Old F-Buddy vs AdultFriendFinder: Which Is Right for You?
One of the oldest names in adult dating, and a UK site built for one-to-one fun with an older crowd.
A big adult playground, or one older lover
AdultFriendFinder, running since 1996, is a large adult dating and social site open to singles, couples and groups. Old F-Buddy, online since 2012, is a UK site for one-to-one no strings fun with an older partner. If you want everything adult in one place, AdultFriendFinder has it; if you want an older lover nearby, Old F-Buddy is built for exactly that.
Both are for adults only, both let you meet people near you, and neither pretends to be a place to find a spouse. The difference is in who you meet and how much is going on around them.

What AdultFriendFinder does well
Longevity, for a start: AdultFriendFinder has been going since 1996, and in the UK it is operated by a UK company with a UK freephone line. It is also wide open. Singles, couples and groups can all join, and there are a lot of ways to connect once you're in: an instant messenger, adult chat, live cams and video calls on mobile. If you like variety and want to explore, that breadth is its strength.
It runs on the web and on mobile web rather than through the app stores, and its pricing mixes subscriptions with credits and tokens for some services, gifts and tips.
Where Old F-Buddy fits better
Old F-Buddy keeps things simple and grown-up. It is built for one-to-one arrangements between two adults who want sex without a relationship. Our members skew older: more than four in five are 35 or over and half are 45-plus, so an older lover isn't a needle in a haystack.
Identity is easy to prove: every member can verify with a document, which puts a badge on the profile, or with a short live video check with a moderator. Explicit photos are blurred until the viewer chooses to look, so nothing lands on your screen unasked. Members see a username and your nearest town, never your name or address. Our safety page explains every check, and our features page shows what each membership includes.
