Has anyone else felt this way about a milestone birthday?
Don’t think it helps being single and nearly 50,
Never imagined it tbh  |

I embraced turning 50, as someone else has said I no longer give a shit about what others think, I’m me. I think it also gives you the confidence to finally be your true self, well for me anyway.
Enjoy turning 50 it’s the new 30  |

I'm days away from the same and I'm absolutely fine with it.
In the same boat as you OP. I see it as, I'm better off happy and single than stuck in a mediocre relationship.
Wishing you all the best.

It's all about your mindset... embrace it and love it! "

The last milestone birthday I celebrated was my 21st.
Life and circumstances meant that 30 and 40 passed unnoticed.
I knew something had to change when turning 50 and had planned on doing something to celebrate it but when my mum passed away 2 weeks beforehand that was knocked on the head too and it became just another birthday.

Turning 30 was the massive one for me. Once that was out the way I didn't give a flying one about my age. I also became single at 50 (my choice after 26 years) and since then have grabbed life by the balls and am more adventurous and happier than I have ever been before. |

I'm almost 50 and currently single. Has come as a bit of a shock how fast the last 10 years have gone.
I'm taking myself to Vietnam to celebrate. Always wanted to go, and 50.serms the ideal opportunity. |

I didn’t I enjoy it. I know it’s only a number , nothing changes & life is still good. But it just made me think that any big stuff, big career changes,,starting new businesses, more kids, seriously crazy adventures etc is unlikely now |

Fantastic Forties and Fabulous Fifties! 40 hurt my back but not my spirit. If there is something you don't like change it! You are never too old to learn and implement change.
I'm single and child-free and I try to wring every bit of life out of every day. In the last 12 months 3 people close to me under 45 died....I'm not waiting around to kick the bucket....with any luck I'll die swinging. Lol!
Maverick out.   |

I had no problem turning 30 - positively enjoyed it in fact.
Didn't like 40 as it felt like a number I used to think was really old, but it's not been that bad! 50 feels the same for me now: quite daunting, but sure when I get there it will all be ok!
Easier said than done, but just run with it, OP - what else can we do? But I wouldn't worry at all about being single at 50: there's no "right age" for being in a relationship or not. |

More kids? That's rare in a man. Lol! My mother moved countries at age 60 for 4 years. She's now learning to swim at age 72! |

Hugs...after 30 I made a point to celebrate every birthday even if I was alone. I made it to Ibiza for club 18-30. the others have been Day Spa, remote Sicily, and the Caribbean. I even managed to escape London for Sicily in 2020 and shared a bottle of prosecco with the other patrons of the hotel restaurant. 40 was a month in the Caribbean. Glorious! Dunno know what I will do for 50 but Cap d'agde looks like fun! |

I agree with you it sucks if you’re single. I was hoping to go to Hawaii and it never happened.
Will do it at some point though!
Have a good birthday and happy fabbing!
There is someone out there for all of us, I’m currently looking for my partner otter! |

I’m fifty tomorrow and I’ve loved the build up to this birthday from middle of November and continuing celebrations till the end of January
Embracing life as it’s so much better now than when I turned forty |

No, never. More aches and pains as you go past your half century. But its worth it.
Embrace every birthday...and think of the people who will never get to celebrate their 50th, 40th, 30th, 21st, 18th...etc |

I’m 50 in October (those of you running a spreadsheet I expect a thread right!?)
Whilst it’s a monumental birthday I don’t feel the need to have a list of things to do etc.. I’ll save that for the big 100…
Really in the grand scheme of things it’s merely a blink of an eye. |

I didn't want to turn 40.
But once I did it was ok!!!
A tip for you: rather than thinking 50 is half a hundred, think of it as twice 25... seems easier to swallow then hahaha
The good thing about turning 50 is you start to care less about what other people think and start living your life more for YOU. |

I Did not want to be 50, hated it. I can remember my grandparents at 50, just sat in their armchairs watching TV. I didn't want to be like them. I definitely struggled with it for a few months.
Now though, I'm not bothered, age is just a number and I'm glad to be Still alive. |

I turned 50 a few weeks back
As most people have said, it’s great, I’ve been single since my late 30s, and while I don’t have anyone to come home to at the end of the day, I also don’t have to answer to anyone, I’m free to do things I want to on a whim
The downside is that it’s harder to maintain more of a social life as everyone else my age is married with kids (they mostly started families in their 30s & 40s so still have childcare to take into account) so getting together is more difficult
My musical partner in crime is lucky in that his wife encourages us to get together to practise & perform so we get to do stuff that gets us out and keeps us busy
And being more of a natural introvert I’m not inclined to be getting myself into situations where I’m going to be meeting loads of people (hence trying to go by myself to socials organised here is hard!!) |

I'm nearly there and I feel hideous. I get so many messages from guys younger than me and I just ask them why they are interested in "a fat old lady" like me. Aging has eaten away at the confidence I didn't have much of on the first place, so I'm sceptical when a good looking guy sends me a message, I just assume he sees me as low hanging fruit, desperate for attention due to my age and size, the older I get the more I feel this way when "Mr 6 pack" messages.
I have botox and every cream under the sun, but there's only so much you can do. Turned 48 in October, another year towards the Fab graveyard. |

Well your pictures present a confident and sexy woman. And whilst you may be curvy, for many men that’s a big turn on! The many messages you receive won’t be because men see you as “low hanging fruit” but quite the opposite at least that’s from my perspective x |

Personally, I don't see anything but an attractive woman. |

I hate getting old.
I'm 46 so 50 isn't far away
What is it about 50 you hate the thought of? It can be scary if you look at it as the best years of your life gone but it's also great incentive to fit in everything you want to do that you put off
On here I see alot of ppl 50+ And most say they have more fun now than ever |

I never knew how gorgeous and sexy women in their 50s are until I joined this site.
I'm too young to message most but the ones that I've been able to chat with and meet have been beautiful women.
I think its true what they say - age is just a number. |

Reaching 50 was a privilege as I know so many friends and family members who did not reach that age. |
