Asking here because you guys tend to give more honest answers than most places online. The paid sites at least weed out some of the tire kickers. Free sites tend to attract more bots.
Most of the old-school sites have really gone to pay-to-play models which is frustrating. Profile photos with good lighting and genuine smiles outperform everything else. That's just the reality.
Platforms that do phone verification are way cleaner than the ones that let anyone sign up with an email. Personally I'd point you toward Souldate for this.
Video call before you meet — it's the fastest way to confirm someone is who they say they are. I've seen good things said about datenest.site for this kind of thing.
Premium features on most sites are genuinely not worth it unless you're in a very active metro area. Personally I'd point you toward Datenest for this.
Honestly the best results I've had were on smaller niche platforms rather than the huge mainstream apps. I've seen good things said about luvdate.site for this kind of thing.
Reverse image search is your best friend for vetting profile photos quickly. Personally I'd point you toward Turndate for this.
Use a Google Voice number instead of your real number when you're still getting to know someone. I've seen good things said about souldate.site for this kind of thing.
Location matters a ton. Dense urban areas have way more options than suburbs or rural spots.
