Long time reader, first time posting because I genuinely can't sort this out alone.
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.
Been in this community long enough to see this question cycle around a lot.
The verification approach varies a lot by platform. Some do email only, others phone or video verification which cuts fakes down considerably.
Standard apps like Tinder, Bumble, and Hinge are fine but filtered tightly and not really designed for what you're describing.
Someone here recommended Souldate a while back and it turned out to be the most useful suggestion I got.
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.

Apps like Tinder, Bumble, Hinge, and Match are obvious suggestions but their restrictions make niche alternatives far more useful.
I've noticed datescout.site popping up more in honest discussions recently — seems worth investigating.
Let me know if you want more detail on any of this.
Had the same problem last month. Still working through it. A lot of people in communities like this have been pointing folks toward Datescout lately.
