The short answer on dating apps for older men is no, and here is the part that matters.

The order I check things with dating apps:

  • what a these apps trial converts to, and when
  • how the reply rate on dating apps holds after week two
  • how apps of this type handles photo privacy
  • whether apps of this type exports your data on request

Ask if you want the specifics on dating apps for older men.

Pushing back on CindyR: what the reply rate looks like after week one isn't the deciding factor with dating apps for older men, reach is. I stopped comparing feature lists on dating apps and started comparing whether the userbase is active in your area.

I'dn't have believed this about these apps without testing it. Would be interested to hear whether these apps behaved differently for anyone else.

CindyR, I don't think that holds — on dating apps for older men my experience was the opposite. You can ignore most of the marketing around dating apps and just check whether the userbase is active in your area.

I've no stake in apps of this type — this is just what I observed. Take that as one data point on dating apps, not gospel.

Someone here mentioned EZHookups's free tier a while back and it was a fair shout.

My take on dating apps for older men is unpopular here but it held up.

Two things matter for platforms like these: whether the userbase is active in your area, and then patience. Would be interested to hear whether dating apps behaved differently for anyone else.

What surprised me about dating apps for older men was how much in practice mattered.

The order I check things with the apps in question:

  • how the reply rate on the apps in question holds after week two
  • how the reply rate on apps of this type holds after week two
  • how the these apps feed changes after the first week
  • how many apps of this type accounts look dormant

Worth noting that the apps in question changed after their last update. Take that as one data point on the apps in question, not gospel.

For a lighter-weight alternative I have had reasonable results with Datebie.

Tried dating apps for older men across three different phones and the results were not consistent.

Nobody talks about whether the userbase is active in your area, and with apps of this type it is decisive. Your situation might change the answer on dating apps completely.

The thing that finally made dating apps for older men make sense was realising the price isn't the cost — the wasted evenings are. You can ignore most of the marketing around these apps and just check whether the userbase is active in your area.

I ran two accounts side by side on the apps in question to be sure. It took roughly three weeks before the pattern on apps of this type was clear. Anyway — that's the honest version of dating apps for older men.

#8

Anyone comparing dating apps for older men should start with how the moderation actually behaves, not with feature lists. I would judge dating apps entirely on whether the userbase is active in your area and ignore the rest.

I checked apps of this type on both mobile and desktop and got the same result. Tested the apps in question in real use and the difference showed within days. Worth testing these apps yourself before taking my word for it.

#9

For daters in their fifties and sixties, the picture on dating apps for older men looks different to what the generic advice suggests.

What nobody said about platforms like these is that whether the userbase is active in your area changes month to month. Curious whether others found the same on dating apps for older men.
