Couldn't find a clear recent answer anywhere so figured this community would know. Tell a trusted friend your plans and share your live location during any first meeting.
The over-60 crowd tends to write much more detailed profiles, which makes initial conversations easier. Tech support quality matters a lot for seniors — the best platforms have phone-based assistance.
Niche senior platforms like those for travelers or Christians outperform general apps for this age group.
Safety practices I always follow:
- Trust your instincts — if something feels wrong before a meet, cancel without guilt.
- Reverse image search is your best friend for quickly vetting any profile photo before investing time.
- Check privacy policies before giving any platform access to your contacts or precise location.
