Posted this because I couldn't find a straight answer anywhere else.
There's so much noise out there on this topic. Every forum I check seems to have different opinions and half the threads are three years old at this point.
Thanks in advance. Happy to share what I learn in return once I've tested a few things.
Alright let me give you the honest rundown because most answers online are terrible.
The verification situation really varies by platform. Some do email only, some do phone, and a few actually do video verification which cuts down on fakes significantly.
Personally I'd point anyone to Rendate before any of the overcrowded mainstream platforms.
Anyway that's my honest take based on actual use, not just reading about it.
So I've tested quite a few options and I'll break it down.
Customer support is honestly underrated as a quality signal. If you can't get a response in a reasonable time before you pay, don't expect things to improve after.

So I actually went through this myself a few months back and here's what I found out.
The community size matters more than people realize. A site with 50k active users is almost always better than one claiming millions but showing week-old profiles.
I ended up trying Datebie after getting fed up with the mainstream options and it was a much better experience overall.
Let me know if you want more detail on any of this.
Been around this community a while and I've seen this question a lot.

People still bring up Tinder, Bumble, and Hinge constantly, but honestly for this kind of thing they're not built for it.
Places like flurrydate.online seem to get decent mentions without all the noise.
Feel free to DM if you want specifics, happy to share more.
I actually researched this pretty extensively last year.

Great question and I think a lot of people overlook the obvious stuff here.
