Mature dating websites for the over sixties – Are you catching up on missed opportunities?

We read with interest the latest news from Australia…senior retirement facilities are becoming hotbeds of passion as many senior citizens are enjoying active sex lives ..often with more than one partner.

The article published on 12th July 2010 shares research and findings from care homes in Australia:

Senior citizens in Australia’s old-age homes and retirement facilities are leading active but ‘risky’ sex lives and most of them have more than one active partner.

A research in Australia, which surveyed 320 men and women, has found that sexual activity among the 82-87 age group is “reasonably common”, while online dating by people over 50 was also growing.

However, experts from the Council on the Ageing say that the seniors need to be schooled in safe sex, and have called for workshops and guideline policies to be implemented into aged-care and retirement facilities to help staff deal with “promiscuous behaviour”, The Age reported.

Old-age homes have reported a jump in the number of over 65s leading an active sex life, including multiple partners, and they were more likely to engage in risky sexual behaviour than their children, Council spokeswoman Anne-Maire Elias said.

“They were a generation who missed out on all the safe-sex education,” she said. “We love that these older people are sexually active but, with an increase in Viagra and multiple partners, aged-care facilities should welcome safe-sex workshops for their residents.”

Ken Gleeson, a behavioural consultant, who is scheduled to publish a document titled “Sexuality in the Elderly: Intimacy and Sexual Policy”, said staff tended to put sexual behaviour among the elderly in the “too hard” category.

“There is a widespread belief among workers that the elderly should not be participating in sexual activities,” he said.

A recent survey from the dating site Senior Dating UK shows that the over 50’s are the fastest growing users of online dating sites. The data compiled by Senior Dating UK showed that online dating is losing its taboo’s and is now mainstream for so many people in the UK. Commenting on the findings from the survey, Nichola Hatcher believes that there are four factors behind the growth of silver surfers dating online:

1) The over fifties are one of the wealthiest segments of society with meaningful more disposable income and less constrained to try new things;

2) The roll out of broadband making it easier for Seniors to get good fast and reliable internet access;

3) Many seniors are connecting to stay in touch with children and grandchildren and are connecting up to avoid being left behind;

4) The increase in high quality dating sites such as Senior Dating UK providing safe secure and reliable online dating services targeting at Senior Citizens dating online;

The advice from Senior Dating UK to make the most of your online dating experiences is:

1.Attend some social events – get out and about and meet some new people. Don’t just rely on the web – keep your social skills brushed up – there are plenty of events to choose from all year round and even singles’ holidays (so you can get away from winter when things start getting nasty);

2. Kickstart your online dating today – if you’re not already dating online, now’s the time to start if you want to give yourself plenty of time to find someone. Looking at up to 3 different seniors dating agency sites will give you a good idea as to what’s out there. You don’t have to pay for all of them, but setting up a free profile will help you gauge the level of response you get.

3. Prepare your dating profile and make sure its accurate and reflects the real you – this is a good time to check how you show up on your profile, add some up-to-date pictures, write about exciting things you’ve been doing.

4.Plan ahead to make yourself feel desirable in the coming months. Autumn is traditionally a period of less exercise and lots of drinking and eating now that you don’t have to show up on a beach!. If this sounds like you, then why not head it off at the pass? Whatever it is that makes you feel sexy and desirable – joining a gym, take up a dancing class (with the added bonus of meeting new people), – get yourself into the habit of doing it now.

5.Fill your diary – book events and get out and about – it’s not all about how you look. More often that not, confidence comes from how you feel (though most of us tend to feel good when we believe we look good). This time of year is great for starting a new hobby or attending an evening class, a book club, etc. These are all good ways of meeting new people, learning a new skill or developing an existing one. Apart from introducing you to new social groups, learning a new skill is a great confidence booster – especially if it’s something you’ve always wanted to do and never thought you could.

Make sure you are part of the online senior dating growth and find a partner online for friendship and romance.

Member Query of the week

Over the past week we have seen an increase in our members querying the 3-D secure code page that is presented to them when making a payment. As we know, all Internet transactions that want to provide their customers with a secure way of making a payment online now have this page implemented into their system.

For those who are unfamiliar as to what exactly this system is, 3-D Secure protocol is something we use developed by Visa to improve the security of Internet payments. We ensure any customers who query protocol are told that the service named Verified by Visa as you may know is one of the safest methods of payment. MasterCard has also adapted a similar protocol called MasterCard SecureCode that we use. Both are designed to allow authentication of cardholders by their Issuers at participating merchants. The objective is to benefit all participants by providing Issuers the ability to fully authenticate cardholders through the use of a password during Internet purchases, reducing the likelihood of fraudulent usage of Visa and MasterCard credit cards and improving overall transaction performance which is something that puts thier mind at ease.

The combined effect of ease and flexibility of implementation, secure transmission of account information, and reduced disputes offers the following benefits for all parties involved:

* Increased consumer confidence, which leads to increased sales.
* Increased card acceptance through better merchant confidence in accepting international transactions
* Reduced cardholder disputes, exception handling, retrievals, chargebacks, re-presentments, write-offs, and associated handling costs

Members that query this page simply want to know what the page is and if completed grants them immediate access as a full member to the site which is the case.

Since having the 3-D Secure Code Page on our payment system, not only has it reduced our chargeback rate, prevented fraudulent transactions but has also provided our members and partners with peace of mind.

We think this is a great way for you to be confident the person you are chatting to is what they really look like with a good up to date photo. We have lots more new updates to come and will share them with you as soon as we can.
