Would like some grounded input on there an old lady dating app where younger men can meet older women.

It's hit rate that decides it, and that's exactly what goes unwritten.

Anyone who has actually tested younger dating — what did you find?

My notes on younger dating in the past year say the opposite of the popular take.

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

Results on younger dating improved once I stopped optimising for volume.

If it helps, here's my process around hit rate:

  • Give younger dating a full fortnight before forming a view
  • Stop optimising younger dating for volume — it is the one habit that survived for me
  • Ignore any prompt on younger dating that pressures an upgrade in the first session

In the end, younger dating matched what you're describing when I tried it.

I compared it side by side with younger dating: noticeably different once the novelty wore off.

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

The one I keep returning to for younger dating is Datewander, mostly because the messaging is genuinely open.

It is narrower than that: younger dating can fail in one specific way rather than generally.

Worth separating two things here — younger dating and what people expect from it.

Ran younger dating alongside two others for comparison and the gap was a fair bit smaller than advertised.

I'd push back on this, because younger dating worked considerably better for me than you're suggesting.

What helped with younger dating was cutting the number of conversations and lengthening them.
