Silver Surfers Dating 50 Plus Dating

• Why is there a proliferation of silver surfers
  dating sites on the internet? What has been the
  biggest change in the online dating industry?
• First of all, what is a silver surfer?
• For most people a silver surfer is one of the
  baby boom generation, aged 50 who is able and
  willing to use the internet to buy goods online,
  to book hotels or holidays.

• They are also now increasingly using the
  internet, and in particular the silver surfers
  dating market to find love, or at least
  companionship a key word for many silver
  surfers.

The growth of the internet dating industry

• The baby boomers are now extending their
  activities into the silver surfers dating market
  or the 50 plus dating market.
•  
• Whatever you call it those who are 50 plus are
  getting more and more active in the over 50
  dating scene.
• Traditionally personal ads of people looking for
  love could be found mostly in newspapers and
  magazines, but the internet has changed all that.

5

• Now there is a multitude of sites providing an
  online dating service which has grown into a
  worldwide industry worth more than 2 billion per
  year.

6

• With more and more people getting used to
  communicating in a virtual world, on desktops,
  laptops and increasingly on smartphones, it is
  hardly surprising that online dating, and in
  particular dating for the over fifties has
  largely replaced the old fashioned printed
  personal ads.
• What has been less expected is that an increasing
  number of people using the internet to look for
  dates are in the more mature age groups.
• This service is not just for the people in their
  twenties to forties, who have been the
  traditional users of personal ads.

7

• Recent surveys have shown an increase of nearly
  40 in the number of people using the internet in
  the over 50 dating group in the last three years,
  while some companies have reported a doubling of
  more mature singles looking for a companion in
  the same period.
•  
• So what are the causes of this online explosion?

The rise of the internet savvy baby boomer

• It is one of the great clichés of our time that
  children are far more adept at learning computer
  and internet skills than their parents.
• The explosion of social media such as Facebook
  and Twitter and the rise of the smartphone,
  making the internet instantly accessible
  anywhere, have offered a huge range of
  opportunities for the young.
•  
• But while the social media sites may be dominated
  by the young, the older generation have been
  quietly using their computers and the internet
  for purposes which suit them.

9

• They are buying books and electronic goods from
  Amazon, talking to friends and family home and
  abroad, using Skype, printing digital photos or
  sending them to family members by email, booking
  rail or air tickets at the touch of a button, or
  searching for weekend breaks by the sea.
• Armed with all these skills these mature silver
  surfers are equipped to enter the silver surfers
  dating industry.

The rise of the affluent baby boomer

• A key characteristic of many of the silver
  surfers, in their 50s and 60s, is that they have
  money.
• They are not fabulously rich but many will own a
  substantial property, often with the mortgage
  paid off. If in their 50s and early 60s they are
  likely to be at their earnings peak.
•  
• Their children have probably grown up,
  drastically reducing some of their financial
  commitments.
• If the children have gone the silver surfers will
  have more time to do what they want rather than
  being a taxi service for their children.

11

• If they are already retired then many of them
  will be receiving substantial pensions, which,
  with the pensions crisis engulfing us, are likely
  to be greater than the pensions received by
  younger generations when their time comes.
•  
• All this affluence means that the silver surfers
  are in a position to spend money on themselves
  expensive holidays abroad, good quality dining
  out, purchase of the latest electronic wonder, or
  by joining up with the silver surfers dating
  market, instantly paid for online using a credit
  card.

12
Silver surfers living alone

• But are people happy with all these opportunities
  if they are alone and have no one to share these
  experiences? Increasing numbers of people over 50
  are living alone.
• In the last United States census 37 of people
  over 50 were found to be unmarried mostly
  divorced, and these figures are matched in the UK
  and in other parts of Europe.
• Add to that those who are widowed and you have a
  substantial number of older people living alone.
• With life expectancy also increasing someone in
  their early 50s has the potential to have decades
  more of life. Do the silver surfers want to spend
  all that time alone?
•  

13

• They may have great and busy social lives, but
  they may also lack that special someone to share
  all these opportunities which they now have
  available.
