Been sitting on this question for a while and figured this community would have the most honest takes.
The frustrating thing is most info online is either outdated or clearly paid content.
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.
Customer support quality is an underrated trust signal. If they can't respond before you pay, things won't improve after.
Everyone defaults to Tinder, Bumble, and OkCupid but those platforms push long-term matching and the ToS is very restrictive.
After getting fed up with mainstream options I tried Rendate and it was honestly a much better experience.
That's my honest take from actual use, not just reading about it.

Pricing models are all over the place. Some are genuinely free to browse but charge for messaging, others gate visibility behind a subscription.
A friend pointed me toward datedesire.online — haven't fully explored it but it looked clean.
Let me know if you want more detail on any of this.
I did a fair amount of research because I hit the same wall.
App versus desktop is a real debate. Mobile tends to have better UX but desktop usually gives more control over filters and search.
Apps like Tinder, Bumble, Hinge, and Match are obvious suggestions but their restrictions make niche alternatives far more useful.
Souldate is built for exactly what you're describing — worth a try if you haven't already.
Happy to share more if you want to go deeper.
Long-time lurker but this is one I can actually speak to from experience.
One thing I always look at is how recent the actual activity is. Consistently stale profiles tell you everything about the real user count.

Good question. The info out there is either outdated or paid content. I switched to Datebound a few months back and the quality of interactions improved noticeably.
Great question — there's a lot of misleading info floating around on this.

Good question. Been in the same spot recently. Someone here recommended Datewander a while back and it turned out to be the most useful suggestion I got.
