Online dating sites

[Ilovegreentomatoes]

Just curious to know how old you are and what dating site you use? I'm early 40s and I know most are crap anyway but if you did meet someone what site did you use?

Watching this thread for my sister - she is 50. Hope you get some replies!

I'm 35 and my husband is 38, I met my husband on match. I would recommend joining a site with a fee as you know you'll find someone serious looking for something long term! Good luck, dating is fun so enjoy that experience too!

Ourtime but that's for over 50s! I quite liked Hinge and chatted to someone really nice on there for a bit.

I'm late 40s and have used Match and Facebook dating in the last few months. I wouldn't discount free sites as personally I've found Facebook far better in terms of ahem, matches!

Bumble isn't too bad and is free pretty much. I understand Match and Eharmony are good but expensive. I'm early 40s

I liked Hinge

Late 40s. Met him on bumble.

Muddy matches for farmy/countryside type people

Mid 30s met my partner on Tinder.

It makes no difference which dating app you use to be honest. Meeting someone/or in general peasant people is a case of luck/coincidence and timing.

You can never fully guarantee or control someone's reaction/behaviour therefore you never know how a natch/date will pan out ultimately.

Don't get too heavily emotionally invested too quickly as you'll burn out...

*pleasant rather!

I’m 50 and used hinge.

I say used, as I’m a few weeks in now with a lovely man I met on there!

Heard a lot of good things about hinge although the ad for it calls itself the young person's alternative to tinder.
Although 40 somethings on here seem to rate it as well so worth a try.
Currently on Facebook dating but finding it dire.

This!!

I'm 51 and I've been on Match and Tinder for the last 18 months - and previous to that I was on Guardian Soulmates (which closed down and I've struggled to find another one as good). Match is good as there are a lot of filters, but the same 20 profiles have been going around and around for months. Tinder is hit and miss (you have to do your own filtering) but is good for volume of people. But as the above post says - it's largely down to luck and timing.

Mid-40s. Quality of men since slightly better on Hinge but I’m seeing the same faces on Bumble. I do love that Hinge has the option for leaving voice notes - definitely adds an interesting dimension. I haven’t had much success, unfortunately, but I persevere. Keep your expectations low. It’s really exciting when you first start OLDing, and you learn a lot about your boundaries and what things you want/don’t want. Best of luck!
