After you make it through the laborious sign-up process, you’ll be taken straight to a sign-up page and shown three different options. There was no option to click away and nothing directing us to a free page or trial membership.

This option is available, however. You just need to return to the site’s homepage, at which point you can browse the site but won’t be able to see any of the members (all pictures are blurred) or send messages.

We have reviewed this site a few times over the last couple of years and have seen some massive price changes in that time. As a result, the prices quoted below are subject to change.

Premium Light – 3 Months

The Premium Light plan is a three-month subscription that includes unlimited communication and intelligent matchmaking. It costs $22.95 per month.

Premium Classic – 6 Months

The Premium Classic plan is a six-month subscription that includes unlimited photos, intelligent matchmaking, access to all member photos, access to profile visitors, and read receipts for messages. It costs $13.95 per month.

Premium Comfort – 12 Months

The Premium Comfort plan is a year-long subscription that includes unlimited communication, intelligent matchmaking, access to all member photos, access to profile visitors, and read receipts for messages. It costs $11.95 per month.

SilverSingles is a great dating site for people who are over 50 years old. SilverSingles uses first-class, in-depth, and detailed algorithms that help you find that special someone you are looking for. This is a great site for someone who is looking for a genuine connection.

You don’t have to be over the age of 50 to join, which might be a concern for some users. The youngest you can be to join the site is 18-years-old, although as you might expect for a site that targets its services to older users, the vast majority of members are 50+.

Registration process

Get a cup of coffee or a glass of wine and prepare to bare your soul. The registration process for Silver Singles requires more than just creating a username and entering your basic information. This registration process is also where the advanced dating algorithm kicks off. By answering a flurry of multiple-choice questions about your personal interests, habits, and desires, the algorithm will be able to match you with compatible singles. Be honest and respect the process, then upload your best profile picture and you’re all set.

Profile set-up

Most of your profile is created during registration. All that’s left to do is create a headline and fill out a description of yourself to showcase who you are.

We experienced an issue during the “Location” section. It asks you to input your city/zip code, and then pinpoints your location on a map, before asking how far you are willing to travel for a date. The problem is, it didn’t recognise any Australian cities. In the end, we settled on “Sydney, Florida, USA”.

The good news is that you can change your address once you have joined and it will let you choose Australia at this point. The bad news is that there don’t seem to be many Australian-based users.
