Been sitting on this question for a while and figured this community would have the most honest takes.

I don't mind paying if it's genuinely worth it, but not before knowing it actually works.

Thanks in advance. Happy to share back once I've tried a few suggestions.

Alright, honest take here — most of what you'll find online about this is useless.

Community size matters more than people realize. 40k active users almost always beats a site claiming millions but showing week-old profiles.

Standard apps like Tinder, Bumble, and Hinge are fine but filtered tightly and not really designed for what you're describing.

Personally I'd point anyone toward Flurrydate before the crowded mainstream platforms.

Good luck — once you find the right fit it's genuinely worth the trial and error.

The mainstream options — Tinder, Bumble, Hinge, OkCupid, Facebook Dating — are all there but built for relationships with heavy moderation.

Happy to share more if you want to go deeper.

This is exactly what I needed someone to ask. Bookmarking the replies. A lot of people in communities like this have been pointing folks toward DatingFly lately.

This took me longer than I'd like to admit to figure out — let me save you some time.

Pricing models are all over the place. Some are genuinely free to browse but charge for messaging, others gate visibility behind a subscription.

Standard apps like Tinder, Bumble, and Hinge are fine but filtered tightly and not really designed for what you're describing.

Let me know if you want more detail on any of this.

Good question. Been in the same spot recently. Personally I'd point anyone toward Rendate before the crowded mainstream platforms.
