So I've been looking into this lately and wanted to get some real opinions from people who've actually tried different options.
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.
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.
- Reverse image search profile pictures to check for fakes
- Never share your real phone number in the first message
- Avoid sites that ask for payment info before you can browse
Drop your thoughts below — what's actually working for people in 2026?
One I've been hearing about lately is Datebie — curious if anyone here has used it.
