El día de San Valentín fue el 14 de febrero, que coincide con febrero siendo el “Mes de las relaciones saludables”. Tanto si busca a su otra mitad como una amistad casual, las citas en línea pueden ser una opción viable. ¡Sin duda son populares! Statista informó que los sitios web de búsqueda de pareja son un sector de 1.350 millones de dólares en Estados Unidos con casi 60 millones de usuarios, de los cuales el 26% tienen más de 50 años.
Si está considerando sumergirse en el mundo de las citas en línea, Senior Planet exploró algunas plataformas de emparejamiento específicamente para adultos mayores, sus ventajas y desventajas, y consejos de seguridad para las citas en internet.
Plataformas de citas para adultos mayores
Hay innumerables sitios de citas en línea, pero a continuación se enumeran tres plataformas dedicadas a adultos mayores. Los niveles de precios dependen de la duración de la membresía.
- Silver Singles: (Gratis o entre $24.95 y $44.95 al mes)
El Consejo Nacional sobre el Envejecimiento clasificó a Silver Singles como la mejor aplicación de citas para encontrar una pareja basada en valores. La aplicación utiliza un cuestionario de estilo de vida y personalidad que formula una puntuación de compatibilidad para cada perfil coincidente. Spark Network Services GmbH, con sede en Berlín, Alemania, es propietaria de la plataforma, que comenzó a funcionar en 2017.
- Senior Match: ($16 – $34/mes)
Senior Match cuenta con más de un millón de miembros y está en actividad desde 2003. Forbes calificó la aplicación como la mejor plataforma para principiantes en citas en línea para adultos mayores.
- Ourtime: ($20.11 – $35.85/mes)
Ourtime es propiedad de Match Group, que administra muchos otros sitios de citas, incluidos Hinge, Tinder y Match.com. El sitio no facilita cifras específicas de membresía más allá de “millones de miembros”. Retirement Living eligió Ourtime como la mejor plataforma de citas para encontrar parejas locales.
¿Por qué probar las citas en línea?
Ventajas
Práctico y accesible
- Las plataformas de citas permiten a los usuarios buscar y conocer personas desde la comodidad de sus propios hogares.
- Puede buscar posibles coincidencias en cualquier momento.
Variedad de opciones
- Ofrece acceso a una amplia gama de personas con diversos orígenes, intereses y personalidades.
- Mayores oportunidades de conectarse con personas que quizás no conozca a través de interacciones en persona.
Coincidencia eficiente
- Los algoritmos recomiendan coincidencias compatibles según las preferencias y comportamientos del usuario.
- Opciones de filtro por edad, intereses, geografía, etc.
Desventajas
Representación engañosa
- Fotos obsoletas o falsas, biografías exageradas.
- Catfishing o perfiles falsos
- Los estafadores pueden trabajar fuera de los foros habituales de citas en línea e intentar atraer a personas en Facebook Hangouts, Instagram o incluso LinkedIn.
Adictivo
- Los usuarios pueden experimentar un “subidón de dopamina” que proviene de recibir una coincidencia.
- Muchos usuarios juegan con las probabilidades saliendo con varias personas, convencidos de que encontrarán a alguien mejor.
Ghosting y rechazo
- Ghosting: interrumpir la comunicación sin ninguna explicación.
- Falta de coincidencias o rechazos frecuentes.
Seguridad personal
- Los usuarios pueden ser acosados por alguien que conocieron en línea.
- Los estafadores pueden atraer a los usuarios a una “relación” para generar confianza antes de cometer fraude financiero o suplantación de identidad.
¿Desea probar?
Si participa en citas en línea, priorice la seguridad tomando precauciones.
- Utilice un número de teléfono de Google Voice, que no se pueda rastrear hasta la dirección de un usuario.
- No publique fotos suyas que use como fotos públicas en las redes sociales, ya que pueden usarse en una búsqueda de imágenes inversa para encontrar su identidad real, lo que puede dar lugar al acoso.
- Si decide reunirse con alguien, tome capturas de pantalla de su perfil y envíelas a un amigo o familiar de antemano.
- No haga clic en cualquier enlace que le envíe una posible coincidencia.
- No caiga en la trampa si quieren trasladar la conversación fuera de la plataforma de citas a otro lugar, como Telegram, WhatsApp o Line.
- Un estafador podría chatear con usted y luego quejarse de que una de sus cuentas no funciona. Le preguntarán si pueden enviarle su código 2FA. Una vez que les comunica el código, en realidad les está otorgando acceso a sus cuentas.
- Reúnase únicamente en un lugar público concurrido con un estacionamiento bien iluminado.
- A modo de verificación, realice una búsqueda de imágenes inversa en las fotografías de cualquier coincidencia.
Lamentablemente, incluso el sitio de citas más legítimo puede albergar a un estafador, y las estafas de citas en línea se dirigen a las personas de 55 a 64 años más que a cualquier otro rango de edad. En 2020, los adultos mayores perdieron casi 139 millones de dólares en estafas de citas. Consulte aquí una guía completa de la FTC sobre cómo detectar y evitar estafas románticas y estafadores en las citas en línea. Otra guía sobre estafas cubre estafas románticas sofisticadas que incluso involucran fraude 2FA.
