Friends of mine had success with Elite Singles. One got married, the other is in a long term relationship. Both thought that their matches were good, dating prior to meeting The One, they met people who became friends, or that they had an interesting evening with.
A male friend of mine told me that he goes on Bumble because the women in their 50s are queuing up for you and it's easy to find casual relationships I went on Ourtime in January, met someone in the March and we are still together.
