Singles50 Review January 2020

If you tick "I am male", it automatically highlights "Looking for female". Though heteronormative, it is not necessarily exclusive of LGBT individuals as you can still manually check the same gender under the "Looking for" field.

The personality test is similar to the ones you'll encounter on Be2 and Lisa18, but then again, they're all under the same company.

Those in the younger generation might say that these 5-paged personality tests with several choices might be too long, that they're too tedious to fill out. Well, the target audience of Singles50 (40 years old and above), might actually appreciate it more. Since they would use the service to find a long-term match, an extensive personality test might be the better option compared to a blind date or a personal matchmaker.

For a dating site that capitalises on their complicated, scientific personality testing, the options in the search bar are actually quite simple. The criteria are the basic ones: ethnicity, religion, shape, drinking habits, etc.

As expected, the age preference starts at 40 years old (and ends at 90). Free members can receive but not read messages. When you open your inbox, you'll find a blurred preview of the overall message with an invitation to subscribe to premium.

During the test, it was discovered that free members can send one initial message to matches, but their replies will be blurred. Sending a message to your match gives them access to your photos by default. You can undo this action on the right on the messaging page. 

There are a few prerequisites for your display photo: your face must be clearly visible in the photo, there must be no one else with you in the photo, and there should not be children, violence, weapons, and sexual content. There is a check mark that makes your profile photo appear blurred to other users (but you can release it to individuals that you choose). but we discourage using this. After all, your main reason for joining is to show yourself to as many people as possible.

When you visit someone else's profile, you will see your compatibility with them in terms of:

• Rationality vs. Emotionality
• Tradition vs. Innovation
• Distance vs. Attachment
• Observation vs. Feeling

These ratings were taken from your personality test at the point of registration. When you click on each characteristic, you'll see a brief summary of what it means and your overall compatibility. You also get a general rating of your similarities from 1 - 100 (100 being the highest).

Premium memberships on Singles50, like most dating sites, are automatically renewed. If you registered for the 6-month package, you will be charged another 6 months by default. You can, however, cancel your membership anytime, as long as you give a period of notice of 14 days.
