From the moment you visit its homepage, SilverSingles walks you through a simple sign-up process and helps you create a profile in just a few minutes. It's incredibly easy to input your information and join the international network. All you need is a valid email address to get started. Next, you'll take a personality test that assesses who you are (age, education, profession, etc.) and what you want in a partner (age, intelligence, height, etc.). You can rank how important certain characteristics are in a partner. If, for instance, you're set on dating a Christian person, you can let the dating site know, and it'll factor religion into its suggested matches. The personality quiz asks over 100 questions and will take some time to complete, but it's worth it to have catered match suggestions arrive in your inbox.
Once your profile is set up, and you've added at least one photo of yourself (this is optional but encouraged), you can browse for singles in your area and upgrade your account to a preferred membership plan to send messages to anyone you like. You cannot view photos as a free member, but you can read the profiles as well as send and receive virtual smiles.
What's great about SilverSingles is how hands-on the interface is at guiding new users through the signup and matching process. You can sit back and let compatible matches come to you, or you can be proactive and use the advanced search filters to find that dream date.
