Seniors and Surfing
There’s so much fuss these days about seniors dating sites. New ones are coming out all the time and writers love to pen about them. It’s no wonder, with the baby boomer generation hitting its peak. There’s a lot of money to be spent and it only makes sense to target the age group just like it was any other niche. The problem I have with sites like this, and any niche dating site, is that unless they have a huge backer, they’re not going to get the media exposure they deserve to get the eyeballs and memberships.
Why hit a site like Senior Friend Finder when you can join Match and have many more possible contacts? Hopefully, being older also means that seniors are wiser about the way they surf the web. They need to know that there’re sites available that cater to seniors and others that serve a broader market, which also include a wide range of demographics. You should be on a few dating sites, anyway, and not just one. The more options available to us, no matter what age, the better our chances of finding what we’re looking for!

There's something in what you're saying, but niche dating sites have the right to exist.
Firstly, it's because they unite people of similar interests and hobbies, may be ages as it was mentioned above. There are also sites for milionaires and chief directors like http://www.millionairematch.com. I wouldn't refuse to be registered there:) Who knows...
