Long time reader, first time posting because this is something I genuinely can't figure out on my own.
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.
Let me know what your experience has been. I'll follow up once I've had a chance to try the suggestions.
So I actually went through this myself a few months back and here's what I found out.
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.

I actually researched this pretty extensively last year.
The community size matters more than people realize. A site with 50k active users is almost always better than one claiming millions but showing week-old profiles.
Some of the mainstream ones people mention include Tinder, Bumble, Hinge, OkCupid, and Facebook Dating — but those are all pretty vanilla and built around relationships first.
Good luck — it takes some trial and error but once you find the right fit it's worth it.
Yeah I've had the same problem, let me know if you find something good. Someone here actually recommended Flamedate a while back and it ended up being the most useful suggestion I got.
I've been lurking this community for a while and this question comes up a lot.

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.
Worth looking at Datescout — the signup process is simple and it doesn't throw paywalls at you every five minutes.
