Lavalife Prime Starts Charging Seniors
Senior dating site Lavelife Prime is about to begin charging it’s 40,000 members. It will be interesting to see what the attrition rate is once the paywall is in place. Wait, it’s for people over 45, not exactly seniors. Then why does search start at 40? Confusing. Depressing that I am eligible in five years. Compete [...]
