Fifty, sixty and fabulous
BBW Dating Over 50: Love Has No Expiry Date
Curvy women and the men who adore them, in their fifties, sixties and beyond.
You Are in Very Good Company Here
BBW dating over 50 is a big part of what Curvy Dates is. More than a third of our members are 55 or over, and more than one in five is 65 or older. Among our women members, around a quarter are 65 plus. If you are a curvy woman of 50 or 60, or a man who has always loved fuller figures and would like someone of a similar age, you will not be the oldest person in the room. You may well be in the middle of it.
That matters, because dating later in life is different. Many people over 50 are coming back to dating after a marriage, a loss or a long stretch of being busy with everything else. You know what you like, you have less patience for games, and you would rather have a long lunch than a loud bar. A site where people share that outlook makes the whole thing easier.

Dating again after 50
Make the First Steps Feel Easy
If it has been a while, start gently. There is no rush.
Say What You Would Like
Companionship, a partner, someone for theatre trips or a bit of romance: say it on your profile and matches take it into account.
Take Your Time Chatting
Message for as long as you like before meeting. A phone call before a first date is perfectly normal.
Ask a Friend to Help
Children and grandchildren are often surprisingly good at taking a nice photo and checking a profile for typos.
Stay Safe While You Enjoy It
Romance scammers often target people over 50, especially those who have recently been widowed or divorced. The warning signs are the same every time: someone who declares strong feelings very fast, cannot meet or video call, asks you to move to WhatsApp, and sooner or later needs money. Never send money or gift cards to anyone you have not met. Curvy Dates flags attempts to move conversations off the site, screens profiles and photos, and has a support team available around the clock. Our safety page has the full list, and our first date ideas favour calm, daytime meets.
