SinglesOver50 reports Senior Citizens are flocking to the Internet for love

LAS VEGAS, Nev./EWORLDWIRE/Feb. 12, 2008 --- Valentine's Day has been hi-tech for a while, but now senior citizens are embracing technology to find love online. The Website, http://www.SinglesOver50.com, helps these folks meet up and make their match.

SinglesOver50.com Principal Hal Meyer explained: "Online communication, not e-commerce, is the huge new trend. Social networking is really taking off among all age groups, but especially among seniors.

"It is estimated that 50 million adults over the age of 50 have Internet access, and online dating is a natural for them as many are getting divorced and re-starting their dating and social lives. Senior citizens are flocking to the net, and many of them are interested in online romance."

Meyer continued: "Women in particular are gaining in online influence. Studies also show that women are achieving parity with men in terms of the online population. This wasn't always the case.

:Five years ago, there were fifty percent more men online than women. But now, the Internet has become much more mainstream and women feel more comfortable with the technology, and each sex is using the net in roughly the same numbers."

SinglesOver50.com provides an easy solution, with free signup and other user friendly features. SinglesOver50.com is an affiliate of one of the largest dating networks in the world. The Web site clearly explains its many features, and the free signup is only a one-page form.

He concluded: "Analysts have examined the demographics of baby boomers and have found that a 'silver tsunami' has already started. The baby boomer generation is the healthiest, wealthiest and most wired in the history of our country.

"A surprising number have Mac, laptop and mobile devices. These senior singles have shown a strong interest in meeting others online, to explore friendship and romance.

 Companionship is a basic human instinct, and we believe the confluence of these above factors is producing something of social significance."
