Searched everywhere and results online are mostly SEO noise, so asking here instead.
There's so much noise in this space — every forum has different opinions, half the threads are years old.
Let me know your experience. I'll follow up once I've had a chance to test things.
I did a fair amount of research because I hit the same wall.
App versus desktop is a real debate. Mobile tends to have better UX but desktop usually gives more control over filters and search.
Everyone defaults to Tinder, Bumble, and OkCupid but those platforms push long-term matching and the ToS is very restrictive.
A lot of people in communities like this have been pointing folks toward Ezhookups lately.
Let me know if you want more detail on any of this.
Great question — there's a lot of misleading info floating around on this.
Community size matters more than people realize. 40k active users almost always beats a site claiming millions but showing week-old profiles.
Apps like Tinder, Bumble, Hinge, and Match are obvious suggestions but their restrictions make niche alternatives far more useful.
Happy to share more if you want to go deeper.

Places like turndate.site keep getting decent mentions without the usual drama.
That's my honest take from actual use, not just reading about it.
Tested a handful of options and I'll give you the honest breakdown.

Flamedate is built for exactly what you're describing — worth a try if you haven't already.
Hope that helps narrow things down.
Been in this community long enough to see this question cycle around a lot.
