The well-known dating agency PV-Exklusiv also offers its discreet and professional services for seniors. These require special support.
In Germany there are around 17,5 million people who are 65 years old or older. This means that the target group of seniors represents around 21 percent of the total population in Germany. According to calculations, the proportion will be around 2060 percent in 34. “Of course, this also means that there will be more and more seniors who live alone because their partner has died or a divorce occurred some time ago. And since people are generally getting older, the length of time a senior citizen may be alone is also increasing,” says Markus Poniewas, a well-known dating consultant and managing director of PV-Exklusiv (www.pv-exklusiv.de). The company, based in Düsseldorf and Mönchengladbach, is active throughout the German-speaking region and has been successfully bringing people of quality together for many years - for a common future.
But he finds this problematic. “No one is made to be alone for long, and a happy relationship is not a question of age - why shouldn't two older people meet again and spend the last part of their lives together?” In addition, many people get older are dependent on support. Then the bones no longer function as they should, perhaps you become a little forgetful, or a chronic illness makes everyday life more complicated than in the past. “Then it is also a very good situation for the family to know that mother or father can rely on a loving partner. That gives peace and serenity.”
The dating agency PV-Exklusiv has therefore specialized in accompanying seniors as part of its work. Of course, this basically requires the same skills as other customers. But seniors generally need to be cared for more intensively and introduced to the placement process more carefully. “Many seniors turn to us to get to know our placement process and structures, which younger people often find out about in advance from other sources. But we don't expect, for example, a 70-year-old lady to read our website. As consultants, we are there to provide her with all the necessary information personally and thereby provide security,” says Markus Poniewas.
This also has to do with the fact that relatives often do not agree with the search for a partner. They quickly sensed unfair intentions - but all prejudices could be dispelled and open questions answered in a personal conversation. In these discussions, the senior's wishes could then be discussed in confidence, because Markus Poniewas and the other advisors know: “Especially as you get older, it becomes increasingly difficult to find a new partner. The range is limited, and the previous long-term partnership usually means that there are special demands on the potential new partner - after all, men and women are used to certain things. After all, they have gotten used to features they have grown fond of and would like things to continue the same as before. We have to take this into account when advising and looking for a partner in order to achieve successful placement as quickly as possible.
Speaking of placement success: it also works for seniors PV-Exklusiv without any subsidy obligations or similar clauses until a partner is found. “This is our promise of success and guarantee of performance as a confidant of a single looking for a partner!”
