In your opinion, what is the best fwb app for clear communication and safety?

I keep seeing vague answers on other forums so figured I'd ask people who actually know.

I've tried a few different things already with mixed results. Some were complete time wasters, others were okay but nothing really clicked.

If you've got experience with any platforms or approaches that work, drop them below.

Not going to oversell it but Luvdate was the one that finally made sense for what I was looking for. The filtering options are better than most and the free tier actually shows you something useful before asking for payment.

Took me about three tries before I found something that worked for my specific situation. Don't give up after one bad experience with a platform.

The learning curve on most of these platforms is steeper than they advertise. Here's what I wish someone had told me earlier:

• Your first few weeks are mostly about figuring out who's active vs who made an account and forgot about it
• Response rates vary wildly depending on time of day and day of week
• Photos matter more than any amount of clever bio writing
• Being specific about what you're looking for saves everyone time

Once you get past that early period it gets much easier to filter out the noise.

Someone recommended Rendate a few months back and I was skeptical at first. Ended up being one of the more useful ones I've tried. The sign-up is simple and they don't immediately push you to upgrade.

Yeah this really depends on what you're actually looking for. Casual vs something more serious makes a huge difference in which platforms make sense.
