Curious how SeniorPeopleMeet actually works? It’s actually pretty easy. The dating site provides clear instructions from the signup process to the matching system, so new members won’t feel overwhelmed by the all the features available.
Creating a profile takes less than a minute. All you need to provide is a zip code, birthday, username, and password. All usernames must contain letters and numbers only. SeniorPeopleMeet also asks for an email address to verify the member’s identity. The dating site does not share its members’ email addresses with any third-party companies.
SeniorPeopleMeet prompts new members to add at least one profile photo, but you can skip this step if you want. Though, the dating site has seen that profiles with photos receive 10 times as much attention as profiles without photos -- because people are visual and want to know they’re talking to someone real. If you’re not comfortable adding a photo just yet, you can stick with the general silhouette as you check out the site.
You can browse for as long as you want for free. If you want to talk to people online, you have to sign up for one of the following plans:
- The Best Value Plan: A six-month subscription includes messaging, full mobile access, and greater visibility on the site.
- Standard Plan: A standard six-month subscription includes unlimited messaging features and full mobile access.
- Full Price: A one-month subscription includes unlimited messaging and access to the app.
The Best Value Plan (which is billed as one payment of over $100) offers the most features, including a profile highlight, but it is a big investment, so only serious online daters should sign up for this plan. Subscriptions will automatically renew until the member cancels the plan in the Account Settings page.
Safety is an obvious concern among seniors online because many cybercriminals actively target this vulnerable demographic. That’s why SeniorPeopleMeet highlights online dating safety tips on its website. It highlights valuable health information and precautionary measures as well as hotlines to call in case something happens.
The dating site flags people for violating its terms of behavior by:
- Asking for money or donations.
- Requesting photographs.
- Sending harassing or offensive messages or emails.
- Other fraudulent, inappropriate, or spammy behavior.
Members should report anyone exhibiting these behaviors and be wary of sharing sensitive information with anyone they meet online. SeniorPeopleMeet will never send an email asking users to provide their personal information, so any email suggesting members provide contact or financial information has been falsified and should be reported immediately.
