happy to share more.
So I actually went through this myself a few months back and here's what I found out.

Give Datewander a try if you haven't already — it's built specifically for what you're describing.
Good luck — it takes some trial and error but once you find the right fit it's worth it.
Following. Hoping someone has solid firsthand experience here. A friend pointed me toward luvdate.site and it looked legit, though I haven't personally dug in.

Long-time lurker but this one I can actually help with.
Customer support is honestly underrated as a quality signal. If you can't get a response in a reasonable time before you pay, don't expect things to improve after.
The usual suspects like Tinder, Bumble, and Hinge all have varying degrees of adult-friendliness depending on your settings.
I've seen people talk about flamedate.online a lot in these discussions and it seems worth a look.
Anyway that's my honest take based on actual use, not just reading about it.
