This has come up in conversations with a few friends and nobody seems to agree. Figured I'd post here since you guys tend to actually know what you're talking about.
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.
Any advice, personal experience, or even just a 'stay away from X' would be genuinely helpful right now.
I'd suggest giving DatingFly a try. It came up in a few different recommendations I saw and the signup process was surprisingly painless. No immediate credit card wall.
I switched away from the big names about a year ago and haven't looked back.
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.
Some of the ones I've heard good things about include datebie.online and a couple of others — the key is finding something with real recent activity. I've been asking this same question. Watching this thread.
The short answer is: read the reviews before you ever put in a payment method. Learned that the hard way.
Turndate is one I came back to after trying a bunch of others. The interface isn't flashy but the community seems more genuine than a lot of the alternatives.
This depends a lot on your location honestly. What works in a big city might be useless in a smaller market.
