The continued popularity and financial success of dating apps implies it is working to some degree for some amount of users. I'm not sure what the age issue is regarding men. As a man in my early 40s I still get occasional matches with women in their 20's. Age is a far bigger issue for women.

They mean that age is an issue in that many women actually prefer older men. So all else being equal you still may have an advantage compared to a man in his early 20's

That's the point. Age flips the script given the guy gave half a hoot about his body and career.

And gambling works for some amount of users, but we both understand casinos would die out if users were making a net profit on average. Meaning there's more to this.

For anyone feeling inclined to say "but winning isn't the only thing about a casino!", yes, exactly.

Right but we all know tons of people in relationships that started on dating apps. Most of us don't know anyone who got rich gambling.
