Vibrant Nation Free Report Gives Expert Advice About Online Dating for Women Over 50

Louisville, KY, October 28, 2012 --(PR.com)-- Once, online dating was considering the sphere of younger singles and early adopters, but all that has changed. "Online dating has become ordinary and expected among women and men over 50," says sexual health expert and Vibrant Nation author Dr. Pepper Schwartz. In fact, today, singles in their 50s and 60s are actually at the forefront the online dating trend, reports the Huffington Post. One factor fueling this trend: the rising divorce rate among the over-50 crowd. Women over 50 rediscovering all that life has to offer after a late-in-life divorce now view online dating as a smart strategy for boosting their chances of finding what they want in a romantic relationship.

On VibrantNation.com, the leading online community for women over 50, members know: Once a woman gets older and is no longer in school, and especially if she works full time and has other obligations, her opportunities to meet someone are limited. So, why not up the odds with online dating?

Consider this: at leading dating site eHarmony.com, singles 50 and older are one of the fastest growing groups among its over 33 million users worldwide. At the popular dating site Match.com, it’s a similar story: 25 percent of its members are between 50 and 65. Boomers on Match.com have grown 89 percent in the last five years, site officials told USA Today, including 71 percent after a divorce and 11 percent who were widowed.

The real question then is not whether women over 50 should utilize dating sites, but rather, can single women over 50 looking for a relationship afford not to hop on the online dating bandwagon? What’s stopping them?

At Vibrant Nation, some midlife women express concerns about online dating such as: How can I gauge chemistry online? How can I tell whether a potential match is misrepresenting himself in his profile? Should I lie about my age in my own profile - and how else can I improve my chances of connecting with age-appropriate men?
