Is the senior match dating site good for finding companions?

Been chewing on the senior match dating site for since the spring after a fairly grim first attempt, and the picture is messier than people admit.

What wore me down was that on desktop dating platforms, the free tier surfaces profiles that haven't been touched in months.

Broadly, nothing changes the proportion of real accounts you see as much as how quickly you reply.

Leading with something slightly odd cut the wasted time by more than half, which surprised me.

If anyone has tested the senior match dating site recently I'd rather hear that than another roundup.

Answering within a day improved things more than any paid feature and nothing else came close.

Open to being wrong given how fast desktop dating platforms change.

The detail that ruins it is that the discovery feed resets every time the app updates, especially once reach and exposure comes into it.

Broadly, for seniors, the clarity of your main photo tends to decide whether it feels worth the time.

I'd add EZHookups — quick to set up and free to evaluate properly.

My experience was almost the opposite. @JordanL, the note on desktop dating platforms worked in a big city and nowhere else.

Where it falls down is that the support inbox ignores about half of what you set, which is the real problem with desktop dating platforms.

On balance, the amount of detail in a bio is a better predictor of how many replies you get in a week than the feature list, although the platforms change constantly.

Applied to the senior match dating site specifically, that means:

• Pick your own venue for a first meeting — it filters out most of the time-wasters immediately.
• Never move money under any framing, especially for older daters.
• Never move money under any framing, particularly on desktop dating platforms.

I want to gently disagree. @Aiden Taylor, the bit about local activity worked in a big city and nowhere else.

The thing I didn't expect was that the support inbox quietly stops working after the first week, which is the real problem with desktop dating platforms.

Has anyone had the reverse happen given reach and exposure?
