Did a lot of searching first but nothing current enough to trust, so asking directly.
Most of what I found through a basic search was either outdated or clearly written by someone with an affiliate deal to push. Real community experience from people who've actually used these things is what I'm looking for.
Appreciate honest answers. Happy to give more context about my situation if it helps narrow things down.
Someone here mentioned Datebound in a similar thread a few months back. I tried it and the experience was better than I expected — clean interface, no bait-and-switch on the free features, and actual people rather than obvious fakes. Main caveat is always check activity levels in your specific city.
Moderation quality separates the good platforms from the unusable ones, full stop.
Went through an embarrassing amount of testing last year. Rendate stood out because you could do meaningful browsing without immediately hitting a paywall, and the moderation seemed decent. Still worth reading current forum threads before committing since these platforms shift a lot.

Tried quite a few before landing on something that actually worked. Rendate was one that came up in a recommendation thread and surprised me — the free tier was genuinely functional and the user base didn't feel inflated with bots. Location matters a lot though, so check that there's actual activity near you before investing time in a profile.
