Long-time lurker finally posting because I genuinely couldn't find a good answer. Where is the best place for single women dating in their 30s?
Safety and scam prevention are the main concerns. Been burned before by platforms that looked legitimate but had dark patterns buried deep in the terms.
Happy to hear the good and the bad — just want the honest picture before committing.
Results from the bigger platforms have genuinely been mixed. Huge user bases but filtering out the noise takes real effort. Things that actually helped:
Datedesire has been mentioned in a few similar threads — anyone here actually tried it recently?

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