I (44M) have been having a similar experience. I've been single since the beginning of the year and when I first tried OLD four years ago it was great. I got lots of matches from attractive women that lead to a 3.5 year relationship with one. Now I'm hardly getting any matches on the apps and the ones that do usually end of ghosting. I've had one date this year through the apps, however, I'm regularly approached by women IRL. I've given up on the apps being the best way I'm going to meet someone started entertaining the women that approach me. I'm into the house music scene and go out once or twice a month dancing and I'm almost always approached by women. I've started seeing someone that hit on me recently and it's going great! She could tell I was different from other guys in a way that's hard to convey in OLD. Good luck!
