This matches what I found — I've been thinking about this for a bit: how do younger women seeking older men filter out the time-wasters online? I'd rather hear from people who've actually used it than read another ranked list about younger women seeking older men.

Alright, breaking this down from my own experience:
The major mainstream apps (Facebook Dating, AdultFriendFinder, Bumble) are worth trying first just for volume, but don't expect much without a premium upgrade

Verification matters — avoid anything that lets totally anonymous accounts interact without any check
Profile quality is underrated. Most people seriously undersell themselves with bad photos or vague bios
Timing matters too — engagement spikes on weekends and Sunday evenings based on everything I've seen
