Everything I find about dating sites for over 60s for finding travel companions is either years old or written by the platform itself.

What worries me most is whether it gets out of your way. Whether it leads anywhere matters more for dating sites than any feature list.

If you have tried dating sites for over 60s for finding travel companions recently, I'd like to hear how it went.

Building on what Chris_D said, you can't really talk about dating sites without talking about how many people are actually near you. Most of the frustration with dating sites traces back to the local pool.

The honest tradeoff with dating sites are local activity levels against convenience. I would put how thin it gets outside cities above almost everything else when it comes to dating sites. The density problem matters more for dating sites than any feature list.

Curious whether dating sites work differently outside big cities?

Going to disagree with Bobby on this one. what decided it for me with dating sites were the everyday experience. If the everyday experience isn't sorted, dating sites will not go anywhere. The part people underrate about dating sites are the actual outcomes.

Worth testing dating sites for over 60s for finding travel companions yourself for a week before deciding.

Nobody warns you that dating sites depend so heavily on what people get out of it. Do dating sites still hold up for you lot?

If you are asking about dating sites for over 60s for finding travel companions, you are already ahead of where I was. Whether there's anyone nearby is what separates a good week from a wasted one with dating sites.

If I were starting dating sites again:

  • run one platform properly instead of five badly while you are testing dating sites
  • hold your number back until you have actually met while you are testing dating sites
  • set aside ten days before deciding anything about dating sites

The honest tradeoff with dating sites are coverage in your area against convenience.

I judge dating sites almost entirely on local activity levels now.

Rendate lately is the one I keep going back to for dating sites.

  • souldate.site

That list is what gets mentioned, not what I would personally back for dating sites.
