Gold Membership Costs
At the time of this writing, 12 months gold membership costs $139.99 total ($11.66/mo.) and is billed every 365 days (sometimes you get 6-months FREE if there is a special). 3 months gold membership costs $59.99 billed every 90 days, which comes to $19.99/mo. (sometimes you get 1 month FREE if there is a special); and 1 month costs $33.99 billed monthly. Start with regular FREE membership to look around a bit before you decide to pay for silver membership.
Both Gold and Silver Paid Memberships allow senior singles to enhance their profiles and get more responses by:
- Paying extra to have their profile stand out more in the search results and emails via highlighting. Extra Cost for Highlighted Profile Listing: 3 months is $24.90 (renewable at $6.90/mo.) and 1 month is $9.90 (renewable at $8.90/mo.)
- Paying extra to allow regular free members to contact you, (normally FREE cannot contact Silver or Gold members). Extra Cost to Allow Standard FREE Members to send you email at no cost to them: 12 months is $99.90 (renewable at $9.95/mo.); 3 months is $35.90 (renewable at $12.95/mo.) and 1 month is $19.90 (renewable at $19.90/mo.)
Is it worth the money? We thinks so, simply because standing out in a dating database of over 400,000 and being able to communicate with all members, even the FREE members, can make all the difference between being lonely now and staying lonely tomorrow.
More than just a senior dating service, an active senior community
But wait there is certainly more to SeniorFriendFinder than just online dating..."express yourself!"
You can also contribute your own writing or photos to Senior FriendFinder Magazine, an interactive collection of written and visual contributions by members for members. It reminds us somewhat of a social networking site only in online magazine form. At the time of this writing we found the following number of articles written by members:
- Breaking Up (369)
- Building a Relationship (499)
- Dating Quiz (66)
- Dating Safety (95)
- First Dates (156)
- General (1312)
- General Advice (599)
- Poems (2379)
- Relationship Humor (1322)
- Saying "No Thanks" (127)
Everyone has an opinion and senior singles especially like expressing their opinions via the many quizzes, polls and surveys at SeniorFriendFinder.
Video and voice come together in beautiful ways in the SeniorFriendFinder chat rooms. Saddle up your webcam and ride the wide open live chat bucking broncos or gentle ponies. It is a heap of fun and a doozy of a great way to meet other senior singles. Plus there’s the hot steamy chat in the “Boudoir” chat room should you want to invite an attractive friend to heat things up a bit.
Truly an eclectic online community of seniors, for every hobby or interest you have there are probably 100s or even 1000s of seniors at SeniorFriendFinder who share it with you.
You can even start your own blog, or enjoy reading and commenting on the blog entries of others.
The best way to use everything SeniorFriendFinder has to offer
Join for free, and immediately browse or search for senior singles in your local area, say within a 100 miles radius of your home town, or as far as you are willing to travel should the opportunity for a real life date present itself. It is oh so easy, too. In the middle of the gray navigation bar click the gray button entitled “Get Local” and poof, a map of your local area pops up. Fill out the search box to the left and poof, all kinds of listings with pretty faces pop onto your computer screen. Don’t get ahead of yourself. Read the persons detailed profile before clicking any of the right-hand buttons entitled: “Flirt,” “Email,” “Hotlist,” or “Invite as Friend.”
We like SeniorFriendFinder and highly recommend it to all English speaking senior singles, by starting with a FREE trial membership.
One final dating tip
Don’t be lazy! Even though you are free to write as little or as much as you like in your custom dating profile, don’t take the easy way out. Write enough to attract the attention you deserve, use humor and photos. Don’t write a veritable book either. Start with a quick summary of who you are and what you are looking for, just enough to get your profile accepted so you can look around. Take note of what others have included in their dating profiles and then go back to yours and add some more information to your profile whenever you get inspired. Remember not too much and not too little. Read some articles on creating a winning profile if you need more help.
Be brave and also try to do a halfway decent job of creating a Video Introduction to really get attention. Uploading your video into may pay off hansomly in the form of more friends to date.
We like SeniorFriendFinder and highly recommend it to you. Our only real complaint is the very unfriendly annoying banner ads that flash, jiggle and wave at the top of their pages, and collated amongst the search results, etc. We must put up with them though, the ads probably subsidize the FREE regular membership, so they can keep it FREE, but boy are those banner ads ever harsh on these tired old eyes.
