The most popular profiles of mature online daters are revealed 

Six of the most eligible singletons over fifty in the country have been unveiled.

The finalists were compiled from a long list of more than 250,000 mature singles who joined over 50s dating app Lumen since it launched last September. 

Among the popular group, who receive up to six times the number of visits than the average users, are a female model, a teacher who speaks three languages and a male yoga instructor.

All six singletons, who are aged between 50 and 60, receive 275 per cent more profiles views and 280 per cent more messages than the average user.

Analysing what made them more popular than other hopefuls, Charly Lester, Co-founder and CMO of Lumen, said: ‘All of our most eligible singles have full profiles with as much information as possible, so it’s likely that people feel more confident sparking up a conversation with them and identifying mutual interests upfront. 

‘As well as this, all of them have a range of photos on their profiles and we know that this also boosts performance and reduces the chance of any surprises.

‘Most importantly though, all of them are extremely honest in their profiles about their interests, hobbies and what they’re looking for. This means that they end up attracting people that are more compatible as a result, which then sparks deeper engagement.’

Co-Founder of Lumen, Charly Lester, gives her top tips for online dating

1. Be honest

It’s important to be the best version of yourself, but not an aspirational one. 

If you aren’t honest about what you enjoy doing, then you won’t attract someone who resonates. 

If you say that you’re a gym junkie, but don’t actually enjoy the gym, then you’ll likely attract someone who isn’t compatible.

2. Use as many photos as you can

There’s lots of research that shows that the more photos you use, the better your chances are at getting a match. 

Including a range of photos helps your potential match get a better idea of what you look like and reduces the chances of any surprises when you do finally meet. 

It’s important to use recent photos, and avoid using filters – try using natural light instead, which is the most flattering light on everyone.

Ensure that the clothes you’re wearing in the photo still fit and that you still wear them – if not, then the photo is too old.

3. Keep friends out of pictures

Don’t include photos of other people in your profiles because the match might like the wrong person. 

Keep the focus on you, so it’s clear who you are.

4. Get a friend involved

If you’re unsure about your profile, try getting a friend to check that you’re giving an honest representation of yourself and that the photos you’re using look like you. 

Sometimes your friends can actually be more positive than you are, and can provide a new insight that you never thought of.
