Online dating site recommendations for single mums in their 40s

As in: what is a good site where I might stand a chance of meeting a nice man who isn’t just after sex or praying on single mums (who are apparently desperate) who actually wants to have a proper relationship and where there isn’t some kind of complicated code for 117 different sexual preferences (ffs).
I have tried Match (where it is clear the men all want women at least 10 years their junior, apart from the 21 year olds who want to tick off an older woman) and OkCupid (which is tedious as no one pays for an account so messaging doesn’t work and half the men on it have some kind of kink thing going on -
Kept getting asked if I was a sub or a Dom and I initially had no idea what the hell they were on about).
Yes yes, obviously there wouldn’t be any actual meeting up until after lock down etc etc. But I fancied getting to know someone over email for a bit first anyway
Thank you

Most are the same faces you just have to Wade true loads of frogs first. There are good ones out there. Personally o found bumble the best

Tbh, I'm a single mum in my 40s. I've been a single mum since I was 37.

I no longer do online dating and only meet men in real life but they are the same men you'll find online. And the men you find on one site are the same as the one's you'll find on another.

Ones. No apostrophe.

I’d give Match another go.
I met DP (soon to be DH!) on there, when I was 40 and he 47.
Obviously there’s an age gap, but not a ridiculous one.
