The Ourtime success in numbers

Ourtime is aimed at young-at-heart singles around 50.

The success of the Ourtime dating platform is impressive:

  • Already 2,000,000 singles over 50 have registered with Ourtime.
  • Currently, 25,000 members from Ireland are active on Ourtime 
  • The Ourtime matchmaking principle

    The platform was developed for singles aged 50 and over who are looking for serious contacts.

    Ourtime focuses on the fact that 

  • singles 50plus find a partner in their area.
  • new friendships are forged.
  • older singles find people with the same values and interests.
  • you can also meet in real life after getting to know each other online.
  • Ourtime uses different approaches to suggest the most perfect partners to its users.

    • Members regularly receive suitable contact suggestions. This is based on your profile data and the questions you answered during the registration process. The suggested profiles are as close as possible to your personal wishes and interests.
    • The classic partner search: You can use the search or filter functions to specify details that your desired partner should meet, e.g., age, region of residence, hobbies. You will then be presented with corresponding partner suggestions. 

    How serious is Ourtime? Fake profiles or real singles?

    Ourtime is definitely a trustworthy dating platform.

    The provider itself emphasizes that it attaches the greatest importance to a serious community and the safety of its members.

    The following measures are taken to ensure this:

    • Using advanced SSL encryption techniques, your personal data is protected at all times.
    • All photos and profiles that are uploaded are checked by hand. This way, Ourtime sorts out fake profiles and scammers directly.

    Our tip: If you come across a suspicious profile despite the security precautions, report it to customer service. The team will react immediately. A check and all necessary measures will be initiated.

    On Ourtime mature singles can find new friends, flirts, and life partners. Ourtime is extremely easy to handle as a virtual assistent guides you through all steps from registration to making dates.

    How Ourtime.ie works

    Four steps to your dream partner on Ourtime:

    • You register with Ourtime and set up your profile.
    • You answer the questions about yourself and your dream partner.
    • You receive the first partner suggestions.
    • You can make contact or are contacted.

    Registering with Ourtime

    Registering with Ourtime is straightforward and the only thing you need is an active email address. Ourtime will send an email to this address after registration, which you will need to confirm to complete the registration.

    During the new registration, your Ourtime coach will then ask you a few questions, the answers to which will later be added to your profile.

    The following will be asked:

  • Personal data (e.g. place of residence, age)
  • Your requirements on your dream partner
  • The Ourtime login for members

    If you are already a member of Ourtime, you can register directly on the website by using the login button at the top right of the homepage.

    The Ourtime personality test

    ... is virtually non-existent. In the registration process, you only must answer 13 questions about yourself. These include your height, children, hair colour and length, marital status, education level and interests. Then you are asked 5 questions about your dream partner (age, height, education, children, smoking).

    Ourtime does not rely on the matching principle based on a personality test. At Ourtime you are in demand and must deal with your profile in great detail. Only with a well-maintained and carefully completed profile does the partner search on Ourtime work.


    Advantages & Disadvantages

    • Great choice of 50 plus singles
    • International contacts also possible
    • Regular offline-dating events
    • Voice and video calls possible
    • Detailed search functions available
    • No singles under 50
    • Not suitable for casual dating

    Who is Ourtime suitable for?

    Ourtime is perfect for mature singles over 50 who are looking for a serious dating site and for their dream partner for the second half of life.

    These singles over 50 and seniors who are looking for a committed partnership form the largest group among Ourtime members.

    Older singles who are looking for a flirt or friendship can also find what they are looking for here. Likewise, gays over the age of 50 like to be active on Ourtime.

    Age structures of members

    Only singles who are at least 50 years old can register with Ourtime.

    Therefore, it is not surprising that the largest group of members is 55 years and older. The average age for women and men is about 64.

    There are slightly more women registered in the 50 to 55 age group, otherwise the ratio of both sexes is quite balanced.

    If you do not want this, you have to take action yourself. In the "My Account" section, deactivate the following checkbox: "Maximize your chances of meeting people by having your profile also shown to members 50+ in our general dating services".

    Additional functions at Ourtime
