What would you say the best app for someone in their mid 50’s is?

And do I need to put a picture up? I really don’t want to because of what I do for work. Thank you

I love Tinder. I’m professional and was concerned about putting up a photo, but so long as your profile is clean (don’t use the word ‘fun’ AT ALL) there’s nothing to be worried about

What are you looking for? IME tinder is for hook ups, people in their early teens and people who are not serious about dating/meeting someone. I think Bumble is similarly had. I'd use a proper dating websites, like Match or Plenty of Fish. Steer clear of free apps, and yes of course you need to put a picture up! Go for it

I'm early 50s and I've been on Match for a while now and have found it a bit rubbish. Initially, I thought it was better than POF but I've changed my mind. I've found it dull and all the winking and favouriting gets on my tits, and seems to mean fuck all. I'm about to try Guardian Soulmates, which a few friends of mine in their 50s have rated.

OP, there is a thread for on--line daters here : -
