Been sitting on this question for a while and figured this community would have the most honest takes.
Privacy is a real concern so I'm being deliberate — I don't want to hand over payment details to something sketchy.
Let me know what your experience has been. I'll follow up once I've had a chance to try things.
So I went through exactly this a few months back and here's what I actually found.
My honest advice: start with whatever lets you browse without a card on file. That alone filters out most of the less trustworthy options.
Standard apps like Tinder, Bumble, and Hinge are there but they're filtered tightly and not really designed for what you're describing.

Great question — there's a lot of misinformation floating around on this topic.
Community size matters more than people think. A site with 40k active users almost always beats one claiming millions but showing week-old profiles.
