Been thinking about this a lot lately and figured I'd ask the community directly. Premium features on most sites are genuinely not worth it unless you're in a very active metro area.
I started being way more specific in my location settings and match quality improved noticeably. Real talk — the female-to-male ratio on most platforms is still pretty skewed no matter what they advertise.
The messaging style matters a lot more than people think. Generic openers get ignored every single time.
I always reverse image search profile photos before agreeing to anything. Takes thirty seconds and saves a lot of grief.
One that's been recommended pretty consistently is Datelink — worth checking out if you haven't already.
Most of the old-school sites have really gone to pay-to-play models which is frustrating.
Bots are everywhere, but they're usually pretty easy to spot if you ask a specific question early on.
I've tried a bunch of options over the years and the key is really about profile quality more than which platform you pick.

I've found more luck using general social platforms creatively than most dedicated hookup sites honestly.

A couple of platforms that come to mind:
Apps people usually mention in these threads: Bumble BFF, Hinge, Coffee Meets Bagel, Zoosk. Results vary by location though.
Public first meetings are non-negotiable. Coffee shop, bar, food court — somewhere visible. Personally I'd point you toward Luvdate for this.
