Do’s

Embrace specificity. If you’re looking for someone who wants to travel the world with you, say so. If you want to sit on the couch watching ESPN all day, say so. There are both kinds of people out there. Don’t say vague stuff like “I’m funny and I want someone to laugh with.” I’ve rarely read a funny bio.

Don’ts

No physical requirements whatsoever. Zero. Zilch. Nada. You’re already going to be exchanging photos, so don’t risk turning the other person off by stating you’ll only date people ten years younger and below (women do this too), slim, etc. (or tall, muscular). This screams superficial.

Definitely! Dating has changed a lot since the outbreak of coronavirus, moving a lot more online than ever before. Single people have never been more reliant on online dating than they are now. Thanks to COVID-19, the days of walking into a crowded bar and easily meeting people seems like an eternity ago.

If you want to find love on dating apps, choosing the right pictures is the first step. There's a difference between how men and women usually view profiles. Women often want to see how someone describes themselves and really connect with what they're saying, while men tend to prioritize photos first.

An online dating profile is still a first impression, so it's better to try to attract the right type of person than to detract the wrong one. So, try to sign up for a site that gives you more space to explain who you are and what you want, then emphasize what that is.

I think so. I’ve been on Bumble for two months now and have met plenty of guys, most of them in their 50s.

Contrary to popular belief, older people do use technology. I actually met one guy in a bar, but I struck up a conversation with him when I saw him swiping on Tinder, which looks very similar. I don’t know the guy’s exact age, but based on his high school graduation year, my guess is that he’s around 60.

I set my age preferences up to 80, and I’ve seen men as old as 75 on the site. Now, 75 is way too old for me (hell, 60 is pushing it, but the 60-year-old is an attractive and interesting person), but it shows that these sites can attract an older user base.

Of course, these men might be the tip of the iceberg, but in a tech-savvy city like Seattle, I don’t think so. Besides, I am not sure how interested I’d be in dating someone who did not know how to use a simple app like Bumble or Tinder. It’s not rocket science, and I prefer to go out with a person who was still open to learning stuff.

Venturing out into the online dating scene is not easy, especially when it comes to creating a dating profile that lets others know who you are.

Photos are one of the best ways to introduce yourself to strangers. People want to see you and get a sense of who you are. So, select a photo that shows your full face, hopefully with a smile.

The more specific you are about who you are and what your interests are, the more likely you’ll attract someone who shares those interests.

Also, elaborating on the kind of partner you’re looking for and the dating experiences you’d like to have can also help prospective dates gauge your compatibility.

Besides, it’s fine to say that you’re excited to meet someone who also wants to find a real and meaningful connection.

It's better than ever that people over 60 are looking for love. With the Internet, you can meet mature singles anywhere in the world! There are many online dating sites for older people to choose from. There are so many online dating sites for seniors to choose from.

Popular dating services for the elderly range from the mainstream, such as Match and eHarmony, to niche sites such as Silver Singles, which specializes in people over 50.

eHarmony is the best dating site for people over 50 because their unique matching technology is based on scientific research. It uses more than 20 compatibility dimensions to narrow down matches -- more than any other online dating site.

You can also try Hookoo. it's a highly advanced dating site for people of all ages. There are a lot of things to love about this site and a lot of reasons for people to choose it over and over again.

Crafting an online dating profile that truly reflects your personality is key, and my friend had a fantastic experience doing just that on Emerald Chat. They found that sharing genuine interests, hobbies, and a bit about their life story created a profile that attracted like-minded individuals. The uniqueness of Emerald Chat's environment, fostering meaningful connections beyond the superficial, allowed my friend to connect with someone who truly appreciated them for who they are. So, when it comes to your online dating profile, don't hesitate to showcase your authenticity, interests, and what makes you stand out.

Less is more. You need 3 clear, well-lit photos. One of face, one full body and one of you doing a hobby you love without other people in the photo.

Then you need a short and sweet profile description written in “manglish” that’s friendly and inviting but clear and precise.

It’s best to describe your life scenario honestly and clearly as in who you live with, are you single or divorced and what you’re looking for. Here are some examples:

“I am a feminine woman originally from the east coast and I still miss fall, living here in Southern California. I am looking for a gentleman to share my life with but I’m not interested in marriage. I am newly divorced and I live alone. My teenagers stay with me 2 nights per week. I work in tech and I like cycling for fun and exercise. Your message gets mine :)”

OR

I am a sport nerd and I love all kinds of physical activities and extreme adventures. I am a feminine woman and looking for a buddy to enjoy an active lifestyle. I don’t have any children and I live alone but my mom visits once a month and stays about a week. I’d like to date a gentleman who’s looking for a relationship that leads to marriage. However I am not in a rush and I do not wish to have children. Your message gets mine :)

OR

I am seeking a gentleman to share my life with in a long term committed relationship that leads to marriage. I don’t have any children and I would like to be a mother of 1 or 2. I am open to men who already have children as long as they are still under age 5. I currently live with my best friend. One of my hobbies is art and wine nights. I also enjoy salsa dancing and movies. Your message gets mine :)

Notice how clear those profiles are. They tell a man everything he needs to know about you. Because you don’t want men who don’t want kids messaging you if you want kids and you don’t want men who want marriage messaging you if you don’t. This kind of profile is also friendly and inviting and and if a man writes, you write back!!! That’s great encouragement for men who are also slogging through trying to find their person.

I hope that helps!

Be clear about what you’re looking for. Are you looking for the love of your life, an indefinite relationship but not necessarily forever, to expand your social circle, a friend with benefits, or just a one-off hookup? Say which of these possibilities you’re open to on your profile; it can save wasting time.

Tell the truth. There’s no point lying about about your hobbies and saying that you’re super into exercise when you’re a couch potato, because then you start dating an exercise freak, and either have to start exercising to keep up and nearly kill yourself, or they’re annoyed to discover that you lied to them. If you don’t exercise but really wish you did, I find that people can find it quite endearing to be brutally honest: “I don’t exercise nearly as much as I would like, so if you’re into fitness, I’d love you to help motivate me to exercise more.” But very few people find deception endearing.

Likewise, lying about your age, relationship status (saying that you’re single when you’re not), level of education, weight, and so on, seems to be common, but is really self-defeating.

People who are interested in the profile you’ve created with false information aren’t attracted to you; they’re attracted to a fake person you’ve created, and you’re hoping their attraction to that fake person will translate to you. But now when they meet you, they’re not only battling the disappointment that you’re older / less educated / actually married / heavier than they had been lead to believe, but they also know that you’re a liar. That’s an uphill battle you’re now fighting!

I can’t help thinking that it would have been much easier to create a positive impression if you’d just shown them who you really are to begin with.

Profile pictures.

1. Have some. Lots of people seem to avoid putting pictures on their profile, I think from the misguided view that they’re afraid of rejection. Not putting any pictures on your profile, or just putting pictures of objects, is the number one mistake I see people making.
   
   Of course people want to know what you look like - you’re virtually guaranteed that everybody is going to just flick past your profile if there are no pictures of you on it. If you put pictures of you on it, sure, you may not be many people’s cup of tea, but you are going to be somebody’s - without pics, nobody knows! Even that somebody whose type you are has no chance of finding you without the pictures being there. If people looking at your profile aren’t interested in you, give them the chance to find out now and reject you without you ever even having to know, rather than having to suffer the hurt of having them reject you to your face.
   
   People are going to reject you - it’s part of the game. Just as you are going to reject others - the vast majority of them! So let them do it in the least painful way possible - without you ever having to even know about it.
2. The absolute best strategy is to put some flattering but realistic pictures of you on your profile. They shouldn’t be of you 20 years ago and looking so incredibly awesome and well made-up that your friends would barely recognise you. None of them should be more than, say, 3 years old. They should all be very recognisably you, so that when the person meets you face-to-face, there’s no surprise.
3. Some should be casual and some more dressed-up, so that people see you in a variety of contexts. Some photos of you engaging in your favourite hobbies, such as sports or cooking or playing a musical instrument, are great to further give an impression of who you are.
4. Don’t only use group pictures of you with your friends - it can be too confusing for viewers trying to sort through a heap of group photos figuring out who the common person is and which one is the person whose profile it is. Use them sparingly, and if there’s any doubt - eg if there are multiple people of broadly similar appearance such as multiple men with dark hair and beards - then crop group pictures to highlight you.
5. Pay attention to backgrounds. It’s astonishing how many people post pictures with horrible backgrounds - messy bedrooms with clothes strewn everywhere, and I’ve even seen a filthy toilet in the background. Ugh! Don’t send the message that you’re a slob - unless that’s the signal you want to send, of course.

Hobbies and interests. List some of the things that you enjoy doing in your spare time. Not things that you dream of doing, but actually do. You could also say that you dream of doing certain things if you want, but make it clear that they’re things you dream of doing, otherwise you’re being misleading again.

Dealbreakers. If you have dealbreakers, such as wanting kids, or smoking, or religious beliefs, then state them, to save both of you time. Make sure they really are dealbreakers, though. If it’s just a strong preference, make that clear, so that you don’t deter Mr/s “Otherwise Perfect” from contacting you.

Inject Your Personality. If you have a sense of humour, then show it in your profile in the way you describe yourself. If you’re a cynic, then use cynical humour describing yourself. If you’re bubbly, be bubbly! And so on. One of my profiles includes this paragraph, which I think probably gives you a feel for me:

‘I don’t do outdoors (maybe if there's awesome WiFi), I don't think motor sports are sports, I prefer not to camp, and I only exercise in the bedroom. I love five star hotels, air-conditioning, intelligent people, social justice, reading and writing, Netflix, and have difficulty turning my brain off.’

Regularly review your profile. Every now and again, review how well your profile seems to be working, and what kinds of responses you’re getting, and tweak it. Maybe you’re finding you’re more compatible with a particular age group, and want to tweak your profile to more specifically target that group. Perhaps you have an exciting new hobby that you want to mention, or a new TV series you’re really into; you never know what things might spark a connection with somebody new.

Hi,

Of Course, there are several dating sites are available for seniors.

Dating at a young age is lots of fun and energy but dating at the age of ’50s, 60’s it is different. Dating is not just for young people but also for senior people. Senior dating is also a lot of fun if you do it right manner, but it will take time to get a good partner for senior people in the olden days. But Present days there are a lot of online senior dating sites are available for senior people.

Most popular and commonly used senior dating sites are

• Senior Match
• Our Time
• eHarmony
• Senior Friends Date
• Silver Singles
• Elite Singles

It’s never too late to choose the best senior dating site to get a partner. I suggest Senior Friends Date because it is a free senior online dating site.

Hope this information is useful,

Thanks.

Not a damned thing. I don’t believe in online dating. Usually this is how it goes, “I like eating out, going to movies (who doesn’t?) love dogs, looking to be friends first.” Or the classic line some men use, “I like candlelit dinners, soft music, slow dancing, long walks on the beach, and cuddling.” Yeah, right. Unless there are a lot of candles, you can’t see what you are eating or maybe you haven’t paid the electric bill. Long walks on the beach? In Harrisburg? No beaches here Roscoe. And cuddling means SEX.

I’ve seen worse - man looking for woman, between ages 18 and 45. Really? That’s a stretch. “Queen sized woman with dirty blond hair who likes to travel.” Why is the hair dirty? I always wondered about that.

I never had a problem with meeting men in real life, on my time, on my schedule. Look up from your device; they are all around you.

Choose profile photos that are an honest illustration of what you look like, but also flattering. Make sure they aren't revealing or risqué.

Keep information like your ultimate call, organization, or neighborhood indistinct or non-public to guard your identification. Don't post your complete call or too many other identifying information.

In your bio, say a few precise matters that spark communication and show your personality, humorousness, values and hobbies. But do not overshare an excessive amount of private information.

If the app lets in, complete identification verification steps to assist affirm you are actual and construct consider.

Be precise about the type of man or woman and relationship you hope to attract on-line. This helps set expectations.

Trust your instincts when speaking to fits. Don't sense forced to meet up before you are geared up or cushty. Meet in public first.

Take things slowly and if some thing seems unusual, regarding or rushed, block that man or woman. Prioritize your protection first.

Tell buddies/own family whilst you are taking place a first date and proportion the vicinity/information with them. Check in with them afterwards.

Have a laugh with it! Building connections takes time. Don't get discouraged. Be open but awareness on excellent over quantity of suits.

The secret is portraying your proper self at the same time as also protecting your privacy until you sincerely get to understand someone. Following protection precautions helps ensure nice stories.

1. Find the right site(s) that work for you. Trying to meet someone on Tinder probably won’t work. Try Ourtime, Plenty of Fish, Silver Singles and or Match.
2. Have nice photos. At least one that shows your face and one that shows your full body. Think about having a pro take photos.
3. Don’t limit yourself any more than you have to. Profiles that have long lists of people who should not respond. I am sort of turned off by profiles that go:, no one over 20 miles, college graduates only, no one shorter than 6 feet, no smokers, no one who voted for Trump, etc, etc, They strike me as someone who would be a PITA.
4. Be active in contacting people you might be interested in.
5. Spell check your profile info. Typo’s can make you seem stupid. A well written profile can help a lot.

A couple of years ago I saw a headline on MSN that read something like “12 tips for great success on dating sites. I thought oh, great I may get some good ideas. It was the stupidest thing I ever saw and would do more harm that good, They went something like 1. Lie about your age, 2, Photoshop your photos or use old photos. 3 Lie about your income. 4. Lie about your education. I think that is terrible advice. It may get you some first dates you would not get otherwise but the real you will prevail and you will just end up wasting time and disappointing yourself and the person you meet. Being hones pays.
