In terms of completely free dating sites for over 60s safe to use, on balance the useful signal was people who answer questions directly. A surprising number of the profiles worth a second look went quiet within days, which was not far off the older sites still running, especially where dating over 60 is concerned.

Curious whether anyone else saw the same with over 60s safe.

Replying to Grace: I would challenge part of this where dating over 60 is concerned.

Coming back to completely free dating sites for over 60s safe to use, judging by my own run at it the pattern was consistent.

Not sure that generalises to dating over 60.

People underestimate how much location changes dating over 60. Though your mileage may vary, the experience was nowhere near the newer entrants once the novelty wore off, especially where dating over 60 is concerned. One thing I did not expect was that profiles filled out properly predicted a real conversation better than anything else, especially where dating over 60 is concerned. What I would add is that roughly half of the profiles worth a second look turned out to be worth the time — that is the whole story really, especially where dating over 60 is concerned. I think that conflates two separate things, and on completely free dating sites for over 60s safe to use the distinction matters.
