Dating sites for older singles in 2019?

naufragos123

Hi all. My question is in the thread title. There are so many scams on the Internet that I thought I'd ask here first. When I was last single about 6 years ago it was Another Friend.com or Plenty of Fish.com or Match.com. Is it still the same or are there good new sites? Thanks in advance.

I used to be on match ages ago. There's plenty of local women on there.

Don't use Tinder. It's crap.

If you're looking for a foreign woman there's a few good ones....asiandating is the best action.


Sorry I am assuming you are a man.

Wrong I'm afraid. I'm female. And not that interested in foreigners, by that I mean, not romantically but thanks.

There's elite singles, who promise to cut out the time wasters if memory serves me correctly.

I always get the impression from their TV ads that it would be a good place to meet Patrick Bateman.

What's a womans definition of a time waster in your mid-50s?
Would've thought that would be more relevant to women in their late 30's who left things too late.

What is wrong with Elite? Are they legit?

There are ads all over the place for sites called b2 and Singles50 but interestingly they seem to be one and the same. Their reviews are dire with people in several languages accusing them of scamming, fake profiles etc so obviously to be avoided.

Do people know if AnotherFriend and PlentyofFish are still popular. They were all the rage 10 years ago. Or is there a newer version?

The last thing any one would want is to give their credit card details to a bunch of scammers.

Forget about dating sites. Meetup.com is where it's at these days - https://www.meetup.com/

Elite singles are legit.

The quality of people were not great for the price paid - I think it works out about 125 per introduction.

The ad for singles 50 on facebook are hilarious. One is a guy about 70 with an ear ring and a pink baseball cap on back to front mauling a woman. If I went on a date and he showed up, I'd not be best impressed.

Just looking at internet dating is the most depressing thing..every so often I fire up the profile, even put up a picture the last time.. last about two days, and resign myself to solitude..

Apart from Elite,can anyone recommend good sites please?

Pof is probably alright is it?..if you can ignore the bots..(every message from a name with a string of numbers after it).. good luck anyway.. hope you find love..

I know, but the whole a) messaging random women on the internet, b) judging them on pictures, c) filters, camera angles d) just carpet bombing every half decent looking woman within 80km with a message in the hope a couple reply and e) doing this all simultaneously..

This is not how people fall in love.. you fall in love with one person at a time..if you've two more in reserve, I dunno..I just think it's sad really..I kind of think love might end up being a thing of the past..

Or maybe it's just me, and I'm just a negative miserable bastard..(this is a distinct possibility..)

anewme

Ha ha, there was an ad on the radio ...would you rather put your feet up and surf your social media, do your grocery shop, watch Netflix....OR be out with a new someone....

I picked A so i must be a lost cause too

You're right but I guess we have to put ourselves out there a bit and try. It is needle in a haystack stuff but then the odd time you do find a needle in a haystack.:D
