Over 40 dating sites: Connect with compatible singles on eharmony

by Eharmony Editorial Team June 30, 2022

Dating after 40 has changed a lot since the turn of the century, and online dating means single people of all ages now feel empowered to explore their love lives to the full. The trend towards more people finding a long-term partner later in life has also continued. And with over 4.6 million singles over 40 in Australia alone, there’s more than enough opportunity to find the right person. Here’s how eharmony can make it that easier.

Three reasons why it’s the best time to find love on over 40 dating sites

You’ve probably heard that 40 is the new 30. However, when it comes to dating over 40, we think it’s the best of both worlds. The vitality of youth combined with the wisdom of maturity.

1. You’re more discerning when starting new relationships

40s singles tend to have the benefit of experience when it comes to looking for love, thanks to previous relationships. In other words, you know what you’re looking for in a partner and what your personal red flags are. This means you don’t have to waste as much time and can focus on the people with whom you can build a healthy, happy relationship based on mutual respect.

2. People dating after 40 have more social connections overall

According to a study conducted by the University of Basel in Switzerland, singles over 40 have, on average, larger and more stable social networks than their non-single counterparts.

Which isn’t to say finding someone means giving up your friends: quite the opposite, to date over 40s means you’re well-positioned to meet other interesting singles in your age range through your social connections.

3. You’re more secure in your own life

Dating when you’re young can be an uncertain experience. Personal finances, lifestyle fluxes and career goals can often take priority and put undue strain on budding romances. People dating after 40 tend to have more stability, with a more settled lifestyle. This empowers you to date on your terms as well as make better decisions in relationships.

Why people over 40 on dating sites turn to eharmony
