The people behind the product
About Lisa50 and founder David Minns
Lisa50 was founded by David Minns to give people over 50 a place to meet, with privacy choices and a simple way to get started.
A founder who builds the technology
David is an entrepreneur, developer and author. He developed his own online dating platform and runs a privately owned network of specialist dating websites and apps.
His work focuses on creating places for people whose needs may be overlooked by a general dating service. For Lisa50, that means a clear focus on dating after 50, with room for different interests and circumstances.
Experience with dating fraud
David wrote THE SCAM: Dating Fraud Exposed to help people avoid dating scams. His work on online dating technology informs Lisa50’s approach to privacy and account checks.

What that means when you use Lisa50
Less to write
Profiles are built from interests. There is no biography to compose, and each profile provides talking points for a conversation.
Choices about privacy
Photos are optional, locations are approximate, and the service asks for age rather than a full date of birth. Decide what else to share as you get to know someone.
A check at signup
A liveness check helps confirm age and reduce fake accounts. It is separate from a public profile photo. Read the safety advice and continue to use your judgement when meeting people.
Who is Lisa?
Lisa is a fictional character representing a fresh chapter at 50. She is not a member testimonial or the founder. David Minns is the real person behind the service; members bring their own stories, interests and hopes for dating.
Research and practical guidance
Lisa50 published relationship age gap research involving 21,346 respondents. We preserve the original findings and distinguish historical survey results from practical suggestions in our dating guides.
Our guides are written for people exploring online dating, with examples based on how Lisa50 works. They do not promise a particular response, match or relationship.
