OLD for people in professional roles?

[Pinkfizzed]

I have posted on similar themes before. Is there a specific OLD app / site which attracts people who are mid to senior professionals in terms of career, in their early to mid 40s?

I'm a single mother - work in a fairly senior role in London. I have been on Bumble and Elite singles for a couple of months now with no success. Elite singles- Lots of interest from much older men - none of whom i particularly liked after exchanging messages, many seemed to be in blue collar jobs (despite what the name of the site seems to auggest). Bumble- met a couple of people. The only person I did like meeting has ghosted me! I need some sort of common ground with anyone I date and more likely to find this in people in similar careers/ roles as me.

Haven't tried Tinder yet. I am quite time poor so by all accounts that didn't sound like it would work for me. Any recommendations, please?

@Whyherewego - why lie about your age though? Because you will have to tell the truth eventually and then that just makes you look like a liar! It could put someone off as they may write you off as dishonest

I agree. I’ve had men lie about their age and height and I immediately ditch them as lies are a complete deal breaker for me .

Because men do cutoffs at 40 or 45 or 50. And if you're just the wrong side of it then you just don't get into their feed. I have discussed it with men and I'm super open on the first or even pre the first date. Men lie about their height all the time ! So everyone is extending the truth

@Whyherewego I wouldn't want to be with a man who went for younger women, so no way would I lie.

@Disturbia81 I'm talking about then opposite! So if I am 46 and my age range in OLD is 40-50 age for men, most men of 45 or 50 will set an upper limit of 45. If I'm 46 then I am just outside it so I'm just placing myself back in. I may well he older than them anyway. I'm not talking 65 looking for 45

But it's the same ilk, a 50 year old man having a cut off that's 5 years younger than him just gives me the ick. A man of a certain age who won't entertain women who are the very same age.. is just so weird to me.
But different strokes for different folks

She could also date a younger man if happy to date someone with lower salary. My friend has married a great guy ten years younger and he has a great job and will out earn her soon

I think stick with the usual sites and just do a lot of screening. I'm also a financially secure professional with nearly 100% childcare responsibilities. I ended up meeting someone who is a professional/very successful in their own field/no kids but not a banker/partner type. Very very different to my field. I did date a few of these but firstly they told me when they had work on their profile, they were inundated. Secondly I found they didn't want someone equal, it was more they were the provider and happy in that role.

I think you can suss out a lot from chats rather than meeting everyone. I was very selective who I met too. I wouldn't waste money paying to filter people out. You can do that for free!
