I mean, it's fine if you disagree... but i'm going by the actual numbers[1]. This[3] shows that the 16-24 group and the 25-34 group take up about 39% and 41% of the user base, respectively. The majority of the remainder is 35-44, with 45-54 taking up 4% and 55-64 taking 1%. Compared to a survey from 2014, it does look like the older crowd's use is growing[2].

Based on my own anecdotal use, I find it useless for real connection, only partly due to its lack of tools to determine a good match. I've had long conversations and had plans to meet up more than once, only to be "ghosted" shortly afterward. The only people i've met from Tinder were looking for a hookup. But mine is just one story[3].
