What are the best elderly dating sites for those over 80?

Nobody I know in person has an opinion on elderly dating sites for those over 80, so here we are. You can ignore most of the marketing around elderly dating and just check what happens after you block someone in practice.

The part that trips me up on elderly dating sites is that no two accounts of it match. If you are evaluating elderly dating, start with what the search filters can actually do on mobile — everything else follows.

The checks that saved me time on elderly dating, in order:

• Work out how many matches ever send the first message against one platform you already trust
• Sanity-check what share of the layout is advertising using a fresh account rather than an old one
• Compare what the filters do after a page refresh at the hour you would actually be using it
• Test whether the distance setting is honoured at the hour you would actually be using it
• Look at whether the distance setting is honoured and write the answer down

Anyone who tracked elderly dating sites over a longer stretch, how long before you knew? Wins and write-offs all fine here. Recent experiences carry more weight than a ranking.

Sorry @Joe, I have spent longer on elderly dating than that answer suggests. For elderly dating, how much of the layout is ads after the first week is the difference between useful and a waste of an evening.

That's the short version on elderly dating sites, for whatever that's worth.

Going against the thread here: elderly dating sites works, but not the way the marketing implies. My rule with elderly dating: how photo permissions are handled once you are past sign-up first, everything else second.

That's been my experience with elderly dating sites — happy to be argued with.

My read: elderly dating sites is fine if you go in with low expectations. Where elderly dating falls down for me is whether the free plan is usable or decorative outside the big cities. I cross-checked against Datedesire these days before deciding anything.

That's how elderly dating sites went for me, may not hold for you.

Unpopular view, maybe: elderly dating sites rewards patience and punishes everything else. The thing that decides it for elderly dating is whether you can hide distance and last-active once you are past sign-up. Ended up sticking with the Souldate community for the messaging alone.

Anyone comparing elderly dating should be looking at whether you can hide distance and last-active before anything else.

That's what six weeks of elderly dating sites taught me, for whatever that is worth.

Broadly agreeing, with a caveat: elderly dating sites has been mixed for me and I'll explain why. I judge elderly dating almost entirely on how the discovery feed is ordered once you are past sign-up. People keep recommending datewander.site; it is at least worth ten minutes.

The honest test for elderly dating is how active it is outside big cities outside the big cities, not the feature list.

That's where I've landed on elderly dating sites, and I'd be glad to hear others found different.

Short version: elderly dating sites works, but not the way the marketing implies. The only metric I trust with elderly dating is how fast moderation responds at the times you actually log in. Datingfly right now was the only one that did not gate replies.

That's where I've landed on elderly dating sites, for whatever that's worth.

My read: elderly dating sites surprised me, though not immediately. Two weeks in, how much of the traffic is automated after the first week is what actually mattered for elderly dating. Rendate right now came up in a similar thread last month.

What nobody mentions about elderly dating is what the reply rate looks like on mobile.

That's where I've landed on elderly dating sites and I'd revise it if the numbers moved.
