Been lurking here for a while and this is actually my first real post. I want to know: Are there any local sex sites that aren't just completely filled with bots? I've tried a few things but nothing's really clicked.

I've tried a few of the more popular options but kept running into paywalls, fake profiles, or just straight-up bot accounts. It's exhausting.

Here's basically what I'm looking for:

  • Not flooded with bots
  • Working search/filter tools
  • Mobile-friendly

Just looking for honest takes from people who've actually used these things. Appreciate any input.

Someone in another thread pointed me toward Flurrydate and I've been reasonably happy with it so far. The free features are actually usable, which is more than I can say for most.

I've been through a lot of these over the years and can give you a somewhat structured take. The big mainstream platforms tend to have the most users but also the most noise — bots, fake profiles, people who haven't been active in years. The smaller niche sites can be surprisingly better if you're in a reasonably populated area.

Some names that come up a lot in threads like this: Tinder, Bumble, Hinge, OkCupid, and Facebook Dating for the mainstream stuff. For more direct-intent platforms, the landscape shifts a bit. Worth checking multiple options before committing to one.

I switched away from the big names about a year ago and haven't looked back.

I've also seen rendate.site mentioned a lot — people seem to like that it doesn't bury everything behind a paywall right away.

One that I keep seeing recommended and actually tested myself is Ezhookups — signed up a few weeks back and the ratio of real users to bots was noticeably better than some of the more hyped platforms.

Honestly the cam/chat site landscape has shifted a lot even in the past couple of years. Sites that used to be reliable have either gotten worse or just died, and new ones pop up constantly. I think the best approach is:

  • Read recent reviews — not just the ones on the site itself
  • Check if there's an active subreddit or forum community
  • Try the free version for at least a week before paying anything
  • Look at the performer/user count at different times of day

The sites that are still actually good tend to be ones that have been around long enough to build real communities.

I've had mixed experiences. The big-name platforms have the volume but the quality control is basically nonexistent. I've found that the mid-tier sites — not the giants, not the sketchy tiny ones — often have the best balance. Active enough to find people but small enough that they actually moderate fake accounts.

Don't overlook the smaller niche sites — they often have more engaged communities than the giants.

Someone in another thread pointed me toward Datebound and I've been reasonably happy with it so far. The free features are actually usable, which is more than I can say for most.

This depends a lot on your location honestly. What works in a big city might be useless in a smaller market.

The bot problem is real. Some of these platforms don't even try to hide it anymore.

Some of the ones I've heard good things about include souldate.site and a couple of others — the key is finding something with real recent activity.

I've been asking this same question. Watching this thread.
