There are a few for older folks. Of course it's for all ranges of relationships.
You can specify what you want, the same as other sites.
One is SeniorPeopleMeet.

Why all the judgments? People are different, simple as that.

Also, plenty of people don't NEED dating sites/apps, it's just in addition to the other avenues they're using.

I really don't get why this is such a different concept for people to understand. Tinder/OKC/etc. are supplements to dating, it's one way to date, not the only way to date. These apps/sites give you access to potentially meet people you'll probably never even see, especially if you live in a big city.

Before I moved to a different part of Houston last November, my current girlfriend and the lady I dated before her lived in apartment complexes that were literally less than 3 minutes from me, but I would've never met or seen them otherwise if it wasn't for Hinge (current gf) and Tinder.


Like seriously. It. Is. Not. That. Difficult. To. Understand.

Oh wait, that explains it.

I'm from Boston, moving to NYC soon so changed all my locations to NYC recently. So far, the only dating apps I use are OKC and CMB. OKC is good with their algorithms but.. not much guys on there that I was attracted to (I'm only into cute, educated Asian guys ever 5'8 ha ha ha). But so far, CMB win hands down for me in terms of matches (they are more serious on there..) and I'm looking for something long-term, not just a fling. Currently talking to 2 cute guys on there and have seen a few other profiles that caught my eyes.. just haven't matched up. Fyi, age range I'm looking at is 28-35.

^ Yup.

I was never a fan of dating apps.. even with OKC I was just bombarded with creeps, and the ONE or TWO guys I ever connected with were only looking for flings it seemed.

Then I saw CMB where it was featured on Shark Tank and Mark Cuban offered like 35 mil for the app so I got curious.. it was founded by 3 Asian girls from Harvard if I remember correctly. It's definitely very slow paced.. usually only 1 match per day but I somehow been getting 5 bonus matches per day, probably because I just changed my location to NYC.
Anyways, as slow as it is, I very much enjoy it, the pool is SO much better and way more filtered. Most guys on there i haven't even seen on OKC and many guys I was matched with went to Harvard, Yale, NYU, etc. (Just mentioning that to show the quality of pool).
Also, none of the guys have ever been creepy on there.
It's not for everyone because it might be TOO slow paced but so far, I'm happy due to my matches. These guys are cute, educated, and I doubt I'd be able to meet them as easily since moving to a new city!

Just my 2 cents.

I think it's safe to say all dating sites suck.

I'm not sure on this......... As I've known people do well out of it

I've only ever done real life but I'm awful at taking a good picture so....... When it comes to my personality and sense of humour they wouldn't come that close as in real life LOL.

I might try it one day just to see what all the fuss is about
