Single Seniors Meet Review

In recent times, online dating has seen the emergence of niche dating websites. These sites cater to the relationship needs of specific segments of the population which may be differentiated by culture, religion, sexuality, age and several such categories. Single Seniors Meet is an example of an age-based dating portal which is fast becoming popular in the seniors community.

Single Seniors Meet is a personals site where mature singles can look for partners for a variety of purposes – for companionship, dating or even a committed relationship like marriage. Here men and women in the later age groups like fifties, sixties and seventies and who may be divorced, widowed or never married can look for like-minded partners in order to have an active social life. Though the website appears to be mainly directed towards residents of United States and Canada, users from any location in the world can join to be part of this active online community for seniors. Keeping in mind the target users and purpose of this site, no adult content is allowed – either in terms of text-based or visual content. Finally, only straight relationships are encouraged at Single Seniors Meet and those seniors looking for same-sex love may need to explore other sites.

TIP: We recommend SeniorPeopleMeet , a site that focusses on 45 plus singles. You can also sign up with Senior Friend Finder, part of the Friend Finder network which has millions of members.

In order to make senior singles comfortable with the site, Single Seniors Meet has a very simple registration process. All you need to do is click on the “Free to Browse” link that appears on the homepage and the site will launch a series of multiple choice questions where you simply need to click on the correct answer. The questions ask you about your gender, physical appearance like height, body type, eye and hair color as well as background like religion, ethnicity, marital status, education and occupation, if still employed. Finally you need to submit essential personal details like date of birth, full name, geographical location, your email address and a unique username by which you will be known on the site. Once you are registered you can log in to create your very own dating profile. This could be as simple or detailed as you like. You can either finish off with a short self-description and a caption or write several mini-essays on various topics relating to you, your expectations from a partner and your priorities in life. The last step consists of uploading your photos and as soon as they are approved, you can start browsing for prospective matches.

At Single Seniors Meet, you can make use of a variety of viewing, searching and communication options to meet the kind of people they want. Viewing of profiles, photos, photo galleries and message boards is open to all. You can also see read messages that other members may have sent you. This is a significant plus point at Single Seniors Meet since most dating sites require you to become a paid member in order to send as well as read messages. Apart from these you can also see which profiles have viewed you.

While browsing for profiles you can conduct basic searches by gender, age, location and members who are online. On the other hand, advanced searching will bring up matches by username, marital status, education, occupation, physical criteria or any other part of the profile. Other than these, you can also search by new members, Profile of the week, recently updated profiles and by photos.

Once you have found a match you would like to know better, you would probably need to subscribe to a membership plan since communication options are open only to paid members. Once you become one, you can send mail, messages as well as chat in real time with anyone on the site. However free members can still send ‘smiles’, ‘winks’ or e-cards in order to reach out to another member.

Like other dating sites which are part of the Sparks Network, Single Seniors Meet also has a couple of compatibility tools. If you want to use the Ideal Matching System, you need to set your match preferences in categories like age range, distance from your location, education, body types, religion, ethnicity and so on. At the same time you also need to specify the relative importance of each of the above categories in your ideal partner and when matching occurs over a given percentage, the site will send you the profiles to your inbox.

The other matchmaking feature is even more interesting since it doubles up as a personality profile. By taking a test, you can determine your personality type according to certain color codes and in the process be able to choose partners whose motivations are compatible to yours.

As soon as you sign up with Single Seniors Meet you are already a guest member. This is free and allows you to create a profile, post photos as well as browse for other profiles. Best of all you can retain your guest membership as long as you want and upgrade only when you want to.

Paid membership at Single Seniors Meet starts at $9.99 for one month with options for quarterly and half-yearly plans too. These rates are quite economical and thus suit the senior members just fine. Also the website allows you a choice of payment by debit or credit cards or by PayPal.
