I met my wonderful husband through eharmony. We truly are a perfect match. It is a little scary to meet someone online but for us it worked perfectly.

From everything I've ever read (reviews and rating sites), 2 of the most reputable dating sites is Eharmony and Match.com

@deepwaterdotter   lol   Certainly is --  It wasn't as simple as clicking and swiping, but it worked better than anything else available to me at the time. 

One of the best ads I answered put me in touch with a whole group of singles.  Not so many dates, but after 30+ years, I am still in touch with some of the women and men from that group.  And I did meet a man who was a part of my life for over 20 years.  Sad to say that dating a younger man doesn't always mean he will outlast us.

Good trip down nostalia lane for me today.

I signed up for a free month on Match just to see what it was like and I met my husband during that month. He is the love of my life and I couldn't be happier.

The personals in our local newspaper is how my mom met my step-father.   She had been a widow at age 45 and did not date anyone while my brother and myself were young and still living at home.  After my brother and myself got married (she was then around 55) she started losing a lot of weight - probably went down about 3 dress sizes at least. 

She then told us that she met Jim at the dentist office.  A few years later she got married to Jim and was married to him until she passed away at age 73.  When she passed away I was going through her stuff and found a few personal ads with Jim's circled.  I never knew until then that was how she had met him.  I guess she did not want me to know that she was dating men from the personal ads.

I've been married...forever.  But 2 of my friends, one in her mid 60s and the other in her mid 70s, are dating terrific men they met on a senior dating site.  That Silver one we see advertised on TV.   They were very happy with their experiences.  One hadn't had a date in 10 years and thought that part of her life was over and then she took a chance and the 3rd  guy she went out with turned out to be the one.

@Goodie2shoes   Ask Shawn K.❤️❤️❤️I know quite a few people who met and married people they met on dating websites

I would only trust EHarmony and Match. Putting even more intimately personal information out there on Facebook for nefarious characters to harvest and abuse seems like a terrible idea to me.

@Goodie2shoes   @  If I was in the market for a partner I would not go on a website.  You have no idea who you are talking to.  There are so many crazies out here today that I would rather be by myself than with some psycho.  The best way to meet someone is through friends that know the person for many years and that is still no guarantee but seems a lot safer.

As far as young women after older men -- Sugar Daddy.  The sugar daddy man wants a trophy on his arm and Viagra (sp?)  in his pocket.  LOL
