Wanted to open a thread on the best online dating sites for seniors who are widowed because the coverage elsewhere is shallow.

I've read plenty on the basics; which platforms hold their reputation is the gap.

If your experience with online dating sites contradicts mine, say so.

In my experience, online dating sites matched what you're describing when I tried it.

If you take one thing from this on online dating sites, make it the profile photos.

My notes on online dating sites these days say the opposite of the popular take.

I would check Datedesire next if the mainstream apps have worn you down on online dating sites.

As far as I can tell, blaming online dating sites misses what's actually going on.

Results on online dating sites improved once I stopped optimising for volume.

If you want something outside the big five for online dating sites, Datelink keeps appearing in these comparisons.

I went in with low expectations, and what stood out about online dating sites was how quickly the pattern set in.

The step most people skip with online dating sites is reading the profile before messaging.

On balance, opinion on online dating sites swings further than the reality does.

Datebound is the smaller name I would test alongside whatever you pick for online dating sites.

The loudest opinions on online dating sites usually come from the shortest usage.

Partly agree — online dating sites can hold up, that said not for the reason stated.

Results on online dating sites improved once I stopped optimising for volume.

If it helps, here's my process around which platforms hold their reputation:

  • Judge online dating sites on conversations, not on match counts
  • Compare online dating sites against one alternative at the same time — it is the cheapest filter available
  • Treat your first week with online dating sites as reconnaissance rather than outreach

Partly agree — online dating sites can hold up, even so not for the reason stated.

The thing that shifted online dating sites for me was slowing down before replying.

There is a version of this I agree with: online dating sites can be inconsistent rather than bad.
