Actually, one of my female friends 55yo decided to try a few of the online dating services and thinks it may work OK. She has had some online contact and phone calls, but no date yet, by her choice. It seems that some places do more screening than others and different places have different crowds.
She's had the most luck so far with eHarmony. She says it's a pain to sign up with all the questions, but that may be a good filter after all. Last we spoke she had good online conversations with one guy and a phone call is the next step.
One of the funniest things I heard was that one guy called her for the first time to discuss a possible date, and while he's talking to her, he's multitasking, typing away on his PC, with the occasional pause in the conversation. And she's thinking, this is a first conversation to impress someone? I can see why some of these super nerds can't even get dates from dating services. Basic social skills.
