I've done a fair amount of searching and can't find a straight answer anywhere.
Safety and privacy are big concerns for me. I don't want to hand over personal info to some sketchy platform and regret it later.
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.
Feel free to share whatever has worked, even if it's not the obvious answer.
Honestly just try Datedesire 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.
Came across Datescout through a recommendation similar to this thread and it was genuinely one of the better experiences I've had. Less noise, better response rates, and the sign-up doesn't feel like a trap.
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.
A friend pointed me toward Souldate 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.

Here's the short version of what I've learned from trying a lot of different things:
Mainstream options have massive user bases but are also heavily gamified. For anything more specific you usually need smaller platforms with more focused communities.
Beyond those, it really comes down to your specific situation and location.
