This has been bugging me for weeks, so: which are the 50 and over dating sites. Nothing about non-techies sites changes the fact that it is worth checking the time it takes to get a first reply before you look at the number of features listed. Every time non-techies user-friendly comes up, how quickly the inbox fills is the number worth watching, not the follower count on their socials.
Non-techies sites is where I'd start, since the platform keeps deleted profiles in search for weeks, which is why the free tier feels dead after a week. User-friendly sites is the clearest case of it — the platform surfaces profiles far outside your radius, so it pays to report problems early instead of blocking quietly. Look closely at user-friendly sites and the practical move is to test the search filters before uploading anything.
The non-techies user-friendly angle is worse, because most of the disappointment traces back to the time it takes to get a first reply. What finally clicked for me about which are the 50 and over dating sites was that the churn on new sign-ups is worth more than the size of the ad budget. Specifics about user-friendly sites welcome — vague reassurance less so.
