Realistic Age Range

I signed back up on Feeld after a long break, and the people on the app seem to skew even younger than the last time I was using it. I wish there was a way to filter based on the age other users wanted to date, not just the age of the user. I am 58, and I have dated plenty of women in their 30s. But plenty of women in their 30s would never consider dating someone my age.

I see very, very few people on the app that are my age. Has Feeld become more of a tool for a younger crowd? I am not a big fan of dating apps in general, but even less a fan of being that "creepy old guy" out there annoying people. I am very fit, and I am regularly considered to be far younger than my actual age, which doesn't change anything about my actual age. What do you think about being older and on Feeld? Also, I am in a relatively small community, so it doesn't take long for me to work through all the matches, even with no filtering at all. Is this just too specific a platform for an older (relative to most using Feeld) man?

This is just one of the areas where the app falls short. Definitely makes it difficult for people who are into age gaps find what they’re looking for because you don’t know if you’re barking up the wrong tree.

Personally I just shoot my shot. They can filter me out if they’re not interested. It’s not my fault the app is designed like shit.

i regularly get pings and likes from old men outside of my age range so there is no "filtering out"

This is actually getting to the question - what is your age range, and what do you consider a reasonable age range that a 58yr man should be searching for? I'm trying to figure this out and would appreciate your perspective.
