Honestly been going back and forth on this for the past few weeks.
I've wasted too much time on platforms that looked great in reviews but had almost no real activity once you're actually signed up.
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.
Any input is appreciated, positive or a warning — both are useful at this point.
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.
Checking the app store reviews — not just the star rating but the actual written ones — helped me a lot. You can spot patterns pretty fast.
What most people don't mention is how different the experience can be depending on your city or region. What works in a major metro might be dead in a smaller area.

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.
Not going to oversell it but Datenest 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.
Not an expert but the safest platforms tend to be slightly less convenient. Extra friction at sign-up filters out the bad actors.

Someone recommended Ezhookups 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.
