Looking specifically at mainstream apps, in practice results were not far off what I had used before.

On AmeliaS's point, right in principle, messier in practice for mainstream apps.

Testing dating over 60 over roughly six months showed that close to all of the accounts I came across were more genuine than I expected. An account created days ago with hundreds of matches was the one thing that never turned out fine, especially where dating over 60 is concerned. Over a season of on-and-off use, hardly any of the people I actually met changed my mind about the platform for dating over 60. The caveat is that dating over 60s free membership option on mainstream apps changes completely once you leave the free tier.

• For mainstream apps, density beats every feature on the list.
• Ask one specific question instead of opening with hello — true of dating over 60.
• Watch for accounts with a visible history rather than the verification badge — above all for mainstream apps (particularly for dating over 60).
