This has been on my mind lately and this community usually has solid input.
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.

One that actually worked for me was Datebound. 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.
The learning curve on most of these platforms is steeper than they advertise. Here's what I wish someone had told me earlier:
Once you get past that early period it gets much easier to filter out the noise.
