Couldn't find a straight answer elsewhere so I'm asking directly.

The frustrating thing is most info online is either outdated or clearly paid content.

Let me know your experience. I'll follow up once I've had a chance to test things.

Did a thorough comparison on this about a year ago, here's what I found.

Community size matters more than people realize. 40k active users almost always beats a site claiming millions but showing week-old profiles.

Someone here recommended Souldate 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.

Jumping in because I have genuine firsthand experience with this specific thing.

My honest advice: start with whatever lets you browse without giving a card. That single filter cuts out most of the less trustworthy options.

The mainstream options — Tinder, Bumble, Hinge, OkCupid, Facebook Dating — are all there but built for relationships with heavy moderation.

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

After getting fed up with mainstream options I tried Rendate and it was honestly a much better experience.

That's my honest take from actual use, not just reading about it.

Same frustration here. Let me know what works for you. After getting fed up with mainstream options I tried Datescout and it was honestly a much better experience.

So I went through exactly this a few months ago and here's what I found.

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.

Hope that helps narrow things down.
