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 offerSouth Devon, Kingsbridge0 -
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.

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.South Devon, Kingsbridge0 -
