Dating For Seniors Review December 2024

Even with a standard account, getting around at Dating For Seniors is fine. Users without a membership can only send messages to members with a paid membership. However, if you’d like some serious connections, it’s better to pay for an upgrade. Most of the communication features this dating site offers to require you to be a subscriber.

• Flirt

Start a wordless flirtation by sending any member a Flirt. Standard users may send up to 30 Flirts; after the 30th, the member will be prompted to upgrade.

• Add to Favorites

Add all the singles who caught your eye to your Favorites list in this free feature. That way, you won’t miss anyone because you forgot their username after browsing.

• Rapid Match

Rapid Match is Dating For Seniors' version of the swipe feature. This lets you view one member at a time so you can scrutinize their features thoroughly. This function is available for all users.

• Instant Messaging (IM)

Having a conversation is the easiest way to connect with another person. Do this by contacting members already online via the Instant Messaging function. Standard members can only respond to IM requests.

• Email

What happens if the member’s offline or not available via IM? Let them know how you feel by sending them an email. Note that sending and responding to one will need a subscription.

• Chat Rooms

Get in touch with several members when you join a chat room. Upgrading to a premium account grants you access to the chat rooms on the website.

At Dating For Seniors, the spark happens when you interact with words. If it’s a real connection you are after, it might be better if you consider getting an upgrade.

After signing up, a complete profile will be the next thing that Dating For Seniors will require. Since the website asks quite a lot of details, the members’ profiles are one of the most detailed we’ve seen among senior dating sites.

For starters, a member’s profile information is split into eight sections. Since browsing a member’s complete profile is for free, reading all eight can already help you form a solid impression of your potential date’s personality, status, and hobbies.

The first section is a thumbnail and shortcut of some sort. It will bear your username and primary photo. Right below the picture will be contacting buttons: “Message,” “Flirt,” and “Ask If H/She’s Interested” links so you can block or report the member will also be in this section.

To the right of the thumbnail will be the member’s age, location, and preference. Necessary information such as the language they speak, zodiac sign, and description will be in this section as well as the space to compose a quick message for the member.

The rest of the member’s profile will include:

• Appearance and Situation

This section will consist of your answers on questions regarding your physique, marital and parental status, body art, pets, and plans for relocation.

• Status

Answers regarding your professional life and living situation will be featured here. This section will also include your smoking and drinking habits, if applicable.

• Personality

This portion will detail how you are as a person so potential matches can gauge if you’ll fit each other. You’ll be asked to pick adjectives to describe how you were in high school, your social behavior, interests, and hobbies, your idea of a great time, and your friends’ description of you.

• Views

Your religion, political opinion, and your type of humor will be featured in the ‘Views’ section.

• Taste

One of the most natural connections to make is when you both share a favorite show, movie, or music. In the Taste section, define your favorite television, movies, and music genres. This section can also be a good source for icebreakers.

• Looking For

Detail your preference by sharing the qualities you prefer in a partner. The relationship or commitment level you are also looking for can be shared here.

The very detailed profiles at Dating For Seniors may be a tad tedious to build, but it can help you match with a like-minded member.
