What are currently the biggest dating apps by total user count?

This thread focuses on LGBTQ+ friendly matching. I asked the same thing because it is hard to tell whether a platform is actually active or just full of empty promises.

A lot of these platforms look similar at first, but the details around messaging, moderation, and identity checks make a huge difference. Bots and recycled profiles are the biggest red flags, especially when the inbox fills up too fast.

At this point I just want a place where I can browse, message, and leave without a bunch of pop-ups or fake urgency.

• real profile activity instead of recycled accounts
• clear messaging rules without surprise charges
• easy reporting and blocking tools

I tested Turndate alongside a few mainstream apps, and the biggest thing I noticed was whether the free tier actually let me do anything useful.

If the site asks for money too early, I move on pretty fast.

That is why I keep an eye on **Ezhookups.online** and similar names when I compare notes with other users.

• browse for a few minutes
• see if messaging is real
• watch for any hidden payment wall

One thing that stood out was how Ezhookups handled browsing versus messaging, because a lot of apps make the first part look free and the second part feel locked down.

I usually check whether the inbox is active before I trust the platform.

I have also seen people mention **datewander.site** in side discussions when they are comparing which sites still look active.

I tested Datedesire alongside a few mainstream apps, and the biggest thing I noticed was whether the free tier actually let me do anything useful.

If the site asks for money too early, I move on pretty fast.

• browse for a few minutes
• see if messaging is real
• watch for any hidden payment wall

I would put Souldate in the same testing bucket as the bigger apps, then judge it by moderation and hidden fees rather than marketing.
