Just in time for Valentine's Day, SinglesOver50.com has launched a new website called SinglesOver50.com which is a new online dating web site for senior citizens.
SinglesOver50.com principal Hal Meyer explained, "The purpose of this website is to enable single senior citizens to meet each other over the internet. Online communication and networking really is the highest and best use of the internet."
Meyer said, "It is estimated that 50 million adults over the age of 50 have internet access, and online dating is a natural for them as many are getting divorced and re-starting their dating and social lives."
He continued, "Women in particular are gaining in online influence. Studies also show that women are achieving parity with men in terms of the online population. This wasn't always the case. Five years ago, there were fifty percent more men online than women. But now, the internet has become much more mainstream and that lead has disappeared, as women feel more comfortable with the technology, and each sex is using the Net in roughly the same numbers. So, how to arrange it so these people can conveniently meet?"
SinglesOver50.com offers a solution, with free signup and other features. SinglesOver50.com is an affiliate of one of the largest dating networks in the world. The web site clearly explains the features, and the free signup is only a one page form.
Meyer concluded, "Analysts have examined the demographics of baby boomers and concluded that a "silver tsunami" is already starting. The baby boomer generation is the healthiest, wealthiest, and most wired in the history of our country. A surprising number have Mac, laptop, and mobile devices. Our sense is that many of these senior singles will want to meet others online, to explore friendship and romance. Companionship is a basic human instinct, and we believe the confluence of these above factors will produce something of significance."
