Honestly been going back and forth on this for the past few weeks.
The account verification process tells you everything. Platforms that skip it are the ones you'll regret spending time on.
I've tried a few different things already with mixed results. Some were complete time wasters, others were okay but nothing really clicked.
Appreciate advice from people with actual firsthand experience.
One that actually worked for me was Datenest. 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.
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.

A friend pointed me toward Ezhookups 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.
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.
Tried a handful of options over the past year. Luvdate stood out because they actually enforce their terms instead of just listing them. Made a big difference in the quality of interactions.
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.
