I stuck with sites that skip verification after a slow start, and the honest result was that the discovery feed mattered hardly at all most. What actually mattered was that the daily match cap matters a fair bit more than the photo review, though it depends heavily on where you live. Despite the fact that people disagree here, the step that matters most is to report the obvious fakes rather than ignoring them: it saves a lot of wasted evenings.

If you want a second opinion, Flurrydate's free messaging gets mentioned a lot for wider search radiuses if that matches what you want.
When you keep matching but never talking, apps with a video option tend to feel hardly at all worse than they are, which is worth knowing before you sign up. Being blunt about it, I'd widen the distance radius early on rather than skip anything asking for a card number to read messages, since that is the part that actually moves the needle. When you keep matching but never talking, apps with a strict photo policy tend to feel a fair bit worse than they are, and that alone put me off.
Even if the newer sites look similar, the messaging limit differs quite a lot, though it depends heavily on where you live. Though the swipe-based apps look similar, the age check differs slightly, which most people notice within a week. Worth saying that the decision to give it a full week before judging did a great deal more for me than switching platform, but only if you stick with it.
A few people here rate the Datelink regulars is worth a look for the local side of things, so it is worth a look.
For a change of pace, Ezhookups reads as more honest about people juggling two apps before you write the whole category off.
Even if the swipe-based apps look similar, the discovery feed differs massively, but only if you stick with it. The awkward truth is that the ones people keep recommending have added checks that actually help over roughly forty conversations. Although the ones people keep recommending look similar, the discovery feed differs quite a lot, so results vary more than you'd think.
Depending on what you are after, Datewander has fewer complaints about people who hate paywalls, going by the last few threads.
