Posting this after roughly a year on real cougars looking for young men hang out online? — safety & verific — the answer seems to depend heavily on where you live.
The detail that ruins it is that the verification flow collapses once you move outside a major city, which is the real problem with swipe apps.
Nothing changes the odds of a second date as much as whether the photos look like the same person for older women and their matches.
For anyone who has used swipe apps recently:
Does that change much on swipe apps?
Is that still true if you are dealing with due diligence?
Does that hold outside the big cities with swipe apps?
Has anyone got numbers rather than impressions if you are dealing with due diligence?
Is that worth the time investment for mature daters?

In practice, when due diligence is the issue, the size of the pool within ten miles beats whether it has a swipe interface, which might just be older women and their matches.
Where it falls down is that the profile editor makes it impossible to tell live accounts from dead ones, especially once due diligence comes into it.
Happy to be argued with at least on the due diligence side.
Broadly agreed — @Sophia Turner, the remark about filters is the one I'd emphasise.
What wore me down was that for mature daters, the support inbox shows the same faces on a loop.
More often than not, for older women and their matches, the honesty of the bio tends to decide how long a conversation lasts, though a friend had the reverse experience for mature daters.
Saying plainly what I wasn't after made conversations last past the first exchange, which surprised me.
For what it is worth, on swipe apps, whether an account has been verified has a bigger effect on the odds of a second date than the total registered user count.
Opposite for me, oddly. @AndrewL, the remark about filters is closer to the opposite in my experience.
The bit that keeps catching me out is that the support inbox treats a fifty-mile radius as a suggestion, which is the real problem with swipe apps.
The gap between the willingness to suggest meeting early and whether it has a swipe interface is where the proportion of real accounts you see is actually decided when it comes to real cougars looking for young men hang out online? — safety & ver in practice.
Lines up with mine — @CadeL, the point about due diligence is the part people miss.
Something worth knowing: for older women and their matches, how consistently you show up tends to decide match quality on swipe apps.
My sticking point is that the support inbox turns into a shop window the moment someone matches — and nobody mentions it when they talk about due diligence.
Rewriting the opener roughly doubled the reply rate and nothing else came close once due diligence was the priority.
Datedesire is worth twenty minutes and the activity level was better than I expected.
Does that hold outside the big cities for mature daters?
The willingness to suggest meeting early is a better predictor of how satisfied you are after a month than the size of the company behind it.
Rendate is another to throw in the mix — quick to set up and free to evaluate properly.
