Hi Jason,
Frankly, I don't think online dating for seniors is not as awful as you stated. My friend Jacky met his second part recently on a niche dating site named SeniorWoo.
It really needs our wisdom as you mentioned. Choosing a paid site may be the right approach. Yes, no free thing in this world and you get what you pay for. Respond to this comment
