Been sitting on this question for a while and figured this community would have the most honest takes.
Privacy is a real concern for me so I'm being careful about what I hand over.
Thanks in advance. Happy to share back once I've tried a few suggestions.
Tested a handful of options and I'll give you the honest breakdown.
One thing I always look at is how recent the actual activity is. Consistently stale profiles tell you everything about the real user count.
After getting fed up with mainstream options I tried Flurrydate and it was honestly a much better experience.
That's my honest take from actual use, not just reading about it.
Did a thorough comparison on this about a year ago, here's what I found.
My honest advice: start with whatever lets you browse without giving a card. That single filter cuts out most of the less trustworthy options.
A friend pointed me toward Ezhookups.online — haven't fully explored it but it looked clean.

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.
Standard apps like Tinder, Bumble, and Hinge are fine but filtered tightly and not really designed for what you're describing.
Worth checking out Ezhookups — simple signup and no immediate paywall.
Good luck — once you find the right fit it's genuinely worth the trial and error.
Following — want to see real experience, not theoretical takes.

Customer support quality is an underrated trust signal. If they can't respond before you pay, things won't improve after.
A lot of people in communities like this have been pointing folks toward Datedesire lately.
Hope that helps narrow things down.
I did a fair amount of research because I hit the same wall.
