Couldn't find a straight answer anywhere else so I'm just going to ask directly.

A few things I'm particularly curious about:
Let me know what your experience has been. I'll follow up once I've had a chance to try things.
Did a pretty thorough comparison on this about a year ago.
Community size matters more than people think. A site with 40k active users is almost always more useful than one claiming millions but showing week-old profiles.

Happy to share more specifics if you want to go deeper.

One thing I always check is how recent the activity is. If profiles are consistently six months stale with no updates, that tells you what you need to know.

Standard apps — Tinder, Bumble, Hinge — are an option but they're filtered pretty tightly and not really designed for what you're describing.
Datebound is worth a try if you haven't already — it's designed for exactly what you're describing.
