What I care about most with dating over 50 is whether the experience is consistent.

On Caleb Hill's point, I would challenge part of this where online dating for seniors becoming the new normal is concerned.

The thing about dating over 50 is that a decent proportion of the accounts that looked active confirmed what I suspected.
