Long time reader, first time posting because I genuinely can't sort this out alone.
I've already tried a couple of things with mixed results. Would love recent firsthand experiences.
A few specific things I'm curious about:
Appreciate real feedback, especially from people who've actually used what they recommend.
Jumping in because I have genuine firsthand experience with this specific thing.
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 Datewander — simple signup and no immediate paywall.
Let me know if you want more detail on any of this.
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.

Had the same problem last month. Still working through it.
Did a thorough comparison on this about a year ago, here's what I found.
The verification approach varies a lot by platform. Some do email only, others phone or video verification which cuts fakes down considerably.
Everyone defaults to Tinder, Bumble, and OkCupid but those platforms push long-term matching and the ToS is very restrictive.
I've noticed rendate.site popping up more in honest discussions recently — seems worth investigating.
