The members displayed in every user's search tabs are matches suggested by SilverSingles. SilverSingles calculates the percentage of compatibility of every member who signs up on their dating website and puts them on the search results of members who are a perfect match.
Aside from the potential matches generated by the site, users can also do a free search. Users are able to adjust their search filters to location proximity, height, age, and similarities. Members can also filter the results by displaying new users, members they have come in contact with, and those who belong to their "Favorites" list. "Wildcard Matches" are also suggested for premium members.
SilverSingles online dating site only allows a premium member to send messages. However, as a free member, you can propose your interest by sending a smile. SilverSingles notifies you either by email, browser, or phone notifications—if you are a premium member—for the messages you receive. You are able to turn this off if you want to. Those with free membership can also add users to their "Favorites" list. However, note that SilverSingles doesn't offer a video-chat feature yet.
This dating site only features at least 8 suggested matches at a time. This shows that there are not many users who are active on the website, contrary to what SilverSingles advocate on their page.
