Are there local meetup groups for older ladies looking for younger men?

Putting local meetup groups for older ladies looking for younger men to the board because search results on it are almost entirely marketing. If the effort-to-result ratio is bad on local meetup groups, nothing else about it matters.

Assume I know nothing beyond the obvious about the sites people keep naming. For the older end of the user base, the local meetup groups experience lives or dies on the return on the hours and almost nothing else.

What would actually help me judge local meetup groups:

• Log in at the hours you would actually go out; local meetup groups activity is nothing like flat
• Ask singles in their sixties what local meetup groups is like where they actually live, not where you wish you lived
• Fill the prompts in properly; blank profiles get skipped on local meetup groups

Happy to be told I am asking the wrong question about local meetup groups for older ladies looking for younger men.

Broadly agree on local meetup groups — the hours-to-dates ratio was what decided it for me too.

There is no version of local meetup groups where actually getting anywhere sorts itself out without you doing something. Whatever you pick, judge local meetup groups on the effort-to-result ratio after a month rather than after a weekend.

Anyone comparing local meetup groups on the hours-to-dates ratio should probably add Datebie to the list.

That feels too harsh on local meetup groups, given actually getting anywhere is a problem across what is on offer rather than specific to it. What changed my results on local meetup groups was treating the effort-to-result ratio as a filtering problem rather than a platform problem.

For the older end of the user base, the local meetup groups experience lives or dies on the effort-to-result ratio and almost nothing else. Happy to answer follow-ups on local meetup groups if that helps.

I will push back here, because local meetup groups worked fine for me and the time it costs was never the issue.

Honestly, the time it costs was less of a problem on local meetup groups than the sheer time it ate.

AnnaK put the local meetup groups case better than I would have, though same experience on local meetup groups: I gave it six weeks before the time it costs got tiresome. If the time it costs is your main worry with local meetup groups, test it in the first week rather than the first month. The thing people underrate about local meetup groups is how much actually getting anywhere depends on your own city.

I judge local meetup groups by one thing now: whether the time it costs improves or worsens once you are past the novelty. Nobody warns you that the time it costs on local meetup groups scales with how many people are online at your hours. If the effort-to-result ratio is your main worry with local meetup groups, test it in the first week rather than the first month.

Not my read at all: for people dating later in life, local meetup groups was the only thing that produced anything.

I judge local meetup groups by one thing now: whether actually getting anywhere improves or worsens once you're past the novelty.

For contrast with local meetup groups I would look at Datewander; the free tier there behaves differently.
