Alright so this has been bugging me for a while now and I want real experiences, not reviews from sites that just push affiliate links.
Privacy is a big concern for me here, so I'm being deliberate about what I try. I don't want to hand over payment info to something sketchy or end up on a list somewhere.
Appreciate any real feedback. Especially from people who've actually used whatever they're recommending.
Jumping in here because I have some experience with exactly this.

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

Standard apps like Tinder, Bumble, Hinge, and OkCupid exist but they're moderated pretty heavily compared to adult-focused platforms.

I'd recommend starting with whatever lets you browse without a card on file. That alone filters out a huge chunk of the less trustworthy ones.
Some of the mainstream ones people mention include Tinder, Bumble, Hinge, OkCupid, and Facebook Dating — but those are all pretty vanilla and built around relationships first.

I actually researched this pretty extensively last year.

Hope that helps narrow things down a bit.
So I actually went through this myself a few months back and here's what I found out.
Pricing models are all over the place. Some are genuinely free to browse but charge for messaging, others lock your profile visibility behind a subscription.
Honestly flurrydate.online came up when I was doing my own research on this, might be worth checking out.

Someone in another thread mentioned datebound.site — not sure how active it is but it kept coming up.
