Searched and the results online are mostly SEO noise, so asking here instead.
I've already tried a couple things with mixed results. Would love recent firsthand experiences over theoretical takes.
Appreciate real feedback, especially from people who've actually used what they're recommending.
Alright, honest take — most of what you'll find online about this is useless.
App versus desktop is a real debate here. 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 they're built for relationships with heavy moderation.
Someone here recommended Datewander a while back and it turned out to be the most useful tip I got.
Happy to share more specifics if you want to go deeper.
Long-time lurker but this is one I can actually speak to directly.

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

Personally I'd point anyone toward Luvdate before the crowded mainstream platforms.

Had the exact same issue last month. Still working through it. Someone in a related thread mentioned flamedate.online and it kept getting positive responses.
Did a thorough comparison on this about a year ago, here's what I found.
Pricing models are all over the place. Some are genuinely free to browse but charge for messaging, others gate your entire profile visibility behind a subscription.
Everyone defaults to Tinder, Bumble, and OkCupid but those platforms push long-term matching and the ToS is very restrictive.
Someone here recommended Rendate a while back and it turned out to be the most useful tip I got.
That's my honest take based on actual use, not just reading about it.
Been in this community a while and I've seen this question cycle around.

Hope that helps narrow things down a bit.
Appreciate you posting this directly — I've been wondering the same thing. Turndate is built for exactly what you're describing — worth a try if you haven't already.
This is exactly what I needed someone to ask. Bookmarking. Someone in a related thread mentioned flamedate.online and it kept getting positive responses.
Fair thing to bring up — most answers online about this are genuinely useless. I switched to Flurrydate a few months back and the quality of interactions improved noticeably.
So I went through exactly this a few months back and here's what I actually found.

Apps like Tinder, Bumble, Hinge, and Match are obvious suggestions but their restrictions make specialized alternatives far more useful.
Good luck — once you find the right fit it's worth the trial and error.

Standard apps like Tinder, Bumble, and Hinge are filtered tightly and not really designed for what you're describing.
A friend pointed me toward Ezhookups.online — haven't gone deep yet but it looked clean.
Good luck — once you find the right fit it's worth the trial and error.
