Where Singles over 50 meet.

50Plus-Club.co.uk overview:
50Plus-Club.co.uk is a great British dating site for single men and women over the age of 50. It’s one of several sites catering to the senior dating market in the USA (also reviewed in this category), Canada, Germany, Austria, Switzerland and Ireland. The site designers have worked hard to create a real community feel and there are plenty of features to get you involved and meeting others. Whilst basic membership is free, if you decide to upgrade to premium membership you can also save up to 60%.

In comparison to its US counterpart, there’s more of a buzz of activity online here. The number of profiles registered runs into hundreds of thousands and at the time of this review there were just short of 2,000 members online. As a UK version of this dating site you won’t be surprised to learn that members come from all over the UK. Profile details cover a range of information including personal details (e.g. marital status, drinking habits), appearance (hair color, body shape), hobbies and interests and a self-written section about that member. Profile photos are somewhat smaller than on some other sites and the quality can be poor, though it’s possible to enlarge an image simply by clicking on it.

50Plus-Club.co.uk Features:
  • The place for UK singles over 50 to meet, chat and date
  • Free to join and create a profile
  • Browse hundreds of thousands of profiles all in one place
  • Upgrade and take out a longer term premium membership subscription and save between 20% and 50%
  • View detailed profiles and check out member photos
  • Send and receive email messages
  • Join a chat room or create your own for you and your friends
  • Send a 'smile' to flirt with other members and break the ice
  • Write comments in members' guest books on their profile pages
  • Invite other members to chat in real time using the IM feature
  • Create a list of your favorite profiles
  • Quick search, expanded search and tab searches help you find the kind of date that suits you
  • Send friend requests and develop your own friends network
  • Join a group and get to know people near you
  • Check out the online magazine and read dating and lifestyle features
  • Participate in member forums and get to know people with the same interests as you
  • FAQs page and email support

50Plus-Club.co.uk offers the same basic features as its US counterpart, but with a larger membership base and higher levels of online activity. Having said this, it still doesn’t quite match those sites further along our top 10 but there’s a great community feel and plenty of fun to be had here.

To discover which dating site is best for you, try reading some more reviews and then join a few dating sites to see for yourself how they suit you. There are no limits to how many free sites you can join, except for the practical ones you impose on yourself, like how much time are you going to devote to searching, communicating and following up on leads that will come into your computer's e-mail inbox. We recommend signing up for free trials with at least two dating sites, in order to see how they compare.

MatureFreeAndSingle.com overview
MatureFreeAndSingle.com (MFS Dating)
Dating & Friendship for Over 40s

MatureFreeAndSingle.com overview:
MatureFreeAndSingle.com(MFS Dating) is an online dating site geared towards dating and friendship for the over-40s. It was created by a couple who met online themselves and saw various ways in which online dating could be improved. Have they succeeded? Well, they’ve made it to a very respectable seventh position in our top 10 by virtue of creating a good looking site with useful features and a vibrant membership base. However, these features still don’t quite match our top sites, so there’s still a way to go.
With hundreds of thousands of profiles to browse, you can tell that MatureFreeAndSingle.com is a site that’s on the up. At the time of this review there were 770 members online, which is fairly impressive considering that it was late on a weeknight. Drop by earlier or at the weekend and you’ll find thousands online. The site caters to British mature singles so if you’re in the UK and looking to get meeting new people it’s well worth checking out.

MatureFreeAndSingle.com Features:
  • MatureFreeAndSingle.com provides online dating and friendship for the over-40s
  • Free to join, create your profile and upload photos
  • Enhance your profile with membership add-ons
  • Browse thousands of profiles
  • Click on a profile to request to meet that member
  • Use a variety of search tools to make your browsing more efficient
  • One click tab searches yield online members, recommended members, new members and latest photo and video uploads
  • Send and receive email messages
  • The 'Who's Near Me?' feature helps you locate and contact members near you
  • 'The Encounters' feature matches you with other members
  • Send virtual gifts to members
  • Create a list of your favorite profiles

MatureFreeAndSingle.com is a great dating site for mature UK singles and there’s plenty of fun features to get you meeting others today. Whilst it doesn’t quite pack the same punch as our top sites in terms of membership numbers, it’s certainly worth a look.
