If you thought Match.com was only for you and maybe your older siblings, think again because you might run into your grandma's profile if you're (un)lucky.
According to recent news articles, the over 50 set are not only browsing the web but as the Washington Post found that by 2007, those over the age of 50 were the largest growing online dating group.
Bet you wish you hadn't taught grandpa the ins and outs of the internet.
Joe Tracy who edits an online dating magazine tells United Press International that seniors are 'seeing their sons and daughters use online dating and have success with it.'
No matter the age, it seems that everyone's pursuing love and companionship. Tracy concludes 'we've been seeing online dating services really target the senior citizens and baby-boomer market' meaning finding true love online isn't just for spry young things any longer.
Some of the older online daters are focusing on specialty sites such as JDate.com that caters to Jewish singles, the Washington Post reports.
Simialrly, AARP representative, Nataki Clarke explains that seniors want to get connected through sites that cater to them, such as the AARP page. As a result, they are redesigning the webpage to make it more social-network friendly, the news provider reveals.
