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.

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 superficia

Greetings, Hillary [ https://www.quora.com/profile/Hillary-504 ]! Back with another sockpuppet to spam the scam dating site “Dateglows” again, I see!
This dude is a persistent pest, creating sockpuppets to spam the scam dating site Dateglows like crazy. The objective isn’t to get Quora users to go there; instead, it’s to flood Google with results for “dating” and “Dateglows,” since Google ranks Quora content quite highly.
So if you’d like to help keep this from happening, when you see questions like this, feel free to write answers describing what a scam fake dating sites like Dateglows are.
That makes Google work against the spammer, because it means Dateglows appears in Google searches next to words like fake, scam, spam, phony, ripoff, fake profiles, worthless, and swindle.
So when people do a Google search for things like what are the best senior dating sites, they’ll find search results like “Dateglows is a scam dating site run by a spammer, so if you’re looking for a legitimate senior dating site...
Dating after 52 (now 56) has been interesting but not surprising. When I was young I saw guys my age now with women in their early 20s. Those relationships didnt last long but looked like they were worth it while they lasted. My own experiences are not how I see the rest of the world, but there's probably others who experience similar.
I spent 2 years with a 10 year younger who I would describe as culturally millenial although born on the cusp of X generation. Its a small age gap, but her music and all other media was definately younger, so “have you seen [film name]?” was often a wasted questi

I spent 2 years with a 10 year younger who I would describe as culturally millenial although born on the cusp of X generation. Its a small age gap, but her music and all other media was definately younger, so “have you seen [film name]?” was often a wasted question. It didnt put me off wide or even age gaps, her cheating did. Moving on.
I have a friend my age who is a widow of a 30 year abusive marriage, had a hyterectomy and so horny shes catching up on decades of crap sex with a thirty something, also abusive. She offered herself to me, but nah! We have alot in common culturally but Im not an alcoholic or drinker.
The dating apps are full of “youve got to be kidding, yuck!” and beautiful east asian women needing visas. I did meet and do some dates with a late forties woman but her over exercising approach to avoiding another mastectomy was too much. She never stops, riding, running, gym, exhausting. And liked alcohol.
The town I live in has more 20 something single women than any other and very few suitable young men. Many men in their 50s here are doing well and many are already with women half their age. And the young dont drink as much as we did.
None.
In general, dating websites are the WORST places to look for connection, at any age.
I can, however, give you my best advice about what to do and where to meet the best, most compatible people, acquaintances, friends and potential lovers at any age.
- Volunteer somewhere worthwhile - hospital, soup kitchen, old age home, animal shelter, mentoring someone, or somewhere else you can make a difference. It will help others and make you feel good about yourself.
- Expand your social, political nd educational circles. Meet new people and share your time and energies for causes you believe in and peopl

- Volunteer somewhere worthwhile - hospital, soup kitchen, old age home, animal shelter, mentoring someone, or somewhere else you can make a difference. It will help others and make you feel good about yourself.
- Expand your social, political nd educational circles. Meet new people and share your time and energies for causes you believe in and people you like. Remove negative people and experiences from your life.
- Join a religious or spiritual center. You don’t even have to believe in God to do so, just in ethical, moral behavior and the basic goodness of human nature.
- Don't always look for the easy way out.
- Find new interests, dreams and goals. Your choices should make you happy, even passionate. Life is meant to be joyful, suffering only endured when absolutely necessary.
- Adopt a pet, a dog, cat, rabbit, ferret, or if you prefer, a lizard, snake, or other living creature. Being responsible for another life, and the love and commitment that brings, can be life enhancing, but you must make a continuing commitment to that pet, no matter how you feel.
- Enjoy the outdoors with hikes or nature walks. Join a sports club and play with and against others - pickle ball, tennis, basketball, softball, anything you are capable and would enjoy doing.
- Exercise strenuously daily. It will release endorphins, stimulate your heart and lungs, and give you energy and impetus to do more with your life.
- Take classes in real classrooms - art, pottery, cooking, philosophy, psychology. You will be pursuing your creative and intellectual growth.
- Appreciate waking up every morning. Treasure every moment because non one, young or old, is promised another. Be thankful for not just the big things, but the small things in your life.
Where do I start?
I’m a huge financial nerd, and have spent an embarrassing amount of time talking to people about their money habits.
Here are the biggest mistakes people are making and how to fix them:
Not having a separate high interest savings account
Having a separate account allows you to see the results of all your hard work and keep your money separate so you're less tempted to spend it.
Plus with rates above 5.00%, the interest you can earn compared to most banks really adds up.

Overpaying on car insurance
You’ve heard it a million times before, but the average American family still overspends by $417/year on car insurance.
If you’ve been with the same insurer for years, chances are you are one of them.

That’s it. You’ll likely be saving a bunch of money. Here’s a link to give it a try.
Consistently being in debt
If you’ve got $10K+ in debt (credit cards…medical bills…anything really) you could use a debt relief program and potentially reduce by over 20%.
Here’s how to see if you qualify:
Head over to this Debt Relief comparison website here, then simply answer the questions to see if you qualify.
It’s as simple as that. You’ll likely end up paying less than you owed before and you could be debt free in as little as 2 years.
Missing out on free money to invest
It’s no secret that millionaires love investing, but for the rest of us, it can seem out of reach.
Times have changed. There are a number of investing platforms that will give you a bonus to open an account and get started. All you have to do is open the account and invest at least $25, and you could get up to $1000 in bonus.
Pretty sweet deal right? Here is a link to some of the best options.
Having bad credit
A low credit score can come back to bite you in so many ways in the future.
From that next rental application to getting approved for any type of loan or credit card, if you have a bad history with credit, the good news is you can fix it.
Head over to BankRate.com and answer a few questions to see if you qualify. It only takes a few minutes and could save you from a major upset down the line.
How to get started
Hope this helps! Here are the links to get started:

Messaging Ask something specific about her profile. Translation: Show that you actually read her bio. Spellcheck. And no sexual innuendos, ever, ever, ever.
Pictures Limit selfies. Absolutely zero mirror selfies. No shirt off unless you are at the beach and even then, it is iffy. Show pictures with family. Don’t post a picture with a friend that is way more attractive than you.

I dug up my old dating bio:
“I am getting better at cooking, although I have shared a meal or two with the local fire department. Oops :/
I'm man enough to admit I get nervous on takeoff sometimes, and by sometimes I mean every time. I’m a big fan of dogs, golden retrievers especially, chihuahuas in dresses, not-especially.

Among all these dating sites I’ve used, XFun is the best one for free online dating, so I’ll take it as an example, it has :
LARGE member base of both serious and casual daters
Advanced algorithm and compatibility matching system
Lots of positive reviews and success stories
Detailed member profiles
Less fake profiles, scammers and rots
I’ve seen dating apps that suggest date ideas, outings, and things of that nature to get two people together. Personally my answer to your question is no where near this. I believe dating apps/websites need restraint. You read right, restraint.
With so many guys playing the numbers game and so many women sick of being harassed by guys, I’m a firm believer that users should be restricted to a certain number of NEW conversations per day. Limit the user to reaching out to 5 potential matched per day. When a potential match replies, the user is able to communicate with the potential match as much a
I’ve seen dating apps that suggest date ideas, outings, and things of that nature to get two people together. Personally my answer to your question is no where near this. I believe dating apps/websites need restraint. You read right, restraint.
With so many guys playing the numbers game and so many women sick of being harassed by guys, I’m a firm believer that users should be restricted to a certain number of NEW conversations per day. Limit the user to reaching out to 5 potential matched per day. When a potential match replies, the user is able to communicate with the potential match as much as he/she desires. If the potential match doesn’t respond, the user can reach out again, but it will count against his daily allotment of new conversations for that day.
This will quickly lower women being bombarded with harassing and horny messages and force users to pay attention to more than someone’s profile picture before reaching out. This also means that users will have to make appetizing bios to gain the attention of potential matches. But this will minimize the number of “I’m writing you because I though you looked hott in your picture” type messages and open the door for more “I noticed in your profile you mentioned that you enjoy kayaking” type opening conversations. Along side that, this will also open the door for more genuine connections and communication. Meaning that more men would have a higher chance at finding a potential match and women wouldn’t have to weed though as much crap to find a guy they click with well.
But of course, this is just me thinking out loud.
A good dating site should prioritize user safety with robust privacy features and verification processes to prevent fake profiles. It must offer an intuitive, user-friendly interface that makes browsing and communication seamless. Matching algorithms should be based on compatibility, using detailed profiles or interests for more meaningful connections. Communication tools, such as messaging or video calls, should be private and secure. Lastly, a diverse and active user base ensures more chances to meet compatible individuals, along with responsive customer support for any issues.
I got curious one night, and I did Google myself. All the search results I found were wrong, except for this 1 site that had EVERYTHING about me.
When I typed my name into TruthFinder, it was a completely different story! It showed my social media accounts, contact details and more - and it was all accurate!
I was SHOCKED how much of my information came up! I can't say I loved it either :-/
I did see a few other sites doing something similar, but TruthFinder was the easiest and gave the most accurate information. I was able to search for nearly anyone in the United States by name, phone number, a

- Age and DOB
- Arrest Records
- Dating Profiles, Social Media, & More!
Who knew the deep web had so much for anyone to see!?!?

To find a specific person on dating sites, you can use SwindlerBuster Dating Image Search. Simply upload a picture of the person you're looking for, and it will search across various dating sites and apps to find if they have a profile.
It works well!

To find compatible dates on dating sites, consider shared interests, communication style, relationship goals, profile authenticity, engagement frequency, and platform safety and security features to ensure a positive experience.
I have two older girlfriends over 50 (both married btw) who swear by Tinder. They are in open marriages, and they’re just looking for dating/hook ups, no relationships. Apparently the older hot MILFs are in very high demand these days! They are always telling me that they get so much attention, and guys in their early twenties are always telling them that they’re searching for women over 45. Both of these girls are fit, attractive, and outgoing. And I think they get more attention on Tinder than I do! LOL
What do I want?
Find the love of my life who would love me back in one click.
On a more serious note, I want to see an enforced standard on member photos and very strict elimination of fake profiles.
Multiple photos of users and verified by the site.
Also would be nice to have a brief intro for past relations.
I am sure there are hundreds of testimonies of people meeting, falling in love, and living 'happily every after' as the result of meeting on an online dating site.
I am one of those people.
Some sites seem to handle their programs to the better benefit than others. However, online dating is like any other tool. Understanding how it works, what it is designed to do, and how to use it to the best benefit of your purposes is up to you.
I don't usually kill a spider on my tile floor with a sledge hammer without expecting some repercussions.
Common sense goes a long way.
Good geolocation I’m not interested in someone 200 miles away
Useable free basic level of service (there are plenty of ways to make money, advertizing and extra features).
Almost(1) every service I’ve tested which requires you to subscribe to see messages fail the hollow man test.
Post a male profile without a photo or text, if you get any messages these are either
- fraudulent intended to hook you into subscribing
- ‘icebreakers’ ie they allow users to automatically send a message to anyone new user in their area, this indicates a more thoughtful and technically legal fraud.
- ‘Fantasy Cuties’ (fake prof

This is so universal, if I find a site that makes me pay to see messages it’s an autodelete.
(1) Match.com is legit but sucks in so many other ways, displaying ads to subscribers for a start
- Instant Chat option
- Pictures sharing option
- A good GPS system integration
- Good search filters
- Plenty of space to write about oneself.
fine…. if a few dont have to work on Monday
Pro is they’re low effort. Con is they’re a waste of time for average looking guys and they don’t work for them. Dating websites and apps are driven by looks so there is no way to determine compatibility with a dating app. There are said to be algorithms that match people up with like interests on some of these apps but that’s all pretty worthless as it’s the pictures people care about.
Dateglows has many features that make it stand out. Fake profiles, spam advertising and taking money from gullible people are just some of them.
MillionairesChat is a great choice, allowing you to communicate in a safe, comfortable, and friendly environment, speak your mind, and ultimately find your true partner.
The best dating sites for individuals over 50 are OurTime and SilverSingles.
I don’t know that there is a good dating site for people over 60. The two that target that age group are OurTime and Silver Singles. I haven’t tried Silver Singles but have tried OurTime. It’s ok, but not great. I do think they have a computer that generates many of the views, messages and likes. So many seem to come from people thousands of miles away whose profile indicates they only want to meet someone close. I do think OurTime is a bit better than Silver Singles.
I have also tried PlentyOfFish. My results on POF are about the same as OurTime. I would say mediocre.
One I have not tried that

One I have not tried that I have had some good reports about is Match. I have just had some comments from a few of the women I have communicated with that they did meet someone they are happy with on Match. I don’t find it easy to meet someone you really like on a dating site but it can be done.
I would say trying a site or two is worth it but don’t just rely on dating sites. Be active and get out there and meet people. You may have luck volunteering or you may find someone at church. There could be someone at a Sr. Center that you like. Talk to your friends. Put yourself out there.
Another option that might be worth trying is Meetup. It is not a dating site but more of an activity site. It does however give you the opportunity to meet a lot of new people and even if you don’t meet someone special you can make many new friends and do some fun things.
I do have days that I think it would be better to get a couple of dogs for company and sign up for a lot of premium movie channels. Dogs always love you. I wish you the best of luck.
For the over 50 crowd, Dateglows stands out with its user-friendly interface, robust privacy controls, tailored matching algorithms, and a vibrant community focused on genuine connections.
As many of you know, your 40’s are prime time for divorce. Also everyone knows that the sure fore way to get back at the spouse you despise is going onto something like JustPoundMe . c o m and finding someone to do exactly what the name says.
So yeah, places like JPM are the perfect setups for men and women in their 40’s. So have at it, go get that revenge!
Move away from dating look at group interaction and networking type of events opposed to dating. Helping people find others with common interests, events, cooking classes, etc.
I honestly do not like the dating space. It is dominated by IAC which owns OkCupid, Match, and Chemistry.

Be careful. Do not spend your money on any dating sites especially for gifts to the person you're talking to. For example, in Dating.com I spoke to Valentino. He wanted gifts and many were in the 1000s of dollars. Also, being a Member he gets money from pics and videos I click on that he downloaded. I found out he was in Amolatina and Hotti…sister sites. The real guy behind this all came out. He was a blond whereas the profile photos and videos are of a dark hair and eye of a guy. If you can't verify online the person…that is when given a name and last name do not proceed. You may be catfished
