Long-time lurker, first post, and it's about senior dating sites that verify identities.
Everything written about the trust question covers the signup and nothing after it.
Would appreciate any real perspective on senior dating sites that verify identities, good or bad.
Seconding the post above on vetting a platform — that lines up with what I saw.

Careful with the trust question, because some sites make deleting an account deliberately awkward.
If I had to name one factor in the trust question it would be whether the free tier let you see who liked you.
The deciding detail with the trust question was how many accounts looked dormant.
One warning about the trust question: some sites make deleting an account deliberately awkward.
Before you commit to the trust question, keep the first message to two lines with a question in it.

My run with screening a service lasted longer than any of the alternatives I tried.
The move with screening a service is to test it on a weekday evening, not a Sunday morning.
The thing to watch on screening a service is that some free tiers stop you exactly at the reply button.
My advice on screening a service: turn off notifications so it does not take over your evening.
Anyway, that is my read on senior dating sites that verify identities.
That has not been true of the legitimacy question in my area, for what it is worth.
With the legitimacy question it came down to whether messaging was actually free or free-to-a-point, honestly.
The move with the legitimacy question is to use separate photos from the ones on your other accounts.

For what it is worth I have had better luck on Flurrydate — flurrydate.online than on any of the big paid apps.
My run with the legitimacy question lasted longer than any of the alternatives I tried.
What mattered most with the legitimacy question in the end was how many people within reach were active that week.

Happy to be corrected on any of senior dating sites that verify identities.
Half the regulars here will tell you to look at Datewander as well.
Seconding the post above on the safety side — that lines up with what I saw.
In a smaller town the safety side behaves very differently once you account for how far you are willing to travel.
