Why is Online Dating for the Over 50′s so Popular?



If you’re reading this then it’s likely that a) you have some interest in meeting people, or even dating via the internet and b) you’re over 50? Well you’re part of an ever growing group of older people who are trying out online dating for the first time. In fact older daters are the fastest growing group in the world of digital daliances – but why. Well there are lots of theories about why the ‘older generation’ (sic) are so interested.

1) Firstly we all have greater access to the internet and we’re all using it for lots of different reasons and feel more comfortable with sharing personal details online.
2) Secondly, and perhaps sadly, divorce rates are up – but on a positive point more and more people are starting out afresh and are looking for love again
3) And thirdly – it’s not easy meeting new people. Social opportunities with new people lessen with age, and as they say the good ones are either married or gay!

So, still interested? – great, because it’s fun, so dive in and give it a go!
