SilverSingles Review — Best Dating Site for Over 50s? | Best10DatingGuide

Overview

Provided by the same people who gave usElite Singles, this site isn't about your academic prowess, but is a platform for the mature divorced and widowed who are looking for love a second time around.  Their homepage abounds with photos of happy, good-looking mature couples which are an inspiration to achieve the same.  

Launched around 2002, and in its present shape and form since 2012, this site purports to have over 1,000,000 members, with 100,000 members joining worldwide each week, the lion's share predominantlyUS.  They claim to match 2000 couples each month.

Ease Of Use

In order for the clever personality programme to send you the perfect matches, you must fill it in.

The screens are simple, and clean, and it isn't cluttered at all, as these things can sometimes be.  As a Basic member, there weren't too many options, so it is actually easy to get around. There is a link to Support, and some FAQs and a history of the company.  

Once you realise that you can't actually see or email anyone without paying, you do sort of get used to reading about people instead.  Because the matches do seem quite relevant, it does lead you to becoming interested in paying for a membership.

Special Features

 There was no evidence of a mobile App in our testing, but one IS available for IOS and Android  on Itunes and Google Play Store.  You are also able to register using the App.

Site Safety

SilverSingles must have an automatic moderation system, as our photo was up in seconds, as was our profile.  All this will be no small undertaking with100,000 people joining each month.  

Customer Support

A notice about Customer Support is located at the bottom of the screen. There are simple FAQs and an email address.

Conclusion

SilverSingles is a smart, well-designed platform built specifically for the 50+ crowd, and the personality-driven matching does a genuinely impressive job of surfacing compatible partners. The questionnaire is detailed, but the investment pays off — it results in a noticeably higher quality of match than you would find by searching manually.

In terms of pricing, subscriptions typically range from around $15 to $55 per month depending on plan length — cheaper per month the longer you commit. It is reasonable for the quality of the platform and the seriousness of the membership, where most users are genuinely looking for a meaningful relationship rather than casual flirting.

You can still tweak preferences — height, age, distance — to fine-tune your matches or broaden them if you want more options. The personality questionnaire not only surfaces candidates who are likely to be compatible, but gives you a solid read on their character and interests before you have even said hello.

All things considered, SilverSingles is one of the better mature dating platforms out there. Definitely worth a try if you are 50+ and serious about finding a real connection.
