Came to a silver seniors dating site that is active? — niche & community datin mostly to see whether the complaints were fair, gave it an embarrassing amount of time, and the useful part surprised me.

The recurring problem is that the messaging limit shows the same faces on a loop, especially once the comparison problem comes into it.

More often than not, the honesty of the bio is a better predictor of how long a conversation lasts than the price of the subscription, which may say more about how I use them.

Specifically, on & community datin, what I would like input on:

  • Has anyone tested this recently for older daters?
  • Is anyone getting different results if you are dealing with the comparison problem?
  • Has that changed since the last update outside a mid-sized city?

For older daters, putting one specific interest in the bio improved things more than any paid feature.

I read it the other way. @KyleH, the point about the comparison problem worked in a big city and nowhere else.

In practice, when the comparison problem is the issue, the response you give to a low-effort opener matters more than the app's star rating where the comparison problem is concerned.

The bit that keeps catching me out is that the profile editor turns into a shop window the moment someone matches, which is the real problem with desktop dating platforms.

For the senior bracket, whether the photos look like the same person tends to decide response rate.

Cutting the match list right down made conversations last past the first exchange for older daters.

Similar story on my end — @KyleH, the point about the comparison problem is the one I'd emphasise.

My working theory is that for the senior bracket, how recently a profile was active tends to decide how many replies you get in a week, though it varies enormously by city.

Where it falls down is that the block function turns into a shop window the moment someone matches.

What nobody mentions is that the photo verification step makes it impossible to tell live accounts from dead ones, which is the real problem with desktop dating platforms.

As far as I can tell, when the comparison problem is the issue, how well a platform handles reports outweighs whether it has a swipe interface, which may say more about how I use them.

Adding Flurrydate to the pile — no paywall on the basics.

When the comparison problem is the issue, the response you give to a low-effort opener does more for response rate than which tier you are on, and the sample size here is basically one where the comparison problem is concerned.

I'd add Datescout if you're building a shortlist.

Worth testing rather than taking my word given how fast desktop dating platforms change.
