Julie
From a male perspective I have to say that we are not losers and liars. I had joined the site with for the same reason that yourself and others, to find a compatible mate.. It seems that a few rotten apples are taking that opportunity away from myself. I now realize why contact is so difficult to achieve!! There are respectable men out there!!
Yes, there are some good ones. If only they had all their teeth. They thing just because they are MEN we should be panting.
ONE OF THE WORST!!!!!.......
I am a very attractive woman over 60 who went on Our Time....I, also, look 15 years younger than my age....Out of hundreds of e-mails NOT ONE suitable man to even date!!!....99.90% are unattractive losers!....The nice ones are completely unattractive to anyone....Sorry, but that's the truth!....One attractive man is afraid to meet me and only does phone calls! I met him on another website over a year ago and he is still the same...Surely, someone out there who is reading this can start a DECENT website for the over 60 set that are truly looking for a relationship?....There should be certain criteria that these men and women should meet so that we are not deceived by a lot of these undesirables...
If I had the money I would start one myself!!!!
I am SURE there are many men and women who are truly looking for a meaningful relationship...WHERE ARE THEY?.....
Please be careful using OurTime. They do not provide sufficient information to ensure your privacy. They do not alert you properly to the information seen by other users. I brought my concern to their attention immediately upon my becoming aware and I removed my profile. I requested a refund and they completely refused. My privacy has been compromised and they did nothing.
I also had many problems with Our Time. I emailed them and talked to them on the phone. They said the'd look into the problems, but nothing changed. They never even got back to me, other than to tell me how to block another user. I'm convinced that all they care about is making money. If a sex predator, unemployed and/or homeless guy can afford to pay the fees to join, Our Time doesn't do anything about protecting decent clients who are actually looking for a relationship from being prayed upon. I deleted my profile and I will never use any on-line dating site again.
BE VERY CAREFUL PEOPLE. While I'm sure there are some decent people on these sites, trying to find them is like trying to find a needle in a haystack. I've been on several (Eharmony. Match, Seniors Meet) and all I've ever encountered is total losers who probably can't get a date otherwise. They're either looking for sex or for somebody to support them.
Thankyou. Appreciate the warning.
Thank you! So I am not the only one receiving "matches" of disheveled, overweight, scrubby, out of focus photos - must I go on??? It's laughable!

I too am an in shape very attractive senior woman. The men who have contacted me or my "matches" (same ones over and over every day), are really in need of a personal trainer and some good decent taste and manners. I don't feel I am above giving someone a chance but this site is horrendous.
No Problem with this site
Maybe it depends on what area of the country you live in? I'm a quality female. I'm college educated, I own a nice 3 bedroom home that's paid for, I own a nice car that's paid for and I was able to retire at age 58 because I managed my money very well. I'm a decent person, very nice and have a good sense of humor. But I met nothing but losers ... several guys looking for just a quick no strings attached hook-up, several unemployed guys and several homeless guys.
When joining a dating site, I expect that a guy has a place to live, a working vehicle and some kind of steady income to consistently support himself. I don't think that's asking too much.
I'm happy yo know that on-line dating works for some people. It just didn't work for me. I tried Eharmony, Match and Seniors Meet before I tried Our Time. I've given up on on-line dating. If I was meant to be with somebody, we will have to meet the old fashioned way.
Al, as a man, you have very different experiences on these dating sites than women, especially senior women. The ratio of older men to women shrinks exponentially as we age. I just ended my subscription to Match.com because TONS of older men are still looking for much younger women. Those few who aren't fit Kathy's description--most just looking for a "nurse or a purse." Older women are "invisible" because we don't come up in searches, and men simply don't reply to older women if you contact them. I got lots of "Winks" because I'm attractive, so creepy guys (young or old) just troll through photos and don't even bother to read your profile. They just want to see who "bites" on a Wink without even making an effort. I used Match.com when younger and had much different experience, so I know by experience how awful this is for older women. Men rule in the world of Internet dating sites.
Kathy, I would have to agree with you that the best way to meet someone you might really like is "the old fashioned way." Obviously, one has to still be careful and use their head, however, you can tell a lot about someone when you're right there LOOKING at them. Just because we have such ogreat technology at our fingertips doesn't mean it's good for everything.
I had been considering this site, and in the past have tried other sites and, basically my overall experience is that there are too many opportunities for people to play games and deceive when they can be anonymous. Anyway, I suppose it can work for some, but my guess would be that it doesn't for the majority.
I'm glad I saw these reviews. A friend saw this site advertised and thought it might be better, probably because of the age group. I did see men, age 42, so I don't know why the site indicates 50+.
I just signed up for a one month subscription, but I have received no email about my being a member. When I tried to access my account, I was told it did not exist. I'm having bad feelings about this site and regret I decided to join it. Now I'm afraid they will misuse my credit card information.
Is anything honest these days? Remember "Enzyte" with the ads for "Smiling Bob" who had taken this "penis enlargement" pill? Enzyte was a scam, but by the time people starting reporting and suing them, they had made enough money to just pay off the suits and disappear.
Totally worthless!
I'm a high-quality 52-year-old male (whose only failing is a lack of resemblance to the love-child of Brad Pitt and George Clooney--now there's an image for you), and I thought this site would be an improvement over "Plentyoffish."
Wrong! While the pay-only format indeed weeds out many time-wasters, the site itself is a waste of time! Their matching algorithm--if there is one--is a sick joke: I live in New England, yet I get flirts from women in California and Virginia? And my search results occasionally turn up a MAN'S profile among the women's ones! Plus, you can't search by deal-breaking criteria like religion, education, body type, and others...
Anyway, most of the worthwhile women on OurTime are also on PoF (and, ladies, I'm sure the same goes for the men); you still have to screen out losers and users, but it's a free service. (I did buy the PoF upgrade, though, because I value the extra features.)
Don't waste your time and money; OurTime's time is over...
Not true I am also a quality 56 year old male and You can refine your search to your demographic area. You can also specify body type, religion etc. I find it very useful. I have been contacted by dozens of woman (there are lots out there) but havnt found the right one as of yet. Getting close though. Its a good site
Yes--I, too, have been flirted/favorited by numerous women--who live in California, Virginia, Ohio...
I live in Connecticut; draw your own conclusions.
OurTimes sends out flirts to people you have not sent flirts to in order to get more business. If you report this to customer service, all you will get is a "canned reply" saying of course, it is your problem..and that you need to change your username and password. Total rip -off and no phone number listed to contact them either.
Yikes!
I'm glad that I have read the reviews here... Wow now I know why I'm having such a hard time with this ourtime site, sure happy I have not wasted any money
And I'm going to close my profile out when I'm done with this comment...thanks!
amen!! i have looked at the same sexy guy that (flirted) with me 3 weeks ago still cant get a response REALLY! scam
Waste of time and money
You're right. They're either looking for a quick no-strings-attached hook-up (I received several outright requests for sex) or to find somebody to support them. I got lots of flirts without any messages. Some didn't even have profiles ... no photo and just a few items like height, hair color, and eye color. Nobody responded to any of the messages I sent. Nothing but creeps, weirdos and self-absorbed losers. I deleted my profile after 5 days.
Thanks Kathy. Your comments have been a big help to me.
I believe this site as do others 'make-up' connections and flirts and they also do not remover your profile even after your contract is up unless you dig into their site to find how to remove. So many of the profiles are not 'live' anymore. This is the 3rd site I've tried in 3 years and some of the same people are on all of them. Since a lot of them are owned by the same company, I think they merge members so it seems there are so many people on the site.
POP UPS
I have joined Seniors Meet.com but most of the time it is OurTime.com
you are right in everything you say, I have been in touch with the support
group, but at the moment am waiting for a reply. If I do not receive one is there any other way I can reach them?? I am now getting POP UPS when I try to get into the site, asking me to let them in "One Time" I am a senior and not up to all this computer "Lingo" I do not understand the POP UP should I let it in or not?? could they get my email address this way?? I want to cancel my subscription but cannot get into the site, every time I try this damn POP UP appears and I am blocked. Any suggestions?? Also not sure what I was RATING I assume it was the dating site and not YOUR site. If it is your site change it to great, because I have learnt a lot. Cannot believe what an idiot I was to believe all this stuff and that people were basically honest when they were advertising these sites and people. Thank you so much for letting me sound off.

You said it all for me also. There will never be refunds - ever! Wish I had read reviews before buying.
Worst Site Ever...Stay Away!
I joined Our Time for one month without researching anything about it, and I regretted it the following day. I joined at 9pm and I had porn emails in my email inbox by 9am the following morning! Somehow, my personal email address had been either sold to, or stolen by, porn spammers. I know this for a fact because I have had the same email address for nearly ten years and have never had any spam of any kind sent to it ever until the day after I joined Our Time. It's been two weeks since I joined now, and I get porn spam every other day, which horrifies me because I have a young son at home, and I would not want him to see one those emails by accident on my screen.
Save your money and your privacy! Join eHarmony instead, but if you do join Our Time, at least don't use your real email address unless you want to receive nasty porn spam.
upon registration, there is a very hidden place to 'opt out' of them using, selling your email for other promotional spam. I opted out and it didn't matter I still get at least 40 spam emails from other dating sites and other things. They make a lot of money selling your information.
OurTime.com is a SCAM and it SUCKS
OurTime.com is a pure, rotten filthy website. They have ads on the radio right now and I feel sorry for anyone who works with this company before reading the reviews.
Do not put yourself through the hell of dealing with this company for any reason whatsoever. These people are garbage and the owners should be ashamed of themselves for creating such a terrible, unsustainable and worthless business. When the CEO finds himself looking for a job (I have a feeling this will be sooner rather than later), he might not want to mention his work with OurTime.com.
Poor customer service, completely incompetent people and dumber than dogs.
It's just a offshoot of seniorpeoplemee but they rebranded so that you don't feel so old signing upt. I tried it and nothing stood out about it to me either way until I received notification that someone sent a "flirt." Of course one must have the paid membership to view who sent it. I signed up, and there was actually nothing there. For that reason, they've lost me as a participant and I'll not recommend.
thank you for opening my eyes , they say cream of the crop ,are you kidding me?
Stay away!
I am new to Phoenix, saw tons of ads for this site on TV. Decided to try it for "free." But how stupid--you can search on things like height and age, but NOT on religious or political views! Why would I care more about height than values????
The only good news (I think, since I have not checked out my credit cards yet, having joined only a few days ago), my credit card would not go through. 3 perfectly good cards were declined. Now, of course, I am so glad they were--and will be watching my accounts like a hawk to make sure they did not use my info.
I usually am better at due diligence, but I tried this in a moment of boredom, and am taking down my profile as soon as I finish this review.
this dating service is a rip off. you think you are joining for 6months,then in 3 months they will take nearly 54.00 out of your account without notice.I had to put a block on my account thru my credit card.I did call the the ourtime based in Texas the girl was rude,on jan.18 they charged me on the 26 of jan.I placed aon line message,because of 1 message they refused a refund.This is there way of paying for all those comercials on t.v. they are a bunch of crooks
I was also surprised there was no way to search on religion, especially since their Q&A SAYS that religion is one of the search criteria! When I contacted them, they confirmed that there is no way to search on religion. I can search on whether someone is Gemini or a Leo, but not on his religion? Seems ridiculous. I plan to cancel.
they trying to charge me 100dollars for one week
If you like spam, join here
What a scam
One star is way too good for OurTime.com
yes do not get on this site, its a complete ripoff, when you e mail a girl the dating site answers for her her and you think its the woman your e mailing
A Scam
I'm trying to unsubscribe and I'm not able to .This is a scam
I tried to down load more photos and all I get is a tiny group way down in the
corner and a bunch of boxes. Also unable to enlarge the photos.
There id no one to call or email and ask what that problem is.
The profiles of the men are terrible and would not want to talk to them let alone meet them. I have been on this site for quite a long time and there was only one
man that I was interested in. What a waste of money!
our time sucks its a scam
What a Scam
SeniorPeoplemeet(dot)COM states that it is part of OurTime(dot)COM, which is part of Match(dot)COM and once they "get you" your profile is shared - but appears you can only correspond with those in the same one as you, otherwise can only view.
RE: "the profile of men are terrible"
Not the sites issue, it is the persons ..and it is the basic natural personality differences between the genders.
I would like to direct your attention to a book by John Grey, first published in 1992.
Happy hunting!
Thanks for the info. It is clear in the OurTime site that they share your info with third parties and there is no way to opt out. From what I've read here and poor experiences with the partner Match.com, I'll keep away from OutTime.
There are to many scammers on OurTime.Com. Avoid the Site.
Our Time surprise
I was a member of match, and saw the tickler on my match use to click to see "our time". What I didn't know was, as soon as I clicked there, it created a profile for me without my even ok'ing it at all, it just created it, copying my photos, and profile into Our Time. Since I have not joined ourtime, I cannot say I like it or not, but I gave 1 star because they abused my client privilege and my right to CHOOSE to be a member. That's the same as sending you spam without you consenting to receiving email.
Of course, I am not a member, and I can delete my profile. But my point is, I should have been ASKED before they created a profile for me. Just because I look, doesn't mean I am ready to create a profile while I still have an active match account, which incidentally hasn't done to much for me as usual. It's the same old song and dance, they get your money, and there are few reasonable people of the opposite sex to consider anyone short of mr or ms perfect. The more photos they have of themselves, the more likely they are a serial profile poster. Check it next year, they are still here, they never find anyone to meet their excruciating criteria! LOL. Oh, a tip, whenever you join one of these services, ALWAYS pay with Paypal, then as soon as they get their money, go into the transaction receipt and cancel the billing agreement, then they cannot charge you again without your permission. you can't trust them, I was setup to receive a 6 month match guarantee, and it is supposed to be free, yet they ran a transaction through for 1 cent they were testing to see if my billing agreement was still good. be aware of that for match. If you are going to send 5 emails a month and meet the free 6 months, leave billing agreement active, then as soon as it renews for free, CANCEL the subscription at paypal. With our time, I would cancel as soon as they got a cycle payment.
So what else is new!!
I too, saw their commercial today. Unlike far too many people who goto the web site and sign up right away, I do my homework first.
I check out the complaints pages and read all the reviews written by people who signed up expecting to find someone they might have a future with, only to discover they've been scammed. I'm not the least bit surprised by what I've read so far. Those who create these sites are experts at putting out enticing ads with lots of flash and glamour.
They're even greater experts at taking your money and holding you at bay when you want to opt out.
I'm 66 now and have come to terms with being single again and have been for almost 12 years. They play upon people's fears of being alone when oft times, it's the best thing for you at that time in your life.
Time to focus your attention on you; your wants, needs and desires. Take up a new hobby, go back to school, find yourself and take time to reconnect with the person you used to be. I'm a firm believer that as long as you leave your heart open to all possibilities, love will always find its way in. You just have to exercise some caution.
So don't let this experience sour you into thinking that you'll never find love again or cause you to, in desperation, to leap before you look when you may have met someone.
Take your time in getting to know each other and, if it's meant to be, you'll know without even having to think about it.
Good luck to all of you.
I agree with you. Thanks for posting the words of encouragement.
Not Trustworthy- Be Very Careful
I joined ourtime dating service it was about $20.00 but i never saw that amount taken out of my account but when i checked my account they had taken out $81.93 . what a big surprise. What ever happened to the joining amount . This is a scam don't waste your time. And to top it off there is no way to get any of your money back. very disappointing.
Our Time was my fourth experience with a dating site, but it was the one that made me decide to give up on dating sites FOREVER.
I was wondering what turned you off to the site and why you thought it was a scam?
