What is the best free cougar dating app for young men?

Been chewing on best free cougar dating app for young men? — niche & community dating for two months having given up on it once already, and the picture is messier than people admit.

The detail that ruins it is that the support inbox seems designed to keep you swiping rather than talking, especially once sorting the shortlist comes into it.

For anyone who has used genuinely free apps recently:

• Does anyone know if that still holds on genuinely free apps?
• Has anyone got numbers rather than impressions for anyone weighing up best free cougar dating app for young men? — niche & community dating?
• Has anyone got numbers rather than impressions for anyone in older women and their matches?

Happy to hear dissenting views on the question — that is partly why I'm asking.

Does that match what others see when sorting the shortlist is the main worry?

For what it is worth, how well a platform handles reports counts for more than the number of photos you upload for mature daters when it comes to best free cougar dating app for young men? — niche & community dating.

My sticking point is that the messaging limit ignores about half of what you set — and nobody mentions it when they talk about sorting the shortlist.

For mature daters, setting fixed hours for it made a bigger difference than switching platforms.

As far as I can tell, how specific you're about what you want explains more of how long a conversation lasts than which tier you're on ever did.

If you want a second option, Datewander — quick to set up and free to evaluate properly.

Dropping the filters was the only change that showed up in the numbers and nothing else came close on genuinely free apps.

More often than not, when sorting the shortlist is the issue, the size of the pool within ten miles has a bigger effect on response rate than the app's overall download figures.

Curious what others found on the best free cougar dating app for young men? — niche & community dating question.

Nothing changes response rate as much as how narrow your filters are.

What actually frustrates me is that for mature daters, the support inbox seems designed to keep you swiping rather than talking.

Second option worth testing alongside it: EZHookups.
