"If someone prefers much younger partners that's their choice but I think inevitably it will be more difficult to achieve as age marches on. I see quite a few people on Fab in their 50s who's preference is for people 20 or 30 years younger and I do wonder how much this is a hunger for their own lost youth, a last chance before they think it's too late ?" Don't think it will b so for women daily get youngsters ask to meet! I'm not in the least bit interested in younger men though!prefer 50 + x | |||

"I've never made a conscious decision to be single. If the right person came along I'd happily form a committed relationship, it's simply that I've tried dating websites and dating at this time of life seems so blasted difficult! That said I do occasionally (fleetingly) worry about how I'll go through old age, but then I remember that actually there's no guarantee that any partner would still be with me into old age, so I double down on my personal commitment to continue living a healthy, active and interesting life that's all for myself." Same here | |||

"I'm 57 and single. Not through choice but because my partner died. I will never have another relationship so I'm happy to stay single for the rest of my life" Sorry for your loss. Why do you say you'll never have another relationship? Is it cos no one could ever replace your partner. I can understand the happy being single, always amazed at people who think a relationship is the solution - its bloody hard work. | |||

He always said if anything happened to him he would want me to meet someone else but I don't want to. I had 16 years of perfect relationship. Somepeople never find that so I will live of my happy memories | |||

Sat with step dad at end with same! But I b happy to get to that age x | |||

I just prefer the energy and attitude of younger partners, it’s certainly not a lost youth. It’s not getting harder but I think I may want different things in life as I get older, like companionship over lots of sex etc | |||

"I’v been pondering life lately. I’m curious who else is happy with things as they are now, single but meeting / dating regularly etc but aware you’re not getting any younger and this lifestyle maybe doesn’t work forever. What is your plan is for 5-10 years from now. No plan , just carry on on doing the same or plan to go back to a regular type of relationship ? How with things like retirement , reduced finances, possibly declining health & mobility impact your decisions to stay single (ish) " I like having a girlfriend so I'm looking for one, i may not find her here but I'll have fun trying | |||

I am one of these people who has limiting age filters on here selected on my preference only based on looks, energy/stamina, less baggage (for want of a better term) etc. I have also pondered frequently about whether I am actually trying to reclaim a lost youth or for shallow validation of fading looks. Maybe it is but I don't think so. For me there is something about knowing that I have to grab life by the balls and live it to the full whether that is with a guy in his 20s, 50s, with friends and family or entirely alone. Will I still be doing what I'm doing now in 10 years? No. I'm stepping of the career ladder this year to do me. Travel, try new things, volunteer, work only when I need to, have new experiences whilst I can. Will I still be single? Probably. If I find Mr Right I would re-evaluate but I have never been more lonely than when in an unhappy and unfulfilling relationship and wishing I was somewhere else. | |||

"I’m rapidly approaching big 50 and if I’m being honest, it’s looming over me. I’m single parent to two school age children with complex needs. I am literally undateable. Our life is so structured I can’t imagine letting anyone in. Many have tried but none could ever fit in and it’s totally understandable. I am happy and grateful for what I have, doing the best I can." | |||

I am 59 in better shape than most people more than half my age lead n a time life dance, play airsoft, travel, and when I can enjoy this lifestyle. And yet even for women in their 50s I am considered far too old. So yes I have been wondering if my time is up now. Not due to my physical ability but people's conceptions | |||
