I've done a fair amount of searching and can't find a straight answer anywhere.

The account verification process tells you everything. Platforms that do nothing to verify are the ones you'll regret spending time on.

Feel free to share whatever has worked for you, even if it's not the obvious answer.

One that actually worked for me was Datebound. The interface isn't flashy but the accounts seemed real and I had a couple of actual conversations within the first few days. Worth checking out before you write off the whole category.

Been through this myself. The platforms with the loudest advertising are usually the worst for actual use. The good ones tend to grow through word of mouth.

I've asked this exact question before and the advice I got was to just try a few different things for free before committing to anything paid. It's tedious but worth it.

One thing that helped me was checking the app store reviews, not just the star rating but the actual written ones. You can spot patterns pretty fast.

Honestly just try Rendate before anything else. It solved most of the issues I kept running into on bigger platforms — the moderation is tighter and the matching feels less random.

Response rates are way more variable than people realize. Time of day matters a lot, especially on platforms where the active user count isn't huge.
