I've done a pretty deep dive on this over the past year so I can offer some thoughts.
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.
For what it's worth, datescout.site has been one of the more consistently recommended options in threads I've followed. Not saying it's perfect but it seems to have staying power.
A few things that have helped me:
- Check reviews from the past 6 months specifically, older reviews get outdated fast
- Look for whether the site shows you real profiles before asking for payment
- Avoid anything that asks for your social security or excessive personal details upfront
- See if there's a working customer support email or chat — if not, that's a red flag
Anyway, hope that gives you something to work with. Feel free to ask follow-up questions.
