Not Honest Not Fair
July 19, 2020

This site is not to be trusted. They don't have that many people who join. The matches appear to be pulled randomly out of a hat. They bill anually and entice membership with a low monthly fee. They debited my card $179 and after 2 weeks I tried to cancel that is when I found out they don't do refunds. I joined and in my first week I received 38 recommendations and only 1 was a true match. The 2nd week I noticed the same pattern, that is when I decided to cancel my membership.

I joined this website several years ago, hoping to meet more people in their 50s and up. What they don't tell you is that this site is owned or partnered with match.com. So although you post your profile here, you may get "matched" to men who are in their 30s. Even if you put down your desired age range as "50-60". Aggghhh! I don't want to date men who are young enough to be my sons.
BTW--- did you know that some men lie when they post a photo? I met someone who was 50 lbs. heavier than in his photo, and had been that way for years. I am not knocking his weight. I used to be VERY heavy. But tell the truth, for the love of God. I'm going to find out when I meet you, anyway.

Silversingles UGLY
May 30, 2022

Seems like an endless parade pf highly unattractive men - I guess attractive men don't need a dating site. But really? If you went to a lab for mutants you couldn't find uglier people. Should have checked review before I plunked down 90 my bucks
Ug!

Poorly maintained
May 11, 2022

There are a lot of profiles to see, but they dont give you the option to search them. Yoyu are sent a certain number of profiles to review and they dont always fit your settings. Each morning when i log on, i get between 6 and 14 "smiles eithin a couple of minutes. Most are just flat out fake profiles. The list their email address in their name, or have their phone number in text in the picture. Very typical scam approaches.
I even got several pictures of a 20 ish blonde whos profile said 62 and black. Help center just replies with a canned message that says dont dhare information.
There are very few people that will even respond. I did meet one nice lady but she was already commited.

... and there's no way out! I filled out a required profile to see who their clientele is as I may want to date in the future. Not only could I not see any profiles, they published mine and men keep sending me messages I cannot read BECAUSE I DIDN'T SIGN UP! I have been trying to reach them for weeks to take my profile down as I AM NOT A CLIENT. They cannot be reached. Seriously. Try it. They won't even let me unsubscribe from getting these emails. This is some kind of sinister operation.

First time I tried 3 months Premium Membership on Silver Singles for AUD269.95. And when it's nearly expired, they will direct debit my card. But because it didn't have any credit in it, so they couldn't take it. I've been scammed few times before, so I really don't want to happened again. After thinking for about couple months, I've decided to extend my Premium Membership again for the same amount. They've approved it within the next day and sent me a confirmation email saying welcoming me back and thanking me for my purchased but it didn't stated the periode. After nearly 3 weeks they blocked me so I can't see the members photos or message them! This is not right!

The Worst!
May 4, 2023

The worst, which is fine... Live and learn. However, even when I tried to delete my profile and erase ever bit of my presence, the system wouldn't allow me to do anything. I finally had to call and request someone to delete everything. That part of the support was quick and painless but soooo not worth it. I should have paid attention to the reviews. Pay attention to mine.

Horrible
August 30, 2019

I wrote a long review - they would not let me post! I gave 100 characters the first Time they would not post my review! I'm out 167.00 - customer service is horrible, I think
From another country - why do I have to have 100 characters to send a review? I have been scammed please tell me when you will accept my review!

Ladies run!
September 21, 2021

I met a felon. A trust fund baby who stiffed me for his very expensive lunch. The men are conservative Trumpers, old and ugly. You will do far better meeting younger men on other sites. Creeps get creepier with age, The company is a German company not an American company. Company refuses refunds. Oh and they repeatedly changed my profile without consulting me and would not stop.

Bait and Switch
February 2, 2019

Seems like a Church of Scientology scam. You are bombarded with an interrogation of who you are, which takes nearly a half hour to complete, and then the drop the bomb of outrageous paid membership prices. I tried this with one other site a year ago, and they scammed me, started debiting my debit card right and left until I was left with no choice to cancel the card. Do not pay to date, especially online, because if you do you are just accepting the world's oldest profession and I suspect these sites are owned by men, who are welcome to meet me in the ring, who get their rocks off trying to get others to jerk off to their scams...

Scammed
December 1, 2019

Some jerk romanced me with emails because he said he couldn't get a picture on his profile. So I made-up a fake email address and man the jerk really knew how to romance a woman. Until he asked me about my BANK... What the hey, scam city. I shut down everything, and forfeited all the money I paid for membership. Silversingle is a haven people ready to scam you. Stay away from that web/App.

Scammers!
August 8, 2022

Don't waste your money on Silver Singles. It's infested with scammers. I wanted to stay local and keep getting SMILES/LIKES from far away as LA and I live in New England. Pay a little more and join a better dating site. I wish I would have done my home work before joining. Asked for a refund and never heard back!
The site is swimming with SCAMMERS waiting for bait.

This app looks good from the front. There's no interactivity except in-site mailing. Also I was catfished by someone pretty hard who steals pictures from the internet. I think this person actually works for the site to generate interest in procuring a membership.

All you can see are messages, matches and visitors. No Chat Feature. The matches aren't even close to the filters. Most of the matches are from out of state.

Here are the actual Delete instructions
"Delete my account
All of the members with whom you have been in contact will be deleted from your contact list, your messages will be permanently deleted and you will not be able to restore your old profile. We will not be able to refund you the remainder of your membership subscription. To delete your profile, please click here."

They do not give refunds. Don't buy the whole year. It's a bunch of dead profiles. They don't let you delete information out of the profile. What a waste of $239.00

I did a little research before I started and it seemed good so I enrolled for a six month membership. Almost all of the matches have been geographically way too far away. Then every time I tried to see something my Malware warned me site blocked due to Spam and my Windows warns me it is not a secure connection. STAY AWAY from this one.

I seriously doubt that most of the profiles are real. Many of the replies or messages are written with a very slight English mistake like one reply I received spelled "Dear" as "Der" and then another one wrote "yes I would love to meet someone AT the neighborhood". Whenever I see very subtle but clear English mistakes, I am almost sure that the writer is not a native English speaker and is certainly not in my area.

The Worst
April 4, 2021

90% of the women don't post photos.
90% of the remaining 10% post 1 pic and they shouldn't have.
That means about. 1% might be reasonably attractive. Now what % of them are within 25 miles? Answer: 0.
Worst site ever.

Horrible!
March 18, 2019

You will not be able to view photos and your photo will not be seen! If you try to call the 844 number you will be disconnected. The other number they provide is foreign. I am reporting to the BBB maybe that can help prevent others from losing a lot of money.

Waste of money and time
September 26, 2018

After spending a ridiculous amount of time answering questions, you'll discover that you have to pay to get any idea of what the available population is like. After paying, you discover that the population is minuscule and that your payment for 3 months is nonrefundable regardless.
