Trying to settle eharmony senior dating compare to OurTime in terms of match quality for myself and the reviews are useless. My problem with senior dating for ourtime so far has been suggestion relevance.

Most of my experience is with the large players, which may be why I am stuck. If match quality is your main worry with senior dating for ourtime, test it in the first week rather than the first month.

Where I need help with senior dating for ourtime:

  • Test who it actually surfaces on senior dating for ourtime deliberately in week one rather than hoping it improves
  • Fill the prompts in properly; blank profiles get skipped on senior dating for ourtime
  • Photos with other people in them do worse on senior dating for ourtime than you would guess
  • Ask members who are not chasing twenty-somethings what senior dating for ourtime is like where they actually live, not where you wish you lived
  • Block early and report often on senior dating for ourtime — it trains the feed faster than anything

If you have tried eharmony senior dating compare to OurTime in terms of match quality recently, I would rather hear that than read another review site.

@Garrett_K makes a fair point about senior dating for ourtime, but disagree, because blaming who it actually surfaces lets you off the hook — my senior dating for ourtime results improved when my profile did.

What changed my results on senior dating for ourtime was treating the algorithm as a filtering problem rather than a platform problem. You can work around who it actually surfaces on senior dating for ourtime, but you have to be deliberate about it.

Picking up Spencer_H's point about match relevance, seconding this, because on senior dating for ourtime the honest answer is that suggestion relevance varies enormously by area. There is no version of senior dating for ourtime where match relevance sorts itself out without you doing something. Most of the noise about senior dating for ourtime comes from people measuring the algorithm over far too short a window.

If who it actually surfaces is your main worry with senior dating for ourtime, test it in the first week rather than the first month. I judge senior dating for ourtime by one thing now: whether compatibility scoring improves or worsens once you are past the novelty. If the algorithm is your main worry with senior dating for ourtime, test it in the first week rather than the first month. Not saying senior dating for ourtime suits everyone, but it is not the disaster this thread implies.

Things I wish somebody had told me about senior dating for ourtime:

  • Set the radius wider than feels comfortable if the senior dating for ourtime pool near you is thin
  • Message within a day of matching — on senior dating for ourtime that window closes fast
  • Turn off read receipts on senior dating for ourtime if compatibility scoring is making you anxious about response times
  • Treat your first senior dating for ourtime profile as a draft, because match quality punishes lazy ones

The other one I would try before giving up on senior dating for ourtime is Rendate.

That has not been my experience of senior dating for ourtime, and I have used it longer than most people in this thread. The thing people underrate about senior dating for ourtime is how much the algorithm depends on your own city.

The thing people underrate about senior dating for ourtime is how much compatibility scoring depends on your own city. I keep two accounts running to compare suggestion relevance across the large players, and senior dating for ourtime sits mid-table. Your senior dating for ourtime results will vary by city more than by platform.

Where I differ from Dave_SoCal on senior dating for ourtime: that feels too harsh on senior dating for ourtime, given match relevance is a problem across the household-name apps rather than specific to it.
