Do not follow my parameters. Men are of extremely old age and live hundreds of miles away. Ugly and ignorant. No photos, and no education. It is a crap shoot. I am canceling.

Worst dating app ever. Can’t open up profiles of someone who likes your photo or sends y you a message.

It feels like fraud. My MATCHES rarely include my preferences. My 50 mile radius has out-of-state matches; same bogus with age, ethincity. Are the pictures and profiles real? I doubt this.

The software is crap. If you indicate that you want to meet folks that are - say less than 50 miles away -- the site totally ignores this field and prompts folks that are 100's of miles away. Useless. --- and 50 miles is the minimum distance you can choose. I don't think most folks want to meet folks that are more than 10 miles away. You know - driving tens of miles at night isn't a great idea for some of us.

After the first month, things started to steadily decay in terms of preference matching - 50 miles turned into 500 miles, even out of state and out of country. The matches eventually turned very sloppy, with even some same sex responses. Then the scammers turned up the heat. Fortunately, they get reasonably easy to spot. Then the page format seemed to change, and it was often impossible to delete a candidate. Then the email notification of “Sara” is interested in you, when clicked on, brought up an entirely different person (usually one that had shown up numerous times before).

So far the only contacts I have had from this site are scammers who ask for money. This site seems rife with that. They seem to follow the same formula too. It’s creepy.

In 10 days, I’ve had to report 10 scam accounts. Despite stating that I’m interested in relatively local matches, most computer generated matches are 100s to 1000s of miles away.

Massive amount of trolling scammers or hookers..the rest is human nature ,i guess, but you say "hi or i like your profile ",and crickets.....from a bunch of self described, open-minded and kind women..tried getting a refund after 1 day, but nope..and MAKE SURE YOU WRITE AND CANCEL as their policy is they'll keep billing you..deleting profile is not enough..same experience with match and ourtime...better to just be open minded and friendly to when i say hi to you in the grocery store. Not everyone is a creepy axe murderer...Tim in Billings

Some of the customer's parameters are not taken into account. I insisted on men living at no more than 50 kg from my place and sometimes they are as far as 300 kg from my place. The help service and customer service are a calamity.

Poor website design. Search parameters are useless. I asked for within 50 miles and got people from 150 miles (ca. 241 km) away. A lot of time wasted going through irrelevant matches. Personality matching (as on all dating sites) is a waste of time and doesn't help. Unhelpful customer service — it's even difficult to find the customer services form. Seriously wondering whether some messages don't actually get delivered.

The fact that it is owned by the same group as “elite singles”, which I haven't seen disclosed on either site. So what happens is that, after signing up for both, I was receiving exactly the same “matches” from both sites, meaning I paid double what I needed to pay. As with many sites, lots of scammers.

Constant scammers. Some were vulgar, threatening and scary. I reported one that was particularly scary- sent the messages to SS and the person was still able to message me. Nothing was done. I rarely received a match that matched my preferences…”

Loaded with Spammers and Scammers. I get 10-15 spammers a day. It is ridiculous, so if you enjoy dealing with them this is the site for you. It is so bad I can no longer tell who is bad or who is good.

Spark Networks owns and operates Zoosk, SilverSingles and EliteSingles among others. For SilverSingles and EliteSingles they double dip as they share the profile database across the two sites. No sense paying for these two two sites as you will get the same match profiles. Also worth noting, after a great many conversations with them (they are in Germany) they will not institute code to stop the fake profiles - which I estimate to be 20:1 over real profiles. Tips: Never share your real email address, even when signing up for these services. Most of the fakes want to text only, that means a phone #, beware, while it might be amusing to screw with them, they will spoof your number for fraud & robocalls - best to get a google voice number you can throwaway before your real one ends up on the federal do not call list. Never ever open an email if you are foolish enough to share your email address in the first place - yes, even image files can get a trojan to your PC. Lastly, male or female, you will get the "I'm closing me account, but my friend saw you and is crushing on you message - over and over", the fakes / scammers aren't very creative, probably offshore as well. It really is too bad; there are honest people online looking for a match, which makes this sinkhole of the internet very inviting for predators. Companies like Spark Networks have the capital and expertise to make their environments safer from these predators - but they elect not to do so.

I have encountered an inordinate number of women who aren't ready for relationships with anyone - I can tell it's not just with me. They are using my interest, hope, time, and money to see if they want to end their celibacy - and the great majority of the time (EVERY time for me so far), they do not. If there's any way of screening for that, which there probably isn't - S.S. should do that.

Poorly functioning AP. Most of my contacts were fakes who try to lure you off site. I find it discouraging that you identify mates living area by cities and do not include the state, one has no idea where possible dates reside. And finally you do not adhere to mile range that is requested.

It is full of scammers just like free sites but the cost is astronomical for the little service provided. Not one guy answered an email in 3 months.

They do not have a very good system that provides matches with regard to your preferences. What they will do is tell you to change your preferences to a wider scope (including distance from you) so you get more matches. In addition I received two messages inside their system that were obvious scams, requesting I contact a "friend" of the Silver Singles "member because she would be perfect for me. Lastly, I began to receive E Mail messages to the account I setup just for this subscription, so I know the info came directly from their database. Horrible Customer Service responses to all of this, they send standard responses each time. Waste of time and money.

Germans will send you to a collection agency if you forget to cancel their (by default) autorenewwal. That's how they make most of their money by blackmailing you. This is typical for a German company, they do it at home too.

Okay so I'm interested in older women, and thought Silver Singles was a place where I could search for profiles, or would use a swipe-system like most other dating apps. This model of dating website works because statistically, a man will need to swipe roughly 1,000 times before he gets 1 match. That's the simple reality of what it means to do online dating if you're a man. You know you'll need to send out lots of messages before anyone replies. So I came on Silver Singles, having paid the full price for 3 months, and saw only 9 matches. I thought maybe those are just recommended profiles... I started clicking around looking for the search bar where I could see 500 more profiles and get to messaging. Again, I purchased 3 months, so if I start sending out messages now, I can expect to get maybe 4 or 5 replies before my membership expires. I touched every button I could find, and there doesn't appear to be a search bar. What gives? So I clicked on "help", thinking I'm just missing the option that lets me access the thousands of profiles I very clearly and obviously need, because honestly, it's just a fact of life that men will not get matches better than 500 messages for 1 response, and even the most casual online dater knows this. That's when I saw the help page, quote: "You cannot search our website for members; we do the work and recommend compatible matches for you" ..... are... you... serious? I mean... okay, this idea MIGHT work, if your website matched me to, say, 10,000 other people I could browse through. But you matched me to literally NINE PEOPLE AND THAT'S IT!! And I changed my settings to allow for literally anyone over the age of 50. And all I'm matched to is just the nine? So I paid 50 dollars for 3 months and this is all I get. I can message all of them in ten minutes. Then what? I sit and wait for the next 89 days and hope that one replies? Go on literally any other website where you can actually swipe or browse. With SilverSingles, you're left at the complete mercy of their algorithm. Imagine if it only matched you with 3 people after you went and paid the full premium price for membership.
