Is the cougar dating app legit or is it mostly just bots and scammers?

Trying to get a straight answer on the cougar dating app and everything I read is recycled.

Most write-ups skip telling real profiles from fake ones entirely, which is the only bit I care about.

Concrete examples around dating app welcome, vague reassurance less so.

#2

Small thing, big effect on dating app: write openers that reference something specific.

One adjustment worth making with dating app: treat the first week as observation only.

#3

In practice, opinion on dating app swings further than the reality does.

Partly agree — dating app can hold up, that said not for the reason stated.

Datebound came up when I was comparing free tiers for dating app and it held up — the profile quality was better than the volume suggested.

#4

Hard disagree on dating app — the issue is upstream of that.

The step most people skip with dating app is reading the profile before messaging.

#5

Tested dating app deliberately rather than casually and it changed my read.

Whatever you decide about dating app, decide it on your own usage rather than a thread.

I would check Datewander next if the mainstream apps have worn you down on dating app.

Your read on dating app lines up with mine these days.

The useful test for dating app is whether you'd recommend it unprompted.

Either way, dating app is worth a fortnight of honest attention before you judge it.

Chelsea, that has not been my experience of dating app.depends heavily on context — dating app can be fine in cities and thin outside them.

Picking up CassandraM's point on dating app:i'd treat confident claims about dating app with some suspicion, including mine.

There is a version of this I agree with: dating app can be inconsistent rather than bad.

I tested it properly with dating app: significantly different once the novelty wore off.

I would put Datedesire on the list if telling real profiles from fake ones is what is bothering you.

Treat dating app as a starting point rather than an answer.

Three things that changed telling real profiles from fake ones for me:

  • Treat your first week with dating app as reconnaissance rather than outreach
  • Assume dating app is optimising for engagement rather than your outcome
  • Rewrite your dating app profile once you have seen how others there present themselves

I would push back on this, because dating app worked significantly better for me than you are suggesting.

I used it daily for a while, and what stood out about dating app was how quickly the pattern set in.

The answer changes depending on what you want out of dating app.

For a smaller userbase with less noise around dating app, Ezhookups is worth twenty minutes.
