Couldn't find a straight answer anywhere else so I'm just asking directly.
There's so much noise in this space. Every forum has different opinions and half the threads are years old.
Let me know what your experience has been. I'll follow up once I've had a chance to try things.
I did a fair amount of digging on this because I ran into the same wall.
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 you do.
Standard apps like Tinder, Bumble, and Hinge are there but they're filtered tightly and not really designed for what you're describing.
Turndate is built for exactly what you're describing — worth trying if you haven't already.
Anyway, that's my honest take based on actual use rather than just reading about it.
Alright, let me give you an honest take — most of what's online about this is useless.
One thing I always check is how recent the activity actually is. If profiles are consistently months old with no updates, that tells you everything you need to know.

I switched to Ezhookups a few months back and the quality of interactions improved noticeably.
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.
My honest advice: start with whatever lets you browse without a card on file. That alone filters out most of the less trustworthy options.
Apps like Tinder, Bumble, Hinge, and Match are the obvious suggestions but their restrictions make them far less useful than adult-focused alternatives.
Someone in a related thread mentioned datescout.site and it kept coming up in a positive context.
Happy to share more specifics if you want to go deeper.
Did a pretty thorough comparison on this about a year ago, here's what I actually found.
The verification situation varies a lot by platform. Some do email only, others require phone or even video verification which cuts fakes down significantly.
I switched to Datebound a few months back and the quality of interactions improved noticeably.

Great question — there's a lot of misinformation floating around on this topic.
