The Good
A lot of love and care has been put into this site; they understand the clientele very well. Everything has been designed so that it’s as easy to use as humanly possible. They also have put a lot of effort into keeping the site very safe, they verify account and track for suspicious behaviour.
The Bad
Human verification may occasionally be required; in order for them to keep the community as safe as possible certain account will be checked for manual review. Most people will never come across this, but in my opinion it’s a very small price to pay for such a safe site.
Network Reach
For a site that doesn’t have a well-known brand name this site has a massive community, tens of thousands. It also is a surprisingly active community.

Creating your profile
They have designed the profile set up with the more mature user in mind, at the point that you first join you are guided through a very simple wizard that prompts you for details at each point and at the end allow you to upload and crop a number of photos.
Finding your match
Silver Senior Dating allows a number of different ways to find a match. The core search function is set up with a very smart default which for most people will find them some great matches, but for the more experienced users it’s easy to take advantage of the advanced searching function in order to find someone that suits them better.
It uses a locational search which returns people in your surrounding area; however you can search further afield. It also has some great ice breaking functionality that helps people start chatting without the awkward composing of a first message.
Connecting with members
Silver Senior Dating offers multiple ways for it users to connect with each other. You have the standard messages, cheeky winks, the encounters system, favourites and a clever icebreaker feature where users are given questions to spark conversation. This all leads to a very active fun community.
Mobile Features
The site looks great on a tablet and it even function very well on mobile phones. However on some mobiles the interface does tend to be a little clutter for your average senior.
The Trust Factor
I was really impressed by how secure and safe the site is. The team who run it really understand that they are working with silver surfer who are often more trusting than the younger more jaded youngster. They have implement lot of measure to make sure that the members are all legitimate.
Payment & Support
The site does offer a free option, however I would argue that to get the most out of the site you really need to upgrade. A lot of effort goes into this site and the additional feature that they make available to the paid members really does allow you to experience the site to it full.
They have a secure payment system that accepts all major credit cards.
