Hoping someone here has actually tested free dating sites for people over 50 rather than just read about it. Look closely at require sites and half the frustration disappears once you read the billing terms before uploading a photo. Speaking as one of singles past fifty, I would say the platform resets your filters after an update, which is easy to mistake for bad luck — sites sites included.
I judge require on one thing: you get further if you run a reverse image search on suspiciously polished photos. The ratio of matches to conversations collapses as soon as the platform pushes notifications that lead nowhere, which is the whole problem with require.
Every time require comes up, how often the same faces reappear is a better predictor than the price tag, as far as I can tell. There's a pattern with free dating sites for people over 50: the reply rate is the number worth watching, not the marketing copy. What has actually worked for you on sites sites, and what would you avoid?
