The number of online dating site users 55 and over rose 19.4 percent last year, according to Nielsen/Net Ratings, a service that measures and analyzes Internet audiences. Recently online personals attracted more than 1.3 million Web-surfing seniors ages 65-plus. People are living longer and healthier and have disposable incomes. Online dating allows them to get to know a great deal of people they probably wouldn’t have interacted with before, and with less effort and less time. When Judsen Culbreth divorced at age 49 after 20 years of marriage she thought online dating would never be an option. Now she’s the author of “The Boomers’ Guide to Online Dating” . The 55-year-old Culbreth got the idea for the book after marrying 57-year-old Walter Kirkland, whom she met online. They dated for two-and-a-half years and have been married for three. By telling the couple’s story in her book, Culbreth wanted to encourage other “mature” daters who might be skeptical. “I found him. The man I prayed for,” she writes in the introduction. “We’re extraordinarily compatible,” she adds, “and we have online dating to thank for this fortuitous match.” Culbreth says their second date sealed their fate when they realized the many things they shared in common. “I had thought it (online dating) was more of a fringe activity,” Culbreth says, noting she turned to cyberspace only after finding little success looking for dates on her own or through friends. She thought it might be okay after overhearing a “bunch of high-powered women” her age chatting about it positively. Culbreth says Baby Boomers in particular are a good match for online dating because they like to stick to their own kind, she says. “We love people who get our cultural references.” If you don’t know who the Beatles are, don’t apply. “We’re very insular.” “I met a lot of nice women (online) and eventually met Judsen,” says Walter Kirkland, who is twice divorced. “We found we had a tremendous amount in common, and would never have met in a million years if not for this service.” The trend is fueled by the fact that more seniors are willing to get divorced after decades of marriage than in years past, and by medical advances that allow people to live longer and healthier lives. Yes, including Viagra. Seniors are considered to be “savvy” daters who know to look beyond a photograph or a person’s physical appearance. “Seniors see the value of compatibility testing, and they know what it takes to keep people bonded over time,” Houran adds. “They have the life experience to know the physical passion ebbs and flows.” With IQ Web’s new business entrepreneur and Internet guru Jedd Canty as chief marketing officer the focus will include seniors. Mr. Canty has worked for some of the biggest players in the Internet market including but not limited to eDiets.com (DIET) (www.eDiets.com), where he managed their email marketing.
