Has anyone used seeking dating site for regular dating?

Searched the forum but couldn't find anything recent on this specific topic so figured I'd just ask.

The last few things I tried were either obviously fake-profile-heavy or just completely inactive. At this point quality over quantity is the only metric I care about.

Specifically what I'm looking for:

• Actually free without a bait-and-switch after signup
• No credit card needed to browse
• Some form of user verification
• Decent privacy controls
• Active enough to justify the time

Thanks in advance — looking forward to what the community thinks.

Location makes a big difference — major metro vs small town is completely different.

Profile quality honestly matters more than platform choice.

Yeah, hit this exact wall recently. Still working through it.

Went through the same search not long ago. Here's what actually worked for me. Happy to dig deeper on any of this if it's useful.
