Launched in 2002 (originally as PrimeSingles.net, rebranded as SilverSingles in 2011), SilverSingles is operated by Spark Networks GmbH, a leading company in niche, serious-dating platforms. Headquartered in Lehi, Utah, it serves mature adults seeking meaningful relationships through a platform tailored for those aged 50 and above. The service’s standout feature is its lengthy personality questionnaire, designed around the Five Factor Model, which powers its matching algorithm—similar to eHarmony but simplified for ease of use. Users receive a small batch of matches daily, reducing dating fatigue and supporting focused interactions. Premium membership unlocks full messaging, access to the mobile app, and compatibility insights. SilverSingles is praised for its clean interface and mature user base, making it a welcoming environment for those re-entering the dating scene later in life. The platform’s pricing sits in the mid-range compared to peers, offering one subscription tier across multiple durations. Whether newly divorced or new to online dating, mature singles find SilverSingles offers an intentional, credible pathway to real connection.
