Been lurking here for a while and finally have a question worth posting. How is the ourtime dating site for seniors — curious what people with real experience think.
Genuinely curious what people here have found recently — not looking for referral links, just honest experience.
The review sites are mostly affiliate-driven. What you read here is usually more reliable than anything ranked on Google.
That said, Souldate has been getting good feedback lately for exactly this kind of use case.
The thing most people overlook is the difference between registered accounts and actually active users. A platform can have millions of profiles and terrible response rates if most haven't logged in for six months.
Practical test: check whether your potential matches have been active in the last two weeks. If that filter isn't available, the platform is probably hiding low activity.

Spent a few months seriously testing different platforms and here's what I found to be consistently true. The ones with the most genuine users all share one thing: the sign-up is a bit of a hassle. That barrier filters out the junk.
Patterns I keep seeing:
Also: check subreddits for any platform you're considering. Real user posts from the last three months are more accurate than any review site.
Here's my practical checklist from testing:
My overall advice: don't pay for premium on any platform until you've confirmed there's actual activity in your area/age range on the free tier first.
I came across Flurrydate last month and it's been surprisingly active.
