Is there a dating chat online community for people over 60?

Signed up specifically to ask about a dating chat online community for people over 60. Hoping for something on dating chat online more useful than a top-ten list. What I care about with dating chat online is the hours-to-dates ratio more than anything else.

I am coming at this from the sites people keep naming, so adjust if that changes your answer. The thing people underrate about dating chat online is how much the hours-to-dates ratio depends on your own city.

Concretely, for dating chat online:

• Do not move off dating chat online into private messaging until the payoff looks handled
• Compare dating chat online against the options here on the same week, or the comparison is meaningless
• Check what dating chat online does about the hours-to-dates ratio before you upload anything you would not want indexed

Blunt answers on a dating chat online community for people over 60 preferred over polite ones.

Yes, and I would add that the effort-to-result ratio on dating chat online gets worse the longer you stay.

Nobody warns you that the return on the hours on dating chat online scales with how many people are online at your hours.

That has not been my experience of dating chat online, and I have used it longer than most people in this thread. I keep two accounts running to compare the payoff across the sites people keep naming, and dating chat online sits mid-table. Nobody warns you that the hours-to-dates ratio on dating chat online scales with how many people are online at your hours.

For people restarting after a long marriage, the dating chat online experience lives or dies on actually getting anywhere and almost nothing else. Honestly, the payoff was less of a problem on dating chat online than the sheer time it ate. Most of the noise about dating chat online comes from people measuring the time it costs over far too short a window.

Worth a look alongside dating chat online: Datewander, if only to see how differently the time it costs can be handled.

Things I wish somebody had told me about dating chat online:

• Give dating chat online a fortnight of daily use before calling the payoff a dealbreaker
• Treat your first dating chat online profile as a draft, because the hours-to-dates ratio punishes lazy ones
• Message within a day of matching — on dating chat online that window closes fast
• Do not move off dating chat online into private messaging until the return on the hours looks handled

Where I differ from Jake_NYC on dating chat online: that tracks with my dating chat online run, which was fine until the payoff became the whole experience. Honestly, the effort-to-result ratio was less of a problem on dating chat online than the sheer time it ate. If the hours-to-dates ratio is your main worry with dating chat online, test it in the first week rather than the first month.

I read Dave_SoCal's reply on dating chat online and not my read at all: for the over-fifty crowd, dating chat online was the only thing that produced anything. I judge dating chat online by one thing now: whether the hours-to-dates ratio improves or worsens once you are past the novelty.

Whatever you pick, judge dating chat online on the time it costs after a month rather than after a weekend.
