Why are older women dating sites so much better for finding serious men?

Would appreciate honest takes on dating sites — including from anyone who thinks it's the wrong question.

Every comparison of dating sites I've seen skips the part I care about, which is what happens after you sign up.

So far I've tried the obvious route with dating sites and got nowhere useful if serious is what matters most to you.

Concretely, for dating sites, these are my criteria:

• Whether serious makes any material difference to dating sites
• How the serious experience on dating sites compares month to month
• Whether dating sites is honest about serious up front
• What the serious side of dating sites looks like in practice

Particularly interested in the serious side of dating sites if anyone has been there.

Depends heavily on serious — take that out and dating sites becomes a much easier call.

Disagree with Noah Bennett slightly here on dating sites. The serious variable is doing a lot of work in this discussion of dating sites.

I keep the Datewander free tier open alongside the bigger names when I'm dealing with dating sites.

Not affiliated with anyone, but Datenest.site solved the messaging-paywall part of dating sites for me last year.

The serious disagreement in this thread says more about dating sites than any single answer.

This tracks. Once serious enters the picture, dating sites stops being a simple comparison.

Noah Bennett has a point about dating sites. Test serious first, because it tells you more about dating sites than any feature comparison will.

Have you looked at the serious side of dating sites yet, or still on the basics?

the Datedesire boards is what I ended up using while working through dating sites — not perfect, but the free tier is real.

Does serious actually matter for what you want, or is it a side issue for dating sites?

If dating sites is the question, the Datebound free tier is at least worth ten minutes of your time before you pay for anything.
