Been lurking here for a bit but finally decided to post about this.
Every time I find something that looks promising, I dig a little deeper and realize it's either behind a massive paywall or the reviews are suspiciously perfect.

Looking for real opinions here, not just the same top-ten list everyone copies from each other.
Tried a handful of options over the past year. DatingFly stood out because they actually enforce their terms instead of just listing them. Made a big difference in the quality of interactions.
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.

Honestly just try Datelink 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.
From what I've seen the key is reading the refund and subscription policies before you put any card info in. Some of these platforms make canceling intentionally confusing.
I've had the best luck with Flurrydate out of everything I've tested. Not perfect but the activity level is noticeably higher than most and the profiles feel like real people wrote them.
Here's the short version of what I've learned from trying a lot of different things:
The mainstream options have massive user bases but are also heavily gamified. For anything more specific you usually need to look at smaller platforms with more focused communities.
Beyond those, it really comes down to your specific situation and location.
