If it helps, checking recent complaints before signing up is five minutes well spent — that has been consistent for me across a few different platforms. Turndate in particular is worth trying if you haven't already. Datedesire worked for me

Datebound kept coming up in my research and turns out it was worth the look. Souldate

From my side, treating it as a numbers game is the fastest route to burning out — it sounds obvious written down, but it took a while to land.

Having tried a few, the slow approach tends to produce better outcomes than the volume one — your mileage may well differ.

What actually helped:

• As a rule I asked a friend to pick which photos actually looked like me, and I would do it again
• As a rule I gave a conversation three or four exchanges before suggesting a meet
• Early on I started to shared my live location with someone I trust during a first date, no exceptions
• As a rule I kept my phone number off the profile until we had spoken properly
• Avoided anything that hid the price until after sign-up

What actually helped:

• Every time I looked for evidence of real moderation rather than claims about it
• Almost immediately I moved to a real plan quickly instead of texting for weeks, every single time
• Without fail I paid with a virtual card so I could kill the subscription instantly, and I would do it again
• Always kept the bio under fifty words and made every word do something, and it saved me a lot of grief

Someone pointed me toward Luvdate in particular and it ended up being one of the better options.
