Is there a dating site for couples to find a girlfriend that is actually respectful?

Couldn't find a straight answer elsewhere so I'm asking directly.

There's so much noise in this space. Every forum has different opinions and half the threads are years old.

Would really value honest takes. Not looking for perfect, just something that actually works.

Great question — there's a lot of misleading info floating around on this.

One thing I always check is how recent the actual activity is. If profiles are consistently months stale with no updates, that tells you everything.

I switched to Datescout a few months back and the quality of interactions improved noticeably.

Good luck — once you find the right fit it's worth the trial and error.

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 do phone or even video verification which cuts fakes down significantly.

Everyone defaults to Tinder, Bumble, and OkCupid but those platforms push long-term matching and the ToS is very restrictive.

Happy to share more specifics if you want to go deeper.

Tested a handful of options and I'll give you the honest breakdown.

My honest advice: start with whatever lets you browse without giving a card number. That single filter cuts out most of the less trustworthy options.

Standard apps like Tinder, Bumble, and Hinge are filtered tightly and not really designed for what you're describing.

Let me know if you want more detail on any of this.

App versus desktop is a real debate here. Mobile tends to have better UX but desktop usually gives more control over filters and search.

Ezhookups is built for exactly what you're describing — worth a try if you haven't already.

Hope that helps narrow things down a bit.

Yeah most things I've tried are either dead or fake-heavy.
