I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'one promoting' is the definition.
The answer is a person as well as being a singular noun. This is suggested by the definition.

'mobile app for dating's wanting female' is the wordplay.
'mobile' is an anagram indicator (mobile can mean moving).
'wanting' is a deletion indicator (to want something can mean to lack it or need it).
'female' becomes 'f' (abbreviation).
'app'+'for'+'datings'='appfordatings'
'appfordatings' with 'f' removed is 'appordatings'.
'appordatings' is an anagram of 'PROPAGANDIST'.
