SeniorDatingGroup.com – A “Mini” Review.
You are no doubt aware that there are numerous online dating sites available for seniors. And, while the SeniorDatingGroup.com is good example of such sites designed specifically for people aged 50+ to meet and date people of the same generation, it may not be unique. But, what makes it stand out somewhat is because of it’s simplicity!
The Senior Dating Group is representative of the type of mature age dating sites now available to the older generation and it provides potential senior daters with a simple and secure way to meet others of similar age and experience.
This dating website for older men and women started off in the U.K. and has now branched out to include several other countries, including the large senior dating sector in the United States.
Their advertising states that the site is…
“…for those of us who are young enough to want to meet new people and rediscover the joy of romance yet old enough to have the wisdom to grasp the modern technology to achieve it.”
What Does The Senior Dating Group Offer It’s Members?
The Senior Dating Group is free to join on a limited basis but also provides upgraded services for members who pay a monthly or yearly charge.
When you join up, you have to give your real name and email address. They don’t accept nicknames. Then, just like other online dating sites, you’ll be asked to supply other personal information which is kept private and not displayed to the public. For example, you’ll also be asked for your zip code so that you can calculate your distance to other members.
During the registration process you can choose your characteristics such as hair and eye color from a drop down menu as well as highlighting a wide variety of interests and hobbies. You’re free to make this list as long or as want, or you can opt to make it detailed and specific.
The Senior Dating Group also asks you to write up a self description. This is a step that needs to be done seriously. Your online dating profile enables possible dates to get an idea of the “real you”, something that can’t really be captured by looking at simple check boxes.
Be aware though, your dating profile needs to short and sweet, yet suitably descriptive, because you’re limited to around 100 to 150 words. Don’t worry, you can find both free and paid professional services both online and off that can help you with this task.
The website also strongly recommends adding a photograph to your profile. That’s due to the fact that daters with photos receive up to 20 times as many contacts from other members than those who don’t! Obviously, the people who you eventually go out with will find out what you look like anyway, so putting your photo on your profile works to your advantage.
Free Or Paid Membership?
The free service to Senior Dating Group lets you receive messages from other members and to browse the online profiles of potential connections. However, to be able to send messages to other members, you’ll have to upgrade to full membership which, at the time of writing this short review of the dating site, ranges from $19.95 per month to $99.95 for a year.
As a fully paid up member you can send and receive private messages, use all of the search functions and keep an online diary to record all your dating experiences. Considering the present economic situation, this appears to be a very reasonable fee when you take into account the possible ultimate rewards of finding friendship, companionship or even a romantic relationship can provide for you.
As was said at the beginning of this post, while there may be comparable online dating sites for the older generation to choose from, the Senior Dating Group provides good value for money and selection of services plus it’s simple to use. Do yourself a favor and at least check it out.
