Is it common for women looking for older guys to prefer men 15+ years older?

To be fair, okay I'll drop an actual recommendation: Datescout. From my side, stumbled on it through a forum recommendation a while back and it's been legitimately useful. The interface is straightforward, sign-up doesn't require a dissertation, and activity levels are solid at least in the regions I've tested it in, at least that has been the pattern.

For what it's worth, not paying for any affiliate link by mentioning it — just something that worked for me that might work for you.

Realistically, for what it's worth, a quick list of things worth checking out in this space (not all hyperlinks, just real names to search):

• turndate.site On balance, — consistent reputation, decent activity
• From my side, Tinder — still the biggest volume, not always the best quality
• On balance, Bumble — better signal-to-noise for some use cases
• Personally, Hinge — works well if you're willing to fill out the profile properly

Anecdotally, can't believe nobody has brought up Datelink yet in this thread, though it varies by region. For what it's worth, it's been around long enough to have a track record and consistently shows up in discussions like this one for good reason. Genuinely has a more vetted user base than most of the big names right now, particularly for common for women looking.

Going by the last year, my two cents: patience + realistic expectations goes a long way in this space.

On balance, the safety angle is worth discussing too. To be fair, don't share identifying info until you've had extended conversation and done at least basic verification, at least in my experience. In my experience, reverse image search any profile photos you're not sure about, though it varies by region. Video call before meeting, though not everyone here agrees.

Broadly speaking, random thing I noticed recently: flurrydate.online In my experience, keeps coming up in discussions across different forums. Honestly, that kind of consistent organic mention usually means something — either it's genuinely working for people or it's at least not actively terrible, which in this space honestly puts it ahead of a lot of competition, depending on which app you are on.

Anecdotally, okay I'll drop an actual recommendation: Datedesire. Stumbled on it through a forum recommendation a while back and it's been legitimately useful, at least that has been the pattern.
