OD at 42; but where are all the 42 year old men?

[PattyCakes]

Busy looking at the profiles of 32 year old women, apparently....

Ok, so I'm one year on from exiting a 16 year relationship and ready to get back into dating. I'm a well-preserved 42. My experience of OD so far has been to attract nudges,winks, whatever from men well into their 50s.

Why do men seem to want/expect women a decade younger than them? I just want to meet men around my own age

I don't think it's a good idea to lie about anything when OD, but I really am tempted to fib about my age as I just feel invisible saying I'm over 40!

Any thoughts, or experiences to share? I am about to give up!

Thanks

I meant, moving on........... Are you a bit sensitive on behalf of gun-man?

"There was another guy who had up as his tag line beside his photo "if you show up and you don't look as good as your photo, the first round is on you..." "

That tagline might have gone better in the Big Gun Guy's profile.

Stop, you'll confuse me! It was two different guys.

I was collecting my son from a quasar thing earlier and I noticed that they had enormous black gun things attached to a machine, where you shoot against an opponent. It occurred to me that maybe the gun wasn't real.

Perhaps then the photo was of him in an amusement arcade playing a gun battle game.

However, if it was a grainy CCTV photo taken in a Santander bank...
