DALLAS NEWS - Jan 10 - "People over 50 are now more trusting of going on dating sites," said Navin Ramachandran, COO of Match Group. In fact, people ages 45 to 54 are as likely to date online as those 18 to 24 because they're divorced or far removed from typical dating hubs like college, according to a recent Pew Research Center report. The number of Match's 50+ singles has grown ~50% from 2009 through 2014 and account for 1/3 of all dating members. According to eHarmony: ~80K of its subscribers are over 80. The share of eHarmony's subscribers 50+ is also growing: from 9.5% in 2012 to 13.5% in 2015.
