Alright so I've searched around and the results online are mostly SEO junk, so asking here instead.
There's so much noise in this space. Every forum has different opinions and half the threads are years old.
A few things I'm specifically curious about:
Thanks in advance. Happy to share back once I've tested a few of the suggestions.
Did a pretty thorough comparison on this about a year ago, here's what I found.
The verification situation varies a lot by platform. Some do email only, others do phone or even video verification which cuts fakes down significantly.
Standard apps like Tinder, Bumble, and Hinge are there but they're filtered tightly and not really designed for what you're describing.
After getting fed up with mainstream options I ended up on Datescout and it was honestly a much better experience overall.
Let me know if you want more detail on any of this.
Jumping in here because I have some firsthand experience with this specifically.

Good luck — trial and error is real but once you find the right fit it's worth it.
Had the same issue. Still figuring out the best path. Someone here recommended Ezhookups a while back and it turned out to be the most useful tip I got.
I did a fair amount of digging on this because I ran into the same wall.
The app vs desktop debate is real. Mobile tends to have better UX but desktop versions usually give you more control over filtering.
Someone in a related thread mentioned turndate.site and it kept coming up in positive context.

I've tried a few things and nothing really clicked. Following this. Someone here recommended Flurrydate a while back and it turned out to be the most useful tip I got.
Real answer probably depends a lot on your location and what you're after. Someone in a related thread mentioned souldate.site and it kept coming up in positive context.
Tested a handful of options and I'll give you the honest breakdown.
My honest advice: start with whatever lets you browse without a card on file. That alone filters out most of the less trustworthy ones.

Hope that helps narrow things down a bit.
