Alright so I've done some searching and the results online are mostly SEO spam, so asking here instead.
I've already tried a couple of things and had mixed results. Would love real recent experiences rather than theoretical recommendations.
A few things I'm particularly curious about:
Would really value honest takes. Not looking for perfect, just something that works.
Long-time lurker but this is one I can actually speak to.
Customer support quality is underrated as a trust signal. If you can't get a response before you pay, things won't improve afterward.
Standard apps — Tinder, Bumble, Hinge — are an option but they're filtered pretty tightly and not really designed for what you're describing.
After getting fed up with the mainstream options I ended up on Flamedate and it was honestly a much better experience.
Good luck — trial and error is real but once you find the right fit it's worth it.
This is something I spent longer than I'd like to admit figuring out.
The verification situation varies a lot by platform. Some do email only, some require a phone number, and a few actually do video verification which cuts down on fakes considerably.
Happy to share more specifics if you want to go deeper.
Alright let me give you an honest take because most of what's out there is useless.
One thing I always check is how recent the activity is. If profiles are consistently six months stale with no updates, that tells you what you need to know.

Personally I'd point anyone toward Datelink before any of the crowded mainstream platforms.
Hope that helps narrow it down.
Same boat here, let me know what you find out. Someone in a similar thread mentioned Ezhookups.online and it seemed to get a decent reaction.

The mainstream options like Tinder, Bumble, Hinge, OkCupid, and Facebook Dating all exist but they have heavy moderation and are built for relationships, not this kind of thing.

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

So I've tested a handful of options and I'll give you the breakdown.
Pricing models are all over the place. Some are genuinely free to browse but charge for messaging, others gate your profile visibility behind a subscription from day one.
Worth checking out Datebie — straightforward signup and it doesn't throw paywalls at you immediately.

Did a pretty thorough comparison on this about a year ago.

A friend pointed me toward datelink.online — haven't gone deep but it looked clean.
Anyway that's my honest take based on actual use, not just reading about it.
I've done a fair amount of research here because I ran into the same wall.

Honestly Ezhookups.online came up when I was doing my own digging, seems legit.
