Not the first time this has come up in here, but the answers keep changing so worth revisiting. What are the best dating websites and apps for seniors — genuinely curious what people with recent experience think.
Also been seeing Ezhookups.online pop up in discussions around this. Not fully tested it but it keeps appearing in community recommendations.
Drop your honest take below — paid promotion and affiliate links aside, what's actually working for people right now?
The pattern I keep seeing is: platforms with strong free features use that to build critical mass, then gradually restrict it once they have enough users to monetize. It's a predictable cycle.

Did a pretty thorough comparison run a few months back. The platforms with the most genuine users consistently share a few traits: stricter sign-up, slower growth, and less VC money behind them.
A few things I look for now:
