Abstract:
This qualitative content analysis of a systematically selected sample of 200 heterosexual adults aged 60+ years examined older adults’ self-presentation in online dating ads and what they sought in a partner. Online dating ads were examined from one site for adults of all ages (match.com) and a site specifically geared to older adults (ourtime.com).
