Safety practices I always follow:

• Video calling before a meet is the fastest way to confirm someone is genuinely who they claim.
• A VPN helps with general browsing privacy but isn't a complete anonymity solution.
• Separate email addresses for dating activity is just good basic digital hygiene.

Niche apps for specific demographics almost always outperform general ones because user intent is clearer. I'd suggest checking out Datewander for this — it comes up consistently in recommendations.

Never share your real last name, address, or workplace before meeting someone in person.

Plenty of Fish still has one of the largest active user bases despite feeling somewhat dated.
