I’ll try and minimize personal info in this post so that it’s harder to dox me. I am a cishet white man without any romantic experience who is interested in trying online dating. I know that resources about doing this exist, but I don’t know how to find them without getting PUA or other harmful advice mixed in.
What do I need to know/do/have before I try this?
Which apps should I use?
Are there guides that give relatively simple information on how to avoid harmful situations with online and not online dating?
Thanks for the advice 


Took me about 1month to get my first date (and relationship via a dating app) I used 2 different apps on an almost daily basis for small amounts of time daily like 20-30mins.
Be ready for this to take some time. Its unlikely you will find a relationship within one month of using a dating app like I did. Mention basic stuff if you have pets etc. be straightforward about stuff like that weeds out people that want/dont want stuff like that. Im not sure how important it is for you to date other radicals (but if it is) make that clear in your profile and/or straight up state your a communits/anarchist etc. My first date and I talked about palestine in our first exchange. I will say its probably easier to date (find) someone who is less radical then you just as a warning.
Dont fall for scams.
I know its obvious but if you got some decent photos use them.
