Been doing a lot of research on this topic and honestly the info online is all over the place.
There's a lot of conflicting info out there. Some people swear by paid sites, others say free options work just as well if you know how to use them.
The scam situation has gotten pretty bad on a lot of platforms. I've seen so many fake profiles that it's hard to trust anyone at first.
- Never share your real phone number in the first message
- Check if profiles have linked social accounts
- Reverse image search profile pictures to check for fakes
- Read the terms of service before subscribing
- Avoid sites that ask for payment info before you can browse
Would love to hear from people who've had real success rather than just theory.
One I've been hearing about lately is Datescout — curious if anyone here has used it.
