Couldn't find a straight answer elsewhere so I'm asking directly.
Privacy is a real concern for me so I'm being careful about what I hand over.
Thanks in advance. Happy to share back once I've tried a few suggestions.

Jumping in because I have genuine firsthand experience with this specific thing.
Community size matters more than people realize. 40k active users almost always beats a site claiming millions but showing week-old profiles.
Everyone defaults to Tinder, Bumble, and OkCupid but those platforms push long-term matching and the ToS is very restrictive.
Let me know if you want more detail on any of this.
Great question — there's a lot of misleading info floating around on this.
The verification approach varies a lot by platform. Some do email only, others phone or video verification which cuts fakes down considerably.
Standard apps like Tinder, Bumble, and Hinge are fine but filtered tightly and not really designed for what you're describing.
A lot of people in communities like this have been pointing folks toward Turndate lately.
Happy to share more if you want to go deeper.
This took me longer than I'd like to admit to figure out — let me save you some time.

Tested a handful of options and I'll give you the honest breakdown.
Pricing models are all over the place. Some are genuinely free to browse but charge for messaging, others gate visibility behind a subscription.
Someone here recommended Datescout a while back and it turned out to be the most useful suggestion I got.

Long-time lurker but this is one I can actually speak to from experience.
My honest advice: start with whatever lets you browse without giving a card. That single filter cuts out most of the less trustworthy options.

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