I met my wife on POF, however that was 8 years ago, so no idea what it's like on there now.

I'm 60 now but live in a small south west village but have never had any likes on any app or web page, after watching a dating video on youtube it seems the adds for men of a certain age unless your fit and good looking is pretty much 0 chance, 
looks like its just me and my little dog Titch shame really as I feel I have a lot to offer

I met my partner years ago through a mutual friend, but I did try a few dating apps along the way. POF was pretty popular back then too, though I can’t say much about how it is now.

 I met my husband through Facebook. We both turned up at an event that was posted on there

I don't mean to be invasive, but how old are you and what are you looking for?

Different sites/platforms generally appeal to different demographics:

A 20 year old will probably struggle to find someone on eHarmony.
A 60 year old will probably struggle to find someone on Tinder.

Please be aware that dating sites are breeding grounds for scammers, if you're of the 'less tech-savvy' generation, be on high alert and don't send money to people you've never met FOR ANY REASON (honestly, you'd be suprised how common this is).

Please also be aware that the majority of dating sites are primarily focused on looks. Generally if you are not 'very good looking' (and god forbid male), you probably won't have a good time and any insecurities will go into overdrive.

My god you are so right i,m 60 year old male with just average/maybe bit below looks, few extra pounds and have fibromyalgia , I dont think I would have any chance, been single 1 year before covid and tried dating sites but after researching (I'm a computer engineer)   I have found that my chances being male as well are near on next to nothing, and the time old saying the right one will come alone wont happen, trust me not at 60, i,m now doing more research on living with no companionship and little friends.

Why not join a social group, maybe a reading club or walking/rambling?

Interesting that the OP never came back and replied, not surprised dating apps are a challenge....
