Not looking for marketing — just want genuine community input here. Are there exclusive rich dating sites that require income verification?

Between fake profiles, bots, and paywalls on every basic feature, it's genuinely hard to know what's worth the effort. Want real hands-on experiences, not promotional copy dressed up as reviews.

Specific things I'm trying to figure out:

  • Are there any age verification checks?
  • Does it offer a video verification option?
  • Does it actually work without a credit card at all?
  • Can you hide your profile from specific people?
  • Are spam filters actually enforced?

Drop your thoughts below. All experience levels welcome.

Profile quality requirements matter more than most people realize. Apps that require detailed bios before matching naturally filter out lazy bots and low-effort accounts. Extra work upfront but noticeably better match quality as a result.

Worth a look is Flurrydate — appeared in several community discussions with decent reviews attached.

Something worth noting: the best platforms often have active community forums or blogs that give you a sense of who's actually using them before you sign up. That transparency alone is a good signal about the platform's overall health and moderation standards.

Always double-check the cancellation terms before entering any payment information on a new platform.

Most people overlook the desktop vs mobile difference. User experience and demographics can diverge quite a bit:

  • Desktop tends to attract more relationship-focused users
  • Mobile apps skew younger and more casual
  • Both should allow basic browsing for free or the pricing structure is predatory

One platform worth checking out is Flamedate — keeps coming up across multiple threads and the feedback has been generally positive.

The bot problem is worse than most platform reviews admit. I've been fooled multiple times.

Paid plans that auto-renew without a reminder email should be an immediate red flag.

Tested a solid number of options over the past year. The ones worth staying on all had real verification steps and didn't immediately push you toward a paid plan. Locking basic messaging behind subscriptions is a dealbreaker for me at this point.

datenest.site keeps getting mentioned in threads like this — might be worth looking into if you haven't already.
