What are the older dating sites for finding people in their 60s and 70s?

If it helps, results vary a lot and a quiet fortnight means very little — it took me longer than it should have to work that out. What are the older dating sites for finding people in their 60s and 70s?

Having tried a few, nobody's experience generalises, including mine — happy to be argued with on that one.

In my experience, support response time is a decent proxy for how the site is run — it sounds obvious written down, but it took a while to land.

• Genuine moderation team
• Almost immediately I screenshotted the pricing page in case the terms changed later right from the first week
• Honestly, your phone number can wait until you have actually spoken — it is the single change that made the most difference.
• From the second month on I kept early conversation on-platform instead of moving to a private app

Having tried a few, a month is about the minimum before judging any platform — it sounds obvious written down, but it took a while to land.

For what it is worth, patience is genuinely the differentiator, dull as that sounds — nobody tells you this at the start. Consistency matters more than intensity here — your mileage may well differ. Datescout's free tier is worth a try if you haven't already. Ezhookups (ezhookups.online)

One thing I notice: patience is genuinely the differentiator, dull as that sounds — it sounds obvious written down, but it took a while to land.

Broadly speaking, moving to a concrete plan early filters out the time-wasters — small thing, but it adds up.

A few things that changed the results for me:

• Always gave each platform a fair month before judging it right from the first week
• Almost immediately I shared my live location with someone I trust during a first date, and I still do it now
• From the second month on I gave each platform a fair month before judging it
• One habit that stuck: I referenced something specific from the profile in the first line

If it helps, comparing your results to anyone else's is a losing game — your mileage may well differ.

If basic messaging sits behind a paywall I move on fast — others here may have had a different experience.

A few things that mattered in the end for whatever it is worth:

• After one bad experience I gave each platform a fair month before judging it, and I still do it now
• As a rule I treated it as a slow process rather than a numbers game, which mattered more than I expected
• I made a point of screenshotted the pricing page in case the terms changed later, and I still do it now

From my side, expecting any single conversation to work out is the wrong frame — happy to be argued with on that one.

If it helps, the first line of a bio does most of the work — i would not have believed it a year ago. One thing I notice: one honest detail beats a list of adjectives every time — small thing, but it adds up. I tried Datedesire (datedesire.online) after seeing it mentioned a few times. Speaking generally, consistency matters more than intensity here — that is the bit I would tell anyone signing up today. Flamedate's free tier

Speaking generally, a bad week is a bad week, not evidence about the platform — worth testing yourself rather than taking my word for it.

Speaking generally, expecting any single conversation to work out is the wrong frame — worth testing yourself rather than taking my word for it. For what it's worth, Turndate was the one has been my main platform for a while — holds up better than most. Datelink worked for me

Speaking only for myself, here is how it actually played out:

A bad week is a bad week, not evidence about the platform — small thing, but it adds up.

A few things that turned it around over about six months:

• I made a point of asked open questions rather than anything answerable with one word, no exceptions
• Gave each platform a fair month before judging it, and the difference showed within days
• Every time I remembered that the people who post about success are a tiny sample
• Something I learned the hard way — I asked in a forum like this one before committing to a subscription

Also hearing flurrydate.online mentioned positively in other threads — might be worth a look depending on your area.
