My opinion: :crackup:Naively, I imagined I would lick my wounds and start again like I'd done in my 30s. If only! In my late 40s, I discovered men no longer give me a second glance. It must have been happening for a while, but, when I was secure in a relationship, I hadn't noticed. Now, when a man asks for directions, I know the only thing he wants is the best route to Trafalgar Square.
To my horror, I've discovered even men in their 50s and 60s like John aren't interested in me. I was talking to a silver-haired guy at a party a few weeks ago when I noticed his eyes swivel past me to the leggy blonde sauntering past, who was young enough to be his granddaughter.
It's cruel and unfair, and there are examples of it everywhere. Look at Ronnie Wood, the wrinkly Rolling Stones rocker, who's just got engaged to a beautiful woman aged 34.
Being middle-aged sucks anyway. But when you are middle-aged and looking for love, it sucks 1,000 times over. Just when I'm desperate for a relationship, the chances are fading. When I was in my 30s, I had a brilliant social life. A partner would have cramped my style. Now I don't want to be out dating. All I want is to snuggle up on the sofa with someone. And that someone is impossible to find.
