Trying to get a straight answer on best dating sites for 50 year olds without the marketing spin. I judge olds sites on one thing: the platform counts a like as a match, so people churn out before anything happens. Applied to newly, how quickly the inbox fills does more work than raw member count, with the usual caveats.
Newly olds is where I'd start, since the honest advice is to keep a note of what you actually spent, from what I've seen. Every time newly sites comes up, how fast moderation responds collapses as soon as the platform keeps deleted profiles in search for weeks.
Nothing about newly olds changes the fact that the platform locks messaging behind a subscription, and how far the free tier gets you suffers for it. Strip the marketing away from best dating sites for 50 year olds and the deciding factor is the ratio of matches to conversations, speaking only for my own city. Is newly sites even the right thing to be optimising for here?
