As the sands of time continue their advance I find that my age falls in to a particular void. A lot of profiles have a cut off at 45 and there are some that have the age starting at 50. Their choice entirely so I’m not saying otherwise, what I am beginning to think is that as a male of my age, is it time to hang up my hat and live a life of solitude? |

i thought i had become invisible when i turned 56 as many couples and women set their limits to 55. however whilst there is a smaller pool of people to meet those that exist know what they want and want what they know. people have preferences and that is ok. it’s their loss though  |

I'm curious at the thinking behind your last comment. I see this all the time on here but obviously it can't be their loss if you aren't what they were looking for in the first place just as it's not my loss if I don't meet someone I'm not compatible with. |

"Mine goes up to 55.. I like to do my bit for the elderly.
Same. It’s not all about helping them cross the road you know?  "
Depends on how its done. Just like offering an arm is one thing. Standing behind them grasping the both shoulders and shouting "OK - Brace yourself" is another |

"Are you ticking the "I must match their age requirements" box when you do a search? That way you only see possibilities
Such an easy solution to this issue yet so few choose to actually do it! "
I have done this but the results usually come back as 0 or maybe 2 and that is within a 40 mile radius. |

I thought my age was an issue.
I'm kind of in the middle area that no one wants.
Under 40 is still acceptable for some of the younger generation, over 50 and you are exactly what the older folks want.
Mid 40s and you are either too old or too young.
Regular dating is even worse. I think I'll start lying about my age lol |

I hear what you're saying OP.
Whilst there's an argument to say that we mature, virile specimens are in our prime, that doesn't seem to apply on Fab: too old to be a swashbuckling stud but too young to be a dirty old man.
Or am I somehow missing a rich seam of women out there for the fortysomething male? |

It appears a lot of it is down to geographical reasons |
