EliteSingles is the premier app for successful, well-educated singles. Because it often takes time to cultivate success, sophistication, and acumen, many of our members have achieved an age where some hook-up sites seem a little frivolous. While we don’t set a special age restriction on EliteSingles, we are a natural draw for mature adults.
Mature Dating Site and App
So, why does EliteSingles appeal to a slightly older membership base? Our site is structured to appeal to individuals at a stage in life where they’re looking for something serious. All members complete a psychological compatibility test, which is geared toward pairing like-minded individuals whose qualities match each other’s stated desires.
Members are able to sign up for a basic program and try out the site before committing to a Premium plan, which allows members a whole host of upgraded features. Instead of being shown anyone who matches their geographic boundaries, age range, and gender preference, EliteSingles goes several layers deeper. It’s really the ideal site for someone who is at a stage in life when they’re looking to celebrate their accomplishments with a significant other.
The EliteSingles Community
Who are the EliteSingles members? As the name implies, our members have distinguished themselves in some way. Some have achieved career success. Others have distinguished themselves in academic or athletic endeavors. This is not because we exclude people based on wealth or income. Many members don’t fit any particular mold. Our site and app cater to people who have achieved a certain level of success in some way or another.
While you only have to be over the age of 18 to sign up, most of our members are between 30 and 55. About 12% of our members are over the age of 55. While we do have younger users (18 to 24), only about 8% fall into that category.
80% of EliteSingles members have a four-year degree or more. That’s about twice the national average. If education and maturity are important to you, EliteSingles is the dating site for you.
Online Dating on EliteSingles
Many of our members have never been on a site like EliteSingles before — mainly because there are no sites like EliteSingles. The EliteSingles dating experience is unique. New members are taken through a psychological analysis test. This allows our algorithm to match members based on personality.
Once you complete the test, it will take you a few minutes to set up your profile. But you shouldn’t just rush to fill in the fields with words. Think about what you’re really looking for on EliteSingles and what brought you here. The best profiles come across as sincere and tell the reader something that a stranger wouldn’t know about you. For example, “My greatest accomplishment is my two children” tells the reader a lot more about you than “I have two children.”
Age Range
You will also need to consider your dating parameters. As a mature single on EliteSingles, you may want to adjust your age range to within five or ten years of your age. The actual number depends on your comfort level and what you’re looking for. Most of our members prefer to date partners in their peer group. Age can be a really important factor in determining your peers.
Geographic Region
Geography is also a significant parameter for dating. Fifty miles may not seem like a long distance if you’re meeting in the middle, but what happens if you hit it off? You may not want to spend two hours (roundtrip) going on dates. If your work involves a lot of travel, you may not mind long-distance dating. It’s just something you need to consider before you put yourself out there.
Pictures
Just because you’re on an elevated dating platform doesn’t mean that members aren’t going to want to see what you look like. Premium members have the ability to view all of your profile pictures, and this is a place where you can shine. Here are a few tips for choosing pictures.
- Use recent pictures – If you decide to include one you’re nostalgic about, be upfront that it’s an older picture.
- Don’t filter your pictures – It’s often obvious, and it can lead to a bad first encounter if you don’t show up looking like some perfected version of yourself. You eventually want to meet some of these members, so don’t sabotage yourself in advance.
- Post several images – Members are going to want to see you in several different lights. Here’s what a good set of photos looks like: a headshot, a full-body shot, one where you’re dressed up, one in casual clothes, and a picture of you playing sports or in a natural setting.
- Don’t post anything you wouldn’t want your family to see (because they might) – Of course, we have guidelines that regulate photos. However, your neighbors, friends, and family may also be on the site. If you don’t want them seeing you a certain way, don’t post the picture.

Dating for Mature Singles
You may not have thought of yourself as a mature single until recently. Maybe the last time you dated, you were quite a bit younger, or perhaps you’ve just decided to say goodbye to frivolous dating. Mature dating works a little differently than dating in your teens and twenties. Knowing some of the key differences can improve your chances of success.
Things Move at a Slower Pace
As we mature, our time becomes a little more precious. It makes us a little more cautious about going on dates with an unpromising prospect. Be ready for your match to take a little time to evaluate you before committing to a date. Your EliteSingles Premium membership allows for unlimited messaging within the app. Consider it a good way to narrow your search without expending your most valuable resource: time.
Mature Singles Play the Long Game
Do one-night stands happen on EliteSingles? Of course, they do, but it’s the exception and not the rule. Because mature singles are looking for compatibility, they usually want to explore their minds a little more before committing to physical interactions.
Mature Members Tend to Be More Independent
Mature EliteSingles members tend to be proud of their accomplishments, which they achieved before meeting you. They want someone to share their lives with, not have someone come in and take over. Chances are, you feel the same way.
EliteSingles Members Think in Terms of Safety
Some of our members are well-off and successful, which is why they’re using one of the safest platforms in the online dating space. However, even though we routinely review member accounts for signs of misuse or fraud, bad actors are aware of the composition of our membership. Remember the basics:
- Don’t disclose your contact information before you’re ready to meet.
- Talk on the phone or through video chat before meeting in person.
- Meet in a public place.
- Tell a friend or family member where you’re meeting and who you intend to meet.
- If you go to a second location, let someone know.
- Do not disclose financial information to someone you haven’t met.
EliteSingles Matching Algorithm
Our algorithm is based on your psychological profile and your dating preferences. While most mature singles dating sites use something similar to match members, our proprietary dating matching algorithm takes a much more in-depth look at members.
There may be hundreds of singles in your area who fit the gender and age range you’re looking for. However, only a certain percentage of those members will have similar relationship goals. Of the remaining singles, an even smaller group will have similar interests. Ask yourself this. Would you rather sift through hundreds of profiles and go on dozens of failed dates to find someone special? Or would you rather match with a small selection of members who are looking for the same thing that you are and have similar likes and dislikes? If you choose the latter, you’re going to love EliteSingles.
Success Stories
We love it when ex-members tell us about how they met are their platform. It’s honestly the best part of this business.
John and Cindy met on the platform, felt an instant connection, and exchanged numbers. The only obstacle was that they didn’t live in the same state. After a few months of video calls, she took a week-long trip to Denver and they went on 17 dates — that’s not a typo — 17!
Tina and Adam, on the other hand, lived seven minutes from one another but, as so often happens, never met before they found each other on the platform. Their romantic relationship started with a simple dinner. Their energies matched so well that Tina invited Adam to watch her in a Crossfit competition. Adam showed up in full fanboy attire and cheered his new partner on to victory.
