Curious where people land on the best dating site for women over 50 who want serious, especially the 50-plus crowd who've used it more than a fortnight. The part nobody mentions about the best dating site for women over 50 who want serious is overall consistency; it shapes everything else.

  • One I wish I had done sooner: test it for a week before committing for at least a week
  • Takes five minutes: read the billing page before you tap anything before you commit
  • First thing: fill the profile out properly first
  • Worth doing early: check activity at different hours twice, a fortnight apart

Open to being wrong on the best dating site for women over 50 who want serious if someone has run it longer than I have.
