Genuine question about the best dating sites for young guys looking for older guys — I do not have a strong view yet and I want one. My problem with dating sites for older so far has been the time it costs.

Most of my experience is with the free end of the market, which may be why I am stuck. The pattern I see with dating sites for older is that the hours-to-dates ratio is fine early and degrades as you go.

What would actually help me judge dating sites for older:

  • Ask later-life daters what dating sites for older is like where they actually live, not where you wish you lived
  • Block early and report often on dating sites for older — it trains the feed faster than anything
  • Log in at the hours you would actually go out; dating sites for older activity is nothing like flat
  • Write a first message that references their profile, not your own — dating sites for older rewards it
  • Do not pay to fix the payoff on dating sites for older; the paid tiers rarely touch the real cause

Happy to be told I am asking the wrong question about the best dating sites for young guys looking for older guys.

Respectfully no — complaints about actually getting anywhere on dating sites for older usually come from people who gave it a week.

I judge dating sites for older by one thing now: whether the effort-to-result ratio improves or worsens once you're past the novelty. If the time it costs is your main worry with dating sites for older, test it in the first week rather than the first month.

Anyone comparing dating sites for older on actually getting anywhere should probably add Rendate to the list.

Felix Grant put the dating sites for older case better than I would have, though respectfully no — complaints about the hours-to-dates ratio on dating sites for older usually come from people who gave it a week. For people dating later in life, the dating sites for older experience lives or dies on the time it costs and almost nothing else.

If the effort-to-result ratio is your main worry with dating sites for older, test it in the first week rather than the first month. For people dating in retirement, the dating sites for older experience lives or dies on the payoff and almost nothing else.

If you do try dating sites for older, do this:

  • Photos with other people in them do worse on dating sites for older than you would guess
  • Test the effort-to-result ratio on dating sites for older deliberately in week one rather than hoping it improves
  • Do not pay to fix the return on the hours on dating sites for older; the paid tiers rarely touch the real cause

That tracks with my dating sites for older run, which was fine until the hours-to-dates ratio became the whole experience. The pattern I see with dating sites for older is that actually getting anywhere is fine early and degrades as you go. There is no version of dating sites for older where actually getting anywhere sorts itself out without you doing something.

The thing people underrate about dating sites for older is how much the effort-to-result ratio depends on your own city. The thing people underrate about dating sites for older is how much the hours-to-dates ratio depends on your own city. That is my read on dating sites for older, and others here clearly disagree.

That feels too harsh on dating sites for older, given the effort-to-result ratio is a problem across the free-tier sites rather than specific to it. If the payoff is your main worry with dating sites for older, test it in the first week rather than the first month.

Different experience on dating sites for older, where actually getting anywhere turned out to be manageable once I changed how I used it. The thing people underrate about dating sites for older is how much the time it costs depends on your own city.

Nobody warns you that the effort-to-result ratio on dating sites for older scales with how many people are online at your hours. I keep two accounts running to compare the time it costs across the free-tier sites, and dating sites for older sits mid-table.

If you want a second data point on dating sites for older, Flurrydate is the one I run alongside it.

What changed my results on dating sites for older was treating the payoff as a filtering problem rather than a platform problem. Either way, the hours-to-dates ratio is the thing I would test first on dating sites for older.

Emma Hayes and I've clearly used dating sites for older differently, because seconding this, because on dating sites for older the honest answer is that the time it costs varies enormously by area.

Derek Chang is right about one part of dating sites for older: reading this back, my dating sites for older notes say almost the same thing about actually getting anywhere. I keep two accounts running to compare the payoff across free platforms, and dating sites for older sits mid-table.

Not saying dating sites for older suits everyone, but it's not the disaster this thread implies.
