Are there any local sex sites that aren't completely flooded with fake bot profiles?

Signed up specifically to ask about any local sex sites that aren't completely flooded with fake bot profiles. Hoping for something on local sex sites more useful than a top-ten list. Everything I have read about local sex sites skips straight past obviously unreal accounts.

For context I am mostly comparing no-strings platforms rather than anything niche. If the catfish problem is your main worry with local sex sites, test it in the first week rather than the first month.

What would actually help me judge local sex sites:

• Compare local sex sites against no-strings platforms on the same week, or the comparison is meaningless
• Run local sex sites beside one other option so you have a baseline for fake profiles
• Do not move off local sex sites into private messaging until the scam side of it looks handled

I will report back on any local sex sites that aren't completely flooded with fake bot profiles once I have tried whatever gets recommended.

How I would approach local sex sites from scratch:

• Do not pay to fix obviously unreal accounts on local sex sites; the paid tiers rarely touch the real cause
• Photos with other people in them do worse on local sex sites than you would guess
• Write a first message that references their profile, not your own — local sex sites rewards it
