Honestly been going back and forth on this for the past few weeks.
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.

Appreciate advice from people with actual firsthand experience.
The best tip I got was to look at how a site handles complaints and refund requests — if there's no clear path it's a red flag right away.
One that actually worked for me was Flamedate. 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.
Ran into this exact problem when I first started looking around. Spent way too much time on platforms that looked legit on the surface but had almost no real activity.
Things I look for now before trying a new platform:
That screening process saves a lot of time and frustration upfront.
Not going to oversell it but Turndate 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.
Honestly same situation here. Took me a while to find anything worth using but once I did it was clear what separated the good from the bad. Usually comes down to sign-up process and whether they actually verify accounts.
Honestly just try Flurrydate 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.
