It doesn’t matter what year you graduated – dating in college is almost always a nightmare. Aside from the 15 percent of people who can thank their alma mater for putting their future spouse on the same campus, most of the degree-holding population is sent into the real world alone.
Dating doesn’t get better once you’re freed from the shackles of exams and extracurriculars: Finding someone you like romantically who can sync with your 9-to-5 lifestyle and understand that no, you can’t go to the bar on a Sunday night, doesn’t automatically come with aging past 30.
EliteSingles is a dating site aiming to create a mature dating pool for educated professionals – that is, without skimping out on romance and sending you on the most boring date of your life. For those unwilling to budge when it comes to their partner’s educational values and career goals, EliteSingles attempts to offer more specificity where eharmony and Match leave off.
As surface-level as they seem, money, work ethic, and professional schedules are things that can make or break a serious relationship. Finding a cute person with similar interests to yours is one thing, but finding someone you’d feel comfortable having a joint bank account with is harder.
EliteSingles review: A career-oriented dating site with hit or miss results
We talked to Maria Ivanik, a marketing manager at Elite Singles, to get the user base stats for 2019, and you’re in luck: EliteSingles has 170,000 active users who want to find the same exact thing that you do. Older users who are possibly looking at a second marriage may feel more comfortable with EliteSingles’ age demographics: 90% of users are over 30 and the App Store describes it as a place for users 30 to 50.
However, the site gets a lot of shit for being more focused on the percentage of college degrees than it is on the actual connections being made on the site. Is the high price point worth it to find a romantic partner who understands when it’s time to buckle down, or is EliteSingles just snooty with no statistics to back it up?
Making a profile requires a lot of patience, but it’s gotten better
The whole process isn’t as drab as it used to be. EliteSingles has given up the awkward interrogation asking you to determine how “strong” or “industrious” you are or how “sexy” of a person you’re looking for. Not only is such vague wording too open to misinterpretation, but no one wants to give themselves a bad rating on communication skills or make themselves look problematic when they’re trying to attract someone – even if they’re well aware that they should have ranked themselves poorly on some questions.
A site makeover in 2018 tweaked questions to be more relatable to daters in 2020 rather than the early 2010s: short, sweet, and personable. EliteSingles looks at dating through the lens of education and financial success, but at the end of the day, the end goal is still to find a romantic connection with a partner who’s ready to make things work in the long run. The new questionnaire incorporates matters of emotions, communication, and interests in a way that lets users actually picture a future relationship. Instead of zooming through and hitting “mostly applies,” hypothetical situations let you measure how you’d behave in day-to-day situations. If your partner showed up to a date late, would you make it obvious that you’re annoyed or would you let it go because you’re also late sometimes? If you get into an argument, do you need to talk it out before bed or do you need a day to blow off steam?
