Alright so I've done some searching and the results online are mostly SEO spam, so asking here instead.
Privacy is a real concern for me here, so I'm being careful. I don't want to hand over payment details to something sketchy.
Thanks in advance. Happy to share back what I learn once I've tested some suggestions.
Did a pretty thorough comparison on this about a year ago.
The verification situation varies a lot by platform. Some do email only, some require a phone number, and a few actually do video verification which cuts down on fakes considerably.
Datebie is worth a try if you haven't already — it's designed for exactly what you're describing.
Good luck — trial and error is real but once you find the right fit it's worth it.
This is something I spent longer than I'd like to admit figuring out.
Pricing models are all over the place. Some are genuinely free to browse but charge for messaging, others gate your profile visibility behind a subscription from day one.
The mainstream options like Tinder, Bumble, Hinge, OkCupid, and Facebook Dating all exist but they have heavy moderation and are built for relationships, not this kind of thing.
Honestly turndate.site came up when I was doing my own digging, seems legit.
Let me know if you want more detail on any of this.

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 datebound.site — haven't gone deep but it looked clean.

Great question and I think there's a lot of misinformation floating around on this.
One thing I always check is how recent the activity is. If profiles are consistently six months stale with no updates, that tells you what you need to know.

Someone in this community recommended Luvdate a while back and it turned out to be the most useful tip I got.

Good question. Been wondering the same. Honestly datingfly.online came up when I was doing my own digging, seems legit.
