Nurturing a safe environment
Our Silversurfers community is designed to foster friendships, based on trust, honesty, integrity and loyalty and is underpinned by these values.
We don't tolerate swearing, and reserve the right to remove any posts which we feel may offend others... let's keep it friendly!
One wanted to exploit my sexual instincts went on holiday then backed off saying he was mending things with a previous female ... the other politely told me we had nothing in common yet the site said he was 70% compatible with me.
After some thought I read the small print and was disgusted as obviously those on one of the other sites could not reply ... they are linked with 12 other sites ....... thelovelab.co.uk. dating.telegraph.co.uk, encountersdating.co.uk, dating .classicfm.co.uk , www.sagadating, datingbelfast telegraph.co.uk, datingweekly.co.uk,datingwomanandhome.com, dating.womansweekly.com, www.primaloves.co.uk, www.countryloving.co.uk,www.mysinglefriend.com,
So now I will avoid all those sites so perhaps they did me favour ... either way I complained told them to cancel my sub after I canceled the renewal and delete my profile after I deleted my photos. as I felt badly let down as when I joined it was not made clear to me about all the other sites. I felt deceived and they did as I asked .... sad fact is many others will find the same problem
I also noticed on the local area choice this was also duplicated.
If you are also on other magazine related dating sites they all seem to match one another as to choice.
For example , you may contact someone who you think is a user of the Silversurfers site ,and not get a response as they subscribe to one of the other sites.
I foolishly have paid for a year , but will withdraw everything coming up to the time of renewal it shows how farcical things are.
I think that if you read the T&Cs for using the Silversurfers Dating site you will find that it comes under the "umbrella" of The Dating Lab Ltd along with all the following sites:
"Network Site(s)" means one of the following dating Sites provided by TDL: www.thelovelab.co.uk, www.encountersdating.co.uk, dating.classicfm.co.uk, www.sagadating.co.uk, dating.newscientist.com, www.soultosoul.co.uk, www.lovearts.com, www.silversurfersdating.com, dating.belfasttelegraph.co.uk, www.newlysingledating.co.uk, dating.cyclingweekly.co.uk, dating.womanandhome.com, dating.womansweekly.com, www.primaloves.co.uk, www.country-loving.co.uk and www.mysinglefriend.com;
This probably explains why people who have joined more than one of the sites will have profiles that appear twice (or more times) when you do a local search for compatible partners. The way I have interpreted the small print is that this engenders a greater choice of people in your area. I assume that if you belong to, for example, Silversurfers and Encounters Dating and you get a message from someone, you can only respond to that message via the website that they have used/belong to. So perhaps things aren't as farcical as you first thought. You could also contact Silversurfers and ask what their policy is - they should be helpful. I'm not a member but I contacted The Telegraph Dating site about a very dubious/suspicious sounding profile ( 60+ year old male wanting to meet a young mother with young children) and they replied instantly and the profile quickly disappeared so they are not all out just to grab your money - they do have a reputation to live up to. Hope this helps! ๐
So any romantically inclined lady living in East Anglia, who has own transport, ideally with red hair, green eyes and endless legs, who wishes the attention of a hopefully amusing and interesting gentleman, kindly indicate herein their intentions and I shall respond with the necessary arrangements to meet.
I have been match dot com twice for short spells and first time nothing but fakes contacting me then 2nd second time he like me had just joined but just been widowed weeks before so much as he was lovely male easy going and would do anything for me ... he had plenty of baggage and boxes to unpack as she was spender and bought everything twice for that new home they might have so he was living in rented house full of boxes ... no future there sadly.
And I do not live in East Anglia ... boo hoo
I am new here.

Maybe will dip my toe in the water again, but always feel that any photo of me looks yuk!
I have considered joining as well but feel that there are so many people out there who either lie or exaggerate in their profiles that I just cannot be bothered to sort out the wheat from the chaff ๐ I've read so many men's profiles whose photos show a wrinkly, saggy face with a bald head and they want to meet a woman at least 20 years younger, who is slim, fit, a cordon-bleu chef, great gardener, linguist etc etc ............ and gentlemen, before you you start jumping up and down, shaking your fists, I'm sure that there are also women who exaggerate their attributes as well.
