A spokesperson said: "Receiving a final ‘senior dating score’ of 1.3/10, Carlisle ranks fourth worst city for senior singles. With only 93 over 60s Match.com users (0.6/10), the Cumbria city scores an unsatisfactory 1.9/10 for the proportion of over 60s Match users to its senior population.
"The worst city for the over 60s seeking love is Lisburn (0.9/10). Having the third lowest senior users on Match.com (0.3/10), the Northern Irish city sees only 43 out of all 34,436 senior singles actively looking for love, thus scoring an underwhelming 0.5/10 in this regard."
