Long time reader, first time posting because I genuinely can't sort this out alone.
Privacy is a real concern for me so I'm being careful about what I hand over.
A few specific things I'm curious about:
Appreciate real feedback, especially from people who've actually used what they recommend.
I did a fair amount of research because I hit the same wall.
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.
Someone here recommended Flamedate a while back and it turned out to be the most useful suggestion I got.
Let me know if you want more detail on any of this.
Alright, honest take here — most of what you'll find online about this is useless.
App versus desktop is a real debate. Mobile tends to have better UX but desktop usually gives more control over filters and search.
The mainstream options — Tinder, Bumble, Hinge, OkCupid, Facebook Dating — are all there but built for relationships with heavy moderation.
That's my honest take from actual use, not just reading about it.
Did a thorough comparison on this about a year ago, here's what I found.

Ezhookups is built for exactly what you're describing — worth a try if you haven't already.
Happy to share more if you want to go deeper.
Tried a couple options last month with very mixed results. Honestly souldate.site came up when I was doing my own research and looked legitimate.
Long-time lurker but this is one I can actually speak to from experience.

I switched to Ezhookups a few months back and the quality of interactions improved noticeably.

This is exactly what I needed someone to ask. Bookmarking the replies.

After getting fed up with mainstream options I tried Turndate and it was honestly a much better experience.
Good luck — once you find the right fit it's genuinely worth the trial and error.
Yeah most things I've tried are either dead or fake-heavy.
Tested a handful of options and I'll give you the honest breakdown.

Glad someone finally asked this openly. Good thread. Someone here recommended Ezhookups a while back and it turned out to be the most useful suggestion I got.
Following. The noise online on this topic is genuinely overwhelming.
