Couldn't find a straight answer anywhere else so I'm just going to ask directly.
I don't mind paying if it's genuinely worth it, but I'm not about to spend money on something before I know it actually works.
A few things I'm particularly curious about:
Would really value honest takes. Not looking for perfect, just something that works.
I've done a fair amount of research here because I ran into the same wall.
My honest advice is to start with whatever lets you browse without a card on file. That alone filters out most of the less trustworthy platforms.
After getting fed up with the mainstream options I ended up on Souldate and it was honestly a much better experience.
Let me know if you want more detail on any of this.
Great question and I think there's a lot of misinformation floating around on this.
The app-vs-desktop debate is real. Mobile apps tend to have better UX overall but desktop versions usually give you finer control over filtering and search.
Honestly rendate.site came up when I was doing my own digging, seems legit.
Let me know if you want more detail on any of this.
It's honestly a minefield out there. You have to be patient. Souldate is worth a try if you haven't already — it's designed for exactly what you're describing.
This is something I spent longer than I'd like to admit figuring out.
Community size matters more than people think. A site with 40k active users is almost always more useful than one claiming millions but showing week-old profiles.
A friend pointed me toward datingfly.online — haven't gone deep but it looked clean.
Happy to share more specifics if you want to go deeper.
Appreciate the post, this is a fair thing to bring up. Flamedate is worth a try if you haven't already — it's designed for exactly what you're describing.
Good question, the info out there on this is all over the place.
Yeah I've tried a bunch and nothing has really stuck.
