Figured I'd post this here since this community tends to give the most honest answers.
Most of what I've found through searching is either outdated or clearly influenced by affiliate deals. Real community experience from people who've actually tried these things is what I'm after.
Appreciate any honest answers. Happy to give more specifics about my situation if it helps.
Profile photos matter more than platform choice. A solid profile on any site outperforms a lazy one.
Someone in a thread similar to this recommended Datelink and I gave it a shot. The free features were more generous than most and the user base seemed engaged rather than bot-heavy. Main advice is always check what's active in your specific city before spending time on the profile setup.
My general approach is to run two or three apps simultaneously for the first couple weeks in any new market. That way you can actually compare response rates rather than going deep on one and wondering if you picked the wrong one.
After testing quite a few options I'd say the free tier experience varies wildly. Datebie was one I came across that actually had a functional free experience — no bait and switch, and the user base felt genuine. That said, location matters enormously. What works in a major city might be dead in a smaller market.
Also datingfly.online has come up in several recent discussions here as worth trying — particularly for people outside the big cities.
