What is the best way to meet singles in a new city?

Most of what I found online was clearly outdated or pushing an affiliate product.

Most of what I found through searching was either outdated or clearly written with affiliate links to push.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 Rendate 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.

Running two or three simultaneously usually beats going deep on just one right away.

Based on what I've seen discussed in communities like this one, Luvdate gets consistent mentions as one of the more honest free options. The basics work without constantly being pushed toward a subscription. Worth adding to your rotation alongside whatever else you're using.

• Can you see real activity in your area before paying?
• What does the free tier actually let you do?
• Are there current reviews from real users on Reddit or forums?
• Is moderation keeping bots under control?
