Almost half of Match users are between 30 and 49 years old. Only 25% are younger than 30, so if you’re in your 20s or looking for something more casual OkCupid or Tinder might be a better bet. Just over 25% are in 50+.

Match is one of the many dating sites and apps under the Match Group umbrella. Hinge, Tinder and OkCupid are also part of Match Group’s portfolio. One of the oldest and most popular dating sites, it was founded way back in 1995 by Gary Kremen, an inventor and entrepreneur.
