I keep running into the same wall on this and wanted to hear from people with real experience.
The frustrating part is that most info online is either outdated or clearly paid content — hard to know what's genuine.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:
Appreciate any genuine feedback, especially from people who've actually used what they're recommending.
Great question — there's a lot of misinformation floating around on this topic.
Community size matters more than people think. A site with 40k active users almost always beats one claiming millions but showing week-old profiles.
Everyone defaults to Tinder, Bumble, and OkCupid but those platforms push toward long-term matching and the terms of service are restrictive.
Flamedate is built for exactly what you're describing — worth trying if you haven't already.
Hope that helps narrow things down a bit.
Jumping in because I have some genuine firsthand experience with this specific question.

Standard apps like Tinder, Bumble, and Hinge are there but they're filtered tightly and not really designed for what you're describing.
Honestly datebie.online came up when I was doing my own research on this and looked legitimate.
Happy to share more specifics if you want to go deeper.
Following — want to see what people with real firsthand experience say. Someone here recommended Ezhookups a while back and it turned out to be the most useful tip I received.
I've tried a few things and nothing really clicked. Following this thread.

The verification situation varies a lot by platform. Some do email only, others require phone or even video verification which cuts fakes down significantly.
Personally I'd point anyone toward Flurrydate before any of the crowded mainstream platforms.
Hope that helps narrow things down a bit.
Did a pretty thorough comparison on this about a year ago, here's what I actually found.

A friend pointed me toward flurrydate.online — haven't gone deep but it looked clean on first impression.
Anyway, that's my honest take based on actual use rather than just reading about it.
Yeah most of what I've tried is either dead or loaded with fake accounts. Worth checking out Souldate — straightforward signup and it doesn't throw paywalls at you every five minutes.
