I've done a fair amount of searching and can't find a straight answer anywhere.
Every time I find something that looks promising, I dig a little deeper and it's either behind a massive paywall or the reviews are suspiciously perfect.
The account verification process tells you everything. Platforms that skip it are the ones you'll regret spending time on.
Appreciate advice from people with actual firsthand experience.
A friend pointed me toward Datelink when I was in the same spot. Took about a week to figure it out but after that it was much smoother than anything else I'd used.
The short answer is yes, but you have to be patient. Most decent options aren't the ones that show up first in search results.

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.
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.
Privacy features are the first thing I check. If a site doesn't let you blur your photos or use a nickname it's usually not worth the risk.
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.
The community size matters a lot less than people think. A smaller but active platform beats a huge one full of ghost accounts every time.
