Registration Process
Signing up is very easy and will only take about 10 minutes. After selecting if you’re searching only for social or dating, it asks for your email address and allows you to create a password. You’ll indicate your gender and the gender you’re seeking, as well as your age, ethnicity, height, and location. Create a username and enter a referral code if you have one.
The last few steps include creating a profile headline, an about me, and writing a little about your perfect match. You’ll need to add a photo and verify your email address before you can start browsing. It will take up to one business day for your profile to be reviewed, but you can speed this up to 3 minutes if you purchase a premium subscription.
To have a fully complete dating profile, you’ll need to answer all the questions on the profile page. Profiles have several sections, including some novel icebreaker-type questions, a place for you to share your favorite song, and a section for you to share a motivational quote that guides you.
App & Mobile Compatibility
A mobile app exists for both Android and iOS users. The app is very intuitive and easy to use. The app even has some features that aren’t available on the desktop site yet, such as the Match or Not feature. The site is also well-suited for use on a mobile browser, making it easy to take your matches with you as you go about your day.
Men Vs Women
Men and women get equal treatment on Senior Match, each with the same dating profile creation requirements and steps. Additionally, a premium subscription costs the same regardless of your gender.
Features
FLAME
This is a way to match with users by being shown an overview of their profile and having the opportunity to like them by swiping right or clicking a heart icon or pass on them by clicking an X or swiping left. It can make browsing for a match feel less overwhelming because you only deal with one profile at a time.
Share Senior Jokes
On your profile, you can share any jokes you know that are related to being older. This is a fun way to share a laugh with anyone visiting your profile and show more of your personality. You can also see everyone else’s Senior Jokes under the community tab to share some humour about this stage of life.
Play the Get to Know You Game
This feature has 152 questions about everything from whether you have faith in humanity to whether you wash your sheets regularly. You can answer as many or as few as you want. Then, when visiting someone else’s profile, you can view your answers and see if they match up. This is a fun way to see your beliefs and habits' compatibility.
Offers, Prices & Costs
Subscription Package

These are available for different periods, and the Senior Match cost is:
- 1 Month: $29.95

- 6 Months: $15.99/month ($95.95 at the start of the period)
Safety & Security
Your Personal Information
We did see some cause for concern in the Privacy Policy. The site collects an extensive amount of information about you, both from the Senior Match dating site and other sources, including your credit card number, expiration date, and security code. Later on, it states that your personal information can be shared with a long list of third parties.
Additionally, it states that your personal information may be shared to “advance their commercial interests […] by inducing a person to buy, […] or exchange products […] or information”. This is alarming because it seems your card information may be shared with third parties for financial gain.
Conclusion
The site has a very good user experience overall. There’s a lot to do, read about, and share about yourself in your profile and the community spaces. It’s a great place to meet and connect with other older people, although it does suffer from having very few users, which is a main complaint in many other Senior Match reviews.
The premium subscription costs about average and will make communication easier. However, there are some concerning things that they may do with your personal information, so we don’t recommend purchasing premium. We’d recommend giving it a trial using the free features, but be very careful about what information you share with the site.
