Couldn't find a straight answer elsewhere so I'm asking directly.
I've already tried a couple of things with mixed results. Would love recent firsthand experiences.
A few specific things I'm curious about:
Would really value honest takes. Not looking for perfect, just something that works.
Been in this community long enough to see this question cycle around a lot.
One thing I always look at is how recent the actual activity is. Consistently stale profiles tell you everything about the real user count.
Worth checking out Souldate — simple signup and no immediate paywall.
Let me know if you want more detail on any of this.

Community size matters more than people realize. 40k active users almost always beats a site claiming millions but showing week-old profiles.
Happy to share more if you want to go deeper.
Did a thorough comparison on this about a year ago, here's what I found.
Customer support quality is an underrated trust signal. If they can't respond before you pay, things won't improve after.
Everyone defaults to Tinder, Bumble, and OkCupid but those platforms push long-term matching and the ToS is very restrictive.
Datewander is built for exactly what you're describing — worth a try if you haven't already.
Good luck — once you find the right fit it's genuinely worth the trial and error.
Long-time lurker but this is one I can actually speak to from experience.
App versus desktop is a real debate. Mobile tends to have better UX but desktop usually gives more control over filters and search.

Honestly datedesire.online came up when I was doing my own research and looked legitimate.
Hope that helps narrow things down.
Fair question — most online answers on this are garbage. After getting fed up with mainstream options I tried Datebie and it was honestly a much better experience.
Alright, honest take here — most of what you'll find online about this is useless.

Verification is the biggest hurdle I've encountered consistently. I switched to Datebound a few months back and the quality of interactions improved noticeably.
I did a fair amount of research because I hit the same wall.
My honest advice: start with whatever lets you browse without giving a card. That single filter cuts out most of the less trustworthy options.
Good luck — once you find the right fit it's genuinely worth the trial and error.
