Over 40 chat rooms with a friendlier pace

Our over 40 chat rooms are for people who'd like a grown-up conversation without trying to keep up with a fast, noisy room. Regulars are in their forties, fifties and beyond, and they come here for good company, a laugh and people who remember the same things they do.

What makes this room different

The pace is slower and the conversations last longer. People take time to reply properly, ask follow-up questions and pick up where you left off yesterday. There's far less spam and showing off than in a general room, and much more talk about real life.

Typical conversations

  • Work, retirement plans and second careers.
  • Grown-up children, ageing parents and everything in between.
  • Gardening, cooking, DIY and the hobbies you finally have time for.
  • Holidays, home towns and favourite places.
  • Music and TV from the eighties and nineties.

Starting over

Plenty of people arrive after a big change: a divorce, a bereavement, children leaving home or a move to a new area. If that's you, you'll find others who've been through the same thing and are happy to listen. Many say the room helped them feel less alone during a hard patch.

New to chat rooms?

If you've never used a chat room before, don't worry. Just say hello and mention it's your first time. Regulars are usually happy to show you how private messages work and how to block someone if you need to. The room works on any phone, tablet or computer, and there's nothing to install.

Dating after 40

Some people here are open to meeting someone special. If that's you, take your time, chat over several days before swapping numbers, and meet only in public places. Watch carefully for romance scams, which often target people in this age group. Nobody genuine will ask you for money, however convincing their story.

Similar rooms

If you're a little younger, the over 30 room is lively but relaxed. For an even gentler pace, try the over 50 room.
