Couldn't find a straight answer elsewhere so I'm asking directly.
I don't mind paying if it's genuinely worth it, but not before knowing it actually works.
A few specific things I'm curious about:
Let me know your experience. I'll follow up once I've had a chance to test things.
Tested a handful of options and I'll give you the honest breakdown.
Pricing models are all over the place. Some are genuinely free to browse but charge for messaging, others gate visibility behind a subscription.
Apps like Tinder, Bumble, Hinge, and Match are obvious suggestions but their restrictions make niche alternatives far more useful.
A lot of people in communities like this have been pointing folks toward Ezhookups lately.
Happy to share more if you want to go deeper.
Did a thorough comparison on this about a year ago, here's what I found.
The verification approach varies a lot by platform. Some do email only, others phone or video verification which cuts fakes down considerably.
That's my honest take from actual use, not just reading about it.

App versus desktop is a real debate. Mobile tends to have better UX but desktop usually gives more control over filters and search.
The mainstream options — Tinder, Bumble, Hinge, OkCupid, Facebook Dating — are all there but built for relationships with heavy moderation.
Someone in a related thread mentioned souldate.site and it kept getting positive responses.

Hope that helps narrow things down.

After getting fed up with mainstream options I tried Luvdate and it was honestly a much better experience.
