(Online Dating Industry Journal) Retirees in Australia are finding a new form of entertainment in droves - dating. Whether using dating agencies or online dating, those over the age of 60 aren't shy about searching for love.
Austrailian newspaper The Sunday Mail recently tackled this issue. From the article:
"An estimated 10,000 people aged 60-plus are registered with dating agencies in southeast Queensland – with thousands more signed up... Sharron Healey, who manages Brisbane's Face to Face agency, said 25 per cent of her 25,000 members were older than 60, compared with just 10 per cent 10 years ago."
The growth of seniors using dating services is in line with the growing number of seniors in the United States turning to agencies and online mediums to find love. This number isn't being ignored by online dating services, which are doing more senior advertising to attract retired people looking for love.
