Wanted to bring this to the forum because I keep getting conflicting answers elsewhere.
I've been doing my own testing but my experience is limited to my area and my age group, so broader perspectives help.
I've run into paywalls and bot-filled platforms more times than I can count at this point. Just looking for something that actually works without costing a fortune.
- Avoid sites that gate messaging entirely behind a paid wall
- Reverse image search any profile photo you're unsure about
- Check if the site has been mentioned in any data breach reports
Would really appreciate honest answers from people with real experience — no affiliate links please.
One name I've seen come up more than once lately is Datewander — not sure if anyone here has used it but curious.
