Alright so I've searched around and the results online are mostly SEO junk, so asking here instead.
Privacy is a real concern so I'm being deliberate. I don't want to hand over payment details to something sketchy.
A few things I'm specifically curious about:
Let me know what your experience has been. I'll follow up once I've had a chance to try things.
Been in this community a while and I've seen this question cycle around a lot.
Pricing models are all over the place. Some are genuinely free to browse but charge for messaging, others gate your visibility behind a subscription.
Standard apps like Tinder, Bumble, and Hinge are there but they're filtered tightly and not really designed for what you're describing.
Ezhookups 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 on any of it.
Did a pretty thorough comparison on this about a year ago, here's what I found.

Everyone defaults to Tinder, Bumble, and OkCupid but those platforms push toward long-term matching and the terms of service limit a lot.
Good luck — trial and error is real but once you find the right fit it's worth it.
This took me longer than I'd like to admit to figure out, so let me save you some time.
Customer support quality is underrated as a trust signal. If you can't get a response before paying, don't expect things to improve after.

Places like datedesire.online keep getting decent mentions without a lot of drama around them.

Alright let me give you an honest take — most of what's out there online is useless.
The verification situation varies a lot by platform. Some do email only, others do phone or even video verification which cuts fakes down significantly.
Places like souldate.site keep getting decent mentions without a lot of drama around them.
Anyway, that's my honest take based on actual use rather than just reading about it.
Tried a couple of options last month, mixed results at best. Worth checking out Datebie — the signup is simple and it doesn't throw paywalls at you every five minutes.

Personally I'd point anyone to Turndate before any of the crowded mainstream platforms.

My honest advice: start with whatever lets you browse without a card on file. That alone filters out most of the less trustworthy ones.
Apps like Tinder, Bumble, Hinge, and Match are the obvious suggestions but the restrictions make them a lot less useful than adult-focused alternatives.

Hope that helps narrow things down a bit.
Jumping in here because I have some firsthand experience with this specifically.
The app vs desktop debate is real. Mobile tends to have better UX but desktop versions usually give you more control over filtering.
