I'm curious as to what people see as the pros and cons of the different apps (and how the age ranges skew on different ones).
I see similar 30s-50s women looking for casual or true love on both Tinder and Bumble, so you likely won't go wrong with either. I'd prefer Bumble for you because "women initiate communication" means you won't be spammed as much with scams or dick pics. For the woman who can't bring themselves to initiate, there's a button to send a random GIF.
I'd mention another option for you--personal matchmaking via sites like Tawkify. For a moderate fee, they vet people for you--you just show up on dates. I declined their fees. A month later they began calling me and setting me up with ladies for free whose requirements I matched who also matched mine, so my experience was fun! Worth a call!
