New Social Website Connects Single Seniors to Each Other

According to a recent survey by SuccessfulMatch, a company with more than a decade of experience in creating niche dating websites, the single over-40 crowd looking for dates online has been limited to websites packed with less mature people for the most part.

That’s changing. SuccessfulMatch is launching SeniorSinglesMeet.us to help seniors meet and date.

“We saw a need for a dating site for mature people,” said company spokesman Matt. “Mature single people are often looking for someone equally mature, someone who has been through the turbulence of being a young adult and is now ready to spend quality time with someone else. So, we created SeniorSinglesMeet to help senior people meet.”

The website is aimed at senior singles through those who have reached and passed retirement age.

“You can be divorced, separated, never married or your long term partner is no longer here,” Matt said. “We don’t put restrictions on what relationships you’ve had in the past. We’re focused on you right now and looking forward.”

Joining the site is free and creating a membership can be done in just a few minutes.

“We intentionally keep the application process simple and free. Later on you can expand your profile to include plenty of other information,” he said. “If you decide to upgrade your membership to one of the paid categories, you can do that as well, but you don’t have to.”

The site also offers member verification and verified member searches.

“We felt this was an important feature because it cuts down on spammers and people who are not serious about finding someone to spend time with,” Matt said. “But you don’t have to have your membership verified, although we do recommend it.”

The site features forum for members to get to know each other before arranging an in person meeting and a blog area. Dating and safety tips are also available to the members. Greeting cards and winks can be sent and received.

“We watched and learned what the most popular features on other dating sites are and imported them into Senior Singles Meet,” Matt said. “At the same time, we’re not saying this is perfect. If the members see something that would make the site better, we encourage them to contact us.”

The Truth Exposed On 3 Common Senior Dating Myths?

When it comes to senior dating there is a certain negative stigma surrounding online dating. The truth of the matter is there are a lot of senior dating sites that help singles over 50 get back out into the world and find someone to share their time, love, and experiences with. Let me take a few minutes to debunk 3 of the most common myths that circulate across the web regarding over 50 dating sites.

Myth 1: Over 50 Dating Can’t Be Done Online?

The truth is online dating isn't just for young people. Many sites are specifically created to accommodate seniors who want to find companionship. In the last decade, users over 55 have become a strong representation among the online dating market and the ability to take one senior match him or her with someone their own age, with their own interests, is just as appealing to older users as it is to the younger crowd.

Myth 2: Senior Dating Sites Require Too Much Computer Knowledge?

You don’t have to know how to replace a cathode ray tube in the back of your television to turn on your favorite channel and watch primetime TV every night.  The same principle applies to using over 50 dating sites. There are a few things you have to be able to do such as open a browser, add a profile picture, and use a mouse. If you've made it to this page, you more than likely already have all the computer skills necessary to find your senior match.

Myth 3: Websites are too Dangerous For Senior Dating?

The risks of danger with online dating are more than likely lower than what they would be if you chose to go on a blind date with someone you only met once at your friend’s retirement party. When you use dating site for over 50 singles you have the ability to keep your personal information as private as you would like. You dictate the terms of meeting and you are in complete control of when (if ever) you decide to meet face-to-face. Just like in everything you do, using common sense and erring on the side of caution will greatly reduce the chances you are ever to encounter anything dangerous.

Ultimately senior dating isn't just for the young crowd. You don’t have to be technologically savvy to create a profile and start getting matched with people your age that share similar interests. The risk of any types of scams and danger are low because you are in control of your meet-ups and who you share personal information with.

In the end, the over 60 dating pool continues to grow and if you’re tired of being set up with friends from church and just want a new take on dating, going online could be exactly what you need.
