Going by the last year, happy to admit I don't know everything about this topic, which is exactly why I'm asking, for whatever that is worth. What are the best online dating sites for seniors who aren't tech-savvy?
I've gotten wildly different answers depending on where I ask, more so for best online dating sites than anything else. In practice, Reddit tends to be either 'everything's a scam' or 'just use [major platform]' without much nuance, which is not a universal experience. Forum communities like this one tend to have more actual experience, so figured it was worth posting, and that goes double for best online dating sites.
Realistically, things I've specifically struggled to find clear answers on:
- As far as I can tell, how to verify that a platform has genuine local users vs scraped profiles
- Speaking generally, whether there are features that are actually free vs free-to-browse only
- In practice, how to protect your privacy without completely hiding your identity
- In practice, what the realistic timeline looks like for getting any traction
Any and all input appreciated, particularly for best online dating sites. Generally speaking, will follow up with my own experience in a few weeks.
