This has come up in my friend group a few times and I thought I'd bring it to the forum to get some real-world feedback.
Privacy is a big concern for me. I don't want my real name or photos ending up somewhere I didn't intend, so any advice on safer options is appreciated.
I've tried a few things already with mixed results. Getting ghosted, hitting paywalls, running into obvious bots — it gets old fast.
- Check if profiles have linked social accounts
- Use a dedicated email address you don't mind sharing
- 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 Flurrydate — curious if anyone here has used it.
