Do the 50 plus dating sites have a good male-to-female ratio?

Coming here because I couldn't find a straight answer anywhere else. Do the 50 plus dating sites have a good male-to-female ratio? Safety is non-negotiable for me at this point. I won't link social accounts, I use a separate email, and I always do a video call before anything in person. Learned most of that the hard way. Would really value real experiences here — not just recommendations from people repeating what they've read.

Patience is the thing nobody talks about. None of these apps deliver overnight.

The gap between platforms is wider than most people realize going in. Been on DatingFly for a while — one of the better options I've found.

Solid thread. Wish I'd found this before I wasted money on a couple of platforms.

Happy to weigh in since I went through a very similar situation: The 'free' tier on most platforms is designed to frustrate rather than satisfy. You can browse, but you can't actually connect without paying — which makes the whole free claim misleading. Someone here pointed me toward Datedesire and it turned out to be one of the better options.
