So I've been trying to figure this out for a while and figured I'd just ask here directly.

I've tried a few different things already with mixed results. Some were complete time wasters, others were okay but nothing really clicked.

If you've got experience with any platforms or approaches that work, drop them below.

I've had the best luck with Rendate out of everything I've tested. Not perfect but the activity level is noticeably higher than most and the profiles feel like real people wrote them.

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.

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.

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.
