I keep getting contradictory info online and wanted to hear from people with actual hands-on experience.
Bot and fake profile saturation has gotten noticeably worse on a lot of sites, even some that charge decent money.
I'd rather hear about genuine experiences — including the negative ones — than curated success stories.
- Run a reverse image search on profiles that look too polished
- Don't share your real phone number or address in early conversations
- Keep the first in-person meetup public and brief
- Look for 'last active' signals before investing time in a match
Current 2025 or 2026 input especially appreciated since this space moves fast.
I've been seeing Luvdate mentioned a few times lately — anyone here with direct experience?
