A Place for Seniors: Fighting Loneliness Through Connection

Online Dating Against Loneliness

Loneliness is a health risk – numerous studies have proven this. Experiencing loneliness in old age is particularly painful. Scientific surveys show that people in their senior years are often affected by isolation.

Many older adults lose not only a partner but also friends through bereavement. Research indicates that quite a few seniors eventually have no close friendships left at all. By that point, isolation begins with its negative psychological and physical consequences. A shocking research finding shows that lonely individuals tend to die earlier.

That loneliness is detrimental to health is also well known to the numerous dating agencies and contact forums that have been experiencing a boom online for years. More and more people are turning to the internet to search for a partner and social connections. According to recent surveys, there are now as many as 10 million people in Germany alone doing so.

Are Seniors Overlooked in Online Dating?

• The websites of most dating agencies and contact forums typically promote a youthful image. Their advertising almost exclusively features young couples, leaving no space for seniors. Moreover, older adults often feel out of place on dating apps, especially since there is a strong desire at this stage of life for a serious partner search.
• We take a different approach and reach out to people from all generations. Images of older individuals have their rightful place alongside youthful ones here. The senior psychologists at Consonance (Gleichklang) know that when it comes to matchmaking and building friendships, seniors are the most important target group for the future, given their growing share of the overall population. Consonance therefore aims to put an end to the systematic marginalization of seniors.
• With our matchmaking service for senior singles, we ensure that older singles have excellent opportunities for successful dating and social networking.
