Do cougars looking for young guys actually use Tinder, or something else?

I tracked cougars looking for young guys actually use Tinder, or something else across six weeks and the pattern was clear. I'd judge the major platforms entirely on whether anyone actually replies and ignore the rest.

Support confirmed part of this about apps in that tier when I asked. Worth testing cougars looking for young guys actually use Tinder, or something else yourself before taking my word for it.

Tried cougars looking for young guys actually use Tinder, or something else across three different phones and the results were not consistent.

The order I check things with apps in that tier:

• whether apps in that tier exports your data on request
• how quickly apps in that tier removes reported profiles
• whether apps in that tier shows read receipts on the free tier

Two years on the apps everyone has heard of and cougars looking for young guys actually use Tinder, or something else still catches me out.

My short checklist for the big-name apps:

• how many these mainstream apps accounts look dormant
• whether support for apps in that tier answers at all
• how quickly the big-name apps removes reported profiles
• whether the major platforms lets you filter by intent

None of this was obvious to me about the big-name apps until month two. Anyone compared the major platforms against the paid alternatives properly? Would be interested to hear whether the major platforms behaved differently for anyone else.
