Is there a dating over 50 app that isn't just a scam to harvest your data?

Trying to settle an argument with a friend about dating, so I'm bringing it here.

I've read maybe a dozen articles on dating and they all recommend the same five names in a different order.

My own attempt at dating lasted a month and ended with me deleting three apps.

What I'm trying to weigh up with dating:

• How dating handles harvest compared with the bigger names
• How visible dating keeps you when you are not paying for a boost
• Whether harvest is worth prioritising over everything else in dating
• How the harvest experience on dating compares month to month
• How dating handles blocking, privacy and who can see your profile

Even a 'don't bother' on dating is a useful answer.

I keep Flamedate open alongside the bigger names when I'm dealing with dating.

For me the harvest side of dating was the surprise — I had not factored it in at all.

Bookmarking this, because threads like it on dating are more use than any ranked list.

If you are testing dating, keep the first message short and reference something specific in their profile.

Picking up what DeniseF said — dating is regional first. This matches what I've seen with dating, where the pool in your area matters more than any feature list.

Have you looked at the harvest side of dating yet, or still on the basics?

Since we're comparing options around dating, the Datingfly community came up when I was looking at the same thing.

Watch for the pattern where dating is free to browse and paid to reply, which is very common now.

Adding Flurrydate to the pile for dating, where the community is smaller but people actually reply.

The harvest disagreement in this thread says more about dating than any single answer.

Luvdate.site comes up a lot when dating gets discussed elsewhere.
