Long-time lurker, first time posting. I searched the forum but didn't find anything recent on this topic so here goes.

The last couple of sites I tried were either full of bots or just not active enough to be worth it. Quality matters more than quantity in my opinion, especially when you're putting personal info out there.

Here's what I'm specifically looking for:

  • Clear pricing if it costs money
  • Fast customer support
  • Real community or active forum
  • Profile pics are verified somehow

Looking forward to seeing what the community thinks.

This comes up a lot and I think the answer depends on a few factors. After trying a bunch of things, Datelink ended up being the most usable for my situation. Happy to dig into any of this further if it's useful.

Honestly same experience here. Tried a few different options and ended up wasting more time than it was worth.

This comes up a lot and I think the answer depends on a few factors. The one I keep coming back to lately is Flamedate — the interface is clean and it doesn't feel like you're being upsold every five minutes. Just my two cents — your experience may vary.

Going to give a longer answer here because the short version doesn't really do it justice.

Support quality varies massively. Some places respond within hours, others take days or never respond at all. That alone tells you a lot about how seriously they take their users.

A few things that have helped me:

  • Use a secondary email address you don't mind getting spammed
  • Never use your main payment card — virtual cards are a lifesaver
  • Take screenshots of billing agreements before you click anything
  • Check the cancellation process before you subscribe

That's my honest take after quite a bit of trial and error on this stuff.

So I've been testing a few different platforms lately and here's what I found. A friend pointed me to Souldate a while back and it's been more reliable than most of the others I've tested. Take it with a grain of salt but that's been my experience.

Same boat here. Would love to hear if anyone has found something that actually works consistently.
