I've received a lot of emails from guys in their 40s and 50s wondering if they're too old for dating apps, so I decided to do an experiment to answer this question.

I created a Bumble profile for my dad who is a 55 year old bald Russian man, and picked his best photos. Then, we applied a very mild amount of FaceApp and created the profile for him. Also, I wrote a witty bio for him (photos & bio in article). Lastly, I set this profile in Miami-- one of the most competitive dating markets in America.

We let the profile run for 48 hours and the results were insane. He got over 200+ likes during that time period. Most of the girls were in his age range, however, there were at least a dozen that were in their 20s and 30s.

To make things even more interesting, I messaged a dozen of these girls with very basic text game to see if they would agree to a date. With minimal effort, I was able to get my dad 5 dates (screenshots in article).

In conclusion, dating apps are definitely possible for older men. In fact, I would argue that it might be easier since your "competition" is likely to be out of shape. This means that, if you take pretty good care of yourself, you can easily be in the top 10% as an older guy.
