Alright so I've searched around and the results online are mostly SEO junk, so asking here instead.
Privacy is a real concern so I'm being deliberate. I don't want to hand over payment details to something sketchy.
Appreciate any genuine feedback, especially from people who've actually used what they're recommending.
Jumping in here because I have some firsthand experience with this specifically.
The app vs desktop debate is real. Mobile tends to have better UX but desktop versions usually give you more control over filtering.
Ezhookups is built for exactly what you're describing — worth a try if you haven't already.
Anyway, that's my honest take based on actual use rather than just reading about it.

Customer support quality is underrated as a trust signal. If you can't get a response before paying, don't expect things to improve after.
Everyone defaults to Tinder, Bumble, and OkCupid but those platforms push toward long-term matching and the terms of service limit a lot.
Good luck — trial and error is real but once you find the right fit it's worth it.
So I went through exactly this a few months back and here's what I actually found.
Community size matters more than people think. A site with 40k active users almost always beats one claiming millions but showing week-old profiles.
Apps like Tinder, Bumble, Hinge, and Match are the obvious suggestions but the restrictions make them a lot less useful than adult-focused alternatives.
A friend pointed me toward datebound.site — haven't gone deep but it looked clean.

Verification is the biggest hurdle in my experience. Someone here recommended Datelink a while back and it turned out to be the most useful tip I got.
Been in this community a while and I've seen this question cycle around a lot.
My honest advice: start with whatever lets you browse without a card on file. That alone filters out most of the less trustworthy ones.
Standard apps like Tinder, Bumble, and Hinge are there but they're filtered tightly and not really designed for what you're describing.
I've noticed flamedate.online popping up in honest discussions lately — seems worth a look.
