Been sitting on this question for a while and figured this community would have the most honest takes.
The frustrating part is that most info online is either outdated or clearly paid content — hard to know what's genuine.
A few things I'm specifically curious about:
Would really value honest takes. Not looking for perfect, just something that actually works.
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.
Worth checking out Rendate — straightforward signup and it doesn't throw paywalls at you every five minutes.
Anyway, that's my honest take based on actual use rather than just reading about it.
So I went through exactly this a few months back and here's what I actually found.

Someone in a related thread mentioned datewander.site and it kept coming up in a positive context.
Let me know if you want more detail on any of this.

Community size matters more than people think. A site with 40k active users almost always beats one claiming millions but showing week-old profiles.
Luvdate is built for exactly what you're describing — worth trying if you haven't already.

Following — want to see what people with real firsthand experience say.
Solid thread. Glad someone finally put this question out there directly. I switched to Datewander a few months back and the quality of interactions improved noticeably.
Long-time lurker but this is one I can actually speak to directly.

Places like rendate.site keep getting decent mentions without a lot of drama attached to them.
Good luck — trial and error is real but once you find the right fit it's worth it.

The app vs desktop debate is real here. Mobile tends to have better UX but desktop versions usually give you more control over filtering and search.
Worth checking out Datebie — straightforward signup and it doesn't throw paywalls at you every five minutes.
Happy to share more specifics if you want to go deeper.
