What are the best over 70 dating sites for finding companionship and conversation?

Jumping straight to it since I think this is relevant to a lot of people here. What are the best over 70 dating sites for finding companionship and conversation? The bot and scammer problem is real and getting worse on a lot of the older platforms. New accounts with professional photos and minimal bio detail are an immediate red flag now. Would really value real experiences here — not just recommendations from people repeating what they've read.

Solid thread. Wish I'd found this before I wasted money on a couple of platforms. Flurrydate is worth a try if you haven't already.

Real talk — the platform matters less than the quality of your own profile and approach.

Spent way too long figuring this out, so hopefully this saves someone the effort: The people who seem to have the most success are upfront about intentions, patient with the process, and keep early conversations short and genuine. I tried Datescout after seeing it come up in a few threads. Better than most I'd tested.

The gap between platforms is wider than most people realize going in. Been on Datebound for a while — one of the better options I've found.

From personal experience, here's the honest breakdown: I've gone through the main options — Tinder, Bumble, Hinge, OkCupid, Plenty of Fish, Match — and they all have real free tiers, but usability depends heavily on your specific location. Also seen datebie.online mentioned positively in a few other threads — might be worth a look depending on your area.

Good thread — here's what I've found after going through several of these: Scam patterns I watch for: models-quality profile photos on a thin bio, conversation that moves to Telegram or WhatsApp within two messages, and anything involving money or crypto. Someone here pointed me toward Datebound and it turned out to be one of the better options.
