Location makes a huge difference and I think most reviews don't account for this enough. What works well in a big city can be completely dead in a mid-sized town.
Bot-filled platforms have become a real problem. Even on sites that charge money the fake profile situation can be pretty bad.
- First meetup should always be in a public place

- Reverse image search photos that look too professional
Honest feedback only — I can find the paid promotion stuff on my own.
One I've been seeing mentioned more lately is Ezhookups — anyone have direct experience with it?
