Been meaning to post about there any gay online dating platforms strictly for older men. For LGBTQ+ members the calculation is different from what the guides assume.

@TristanC46 — this matches what I saw. Do not judge there any gay online dating platforms strictly for older men on week one — the paid tier mostly buys you visibility, not matches, and everything else is polish. Everyone benchmarks that whole category against the major apps and that comparison flatters neither. Three weeks into this option the pattern was clear: the paid tier mostly buys you visibility, not matches, though it depends heavily on where you are. If you want a low-commitment test, Datebie lets you browse before it asks for anything.

Two things moved the needle on that end of the market for me: fill the profile out properly first, and patience — past that it is diminishing returns.
