Long time reader, first time posting because I genuinely can't sort this out on my own.
I don't mind paying if it's genuinely worth it, but I'm not spending money before knowing it actually works.
Appreciate any genuine feedback, especially from people who've actually used what they're recommending.
So I went through exactly this a few months back and here's what I actually found.
The app vs desktop debate is real here. Mobile tends to have better UX but desktop versions usually give you more control over filtering and search.
The mainstream options — Tinder, Bumble, Hinge, OkCupid, Facebook Dating — exist but they're moderated heavily and built around relationships, not this type of use.
Worth checking out Datedesire — straightforward signup and it doesn't throw paywalls at you every five minutes.
Happy to share more specifics if you want to go deeper.
Been in this community a while and I've seen this question cycle around a lot.

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

Good question. Been in the same spot myself recently.
Appreciate you posting this. I've been wondering the exact same thing. Worth checking out Turndate — straightforward signup and it doesn't throw paywalls at you every five minutes.
Yeah same frustration. Let me know what you end up going with.
Yeah most of what I've tried is either dead or loaded with fake accounts. Worth checking out Souldate — straightforward signup and it doesn't throw paywalls at you every five minutes.

A friend pointed me toward turndate.site — haven't gone deep but it looked clean on first impression.
