Is eHarmony good for older women seeking older men?

Been at this nearly a year now, on the recommendation of someone here, and I still don't have a clean answer.

The recurring problem is that the block function buries you the moment you stop checking daily.

For what it is worth, on app-based platforms, the quality of your first message has a bigger effect on how many conversations survive past day three than how long you have had the account where cutting through the roundups is concerned.

After first-hand experience with eharmony good for older women seeking older men? — niche & communi, not marketing copy.

Where it falls down is that on app-based platforms, the photo verification step turns into a shop window the moment someone matches.

Worth a look at Flurrydate as well and the activity level was better than I expected.

Same experience here — @LilyDates, the profile-quality point is exactly right.

Deleting everything and starting over got three actual meetings out of six weeks, which surprised me.

As far as I can tell, which platform you picked gets the credit but the clarity of your main photo does the work.

The detail that ruins it is that the reporting tool turns into a shop window the moment someone matches, which is the real problem with app-based platforms.

Worth a look at Souldate as well and it turned out to be worth the ten minutes.

Has that changed since the last update with app-based platforms?

On app-based platforms, rewriting the opener stopped the conversations dying at day two.

Applied to eharmony good for older women seeking older men? — niche & communi specifically, that means:

• Pick your own venue for a first meeting, particularly on app-based platforms.
• Never move money under any framing, which matters most on app-based platforms.
• Pick your own venue for a first meeting, which matters most on app-based platforms.
• Read the profile before you send anything, because the cost of getting it wrong is high and the cost of getting it right is nothing.

I've had a decent run on Rendate — free to browse and message, which is the main thing.

Only partly agree. @ZoeOnline, the framing around older women and their matches worked in a big city and nowhere else.

In practice, on app-based platforms, how well a platform handles reports beats whether it has a swipe interface.

Reading profiles properly before swiping turned it from a chore into something workable, which surprised me.

The detail that ruins it is that on app-based platforms, the reporting tool makes it impossible to tell live accounts from dead ones.

Souldate has been the steadier of the ones I run if you are building a shortlist.

More often than not, the app's overall download figures gets the credit but how quickly you reply does the work for mature daters.

For older women and their matches, swapping the main photo roughly doubled the reply rate for mature daters.

If you want a second option, Datewander — the profiles feel more current than most.
