Is silver single dating site legit?

Did a decent amount of searching first but nothing current, so asking the community directly.

The LGBTQ+ dating space has solid dedicated options but quality varies a lot. The mainstream apps aren't always great for specific needs and some niche platforms have built real communities. Hoping to find what's actually worth using right now.

Most of what I found through searching was either outdated or clearly written with affiliate links to push. Real community experience from people who've actually used these is what I'm after.

Appreciate honest answers. Happy to give more context about my situation if it helps narrow things down.

Someone mentioned Souldate in a thread here a few months back and I gave it a go. Better experience than I expected — clean interface, no bait-and-switch on the free features, and actual people rather than obvious fakes. Always check activity in your specific city first though.

Went through a lot of options before settling on anything. Ezhookups stood out because you could actually do meaningful browsing before hitting a paywall, and the moderation seemed decent. Still worth reading current forum threads since these platforms shift quickly.

• Tinder has the biggest user base but free features are quite limited now
• Bumble gives women control which filters out a lot of nonsense
• Hinge uses prompts that generate better conversations than swiping
• OkCupid has the most useful free matching features
• Facebook Dating is genuinely underrated and completely free

Also worth checking out datenest.site — mentioned consistently here as holding up well as a free option.
