Dating

Certainly not - you might get to meet spindrift.

Or Stonecastle (remember him?). Wasn't he on an internet dating site?

Is the problem with all this that after a certain age people have unrealistically high expectations? Do they expect to meet younger, wealthier, faultless, better looking versions of the ones they have split up from?

Only if they are having a mid-life crisis

There are some odd fetishes out there you should be fine.

Yes - be prepared to settle for something vaguely female and possessing a pulse.

Soooo, following on from this thread, what's changed in the last 10 years then? I'm not looking to do anything in the immediate future but I'd like a well informed toe when I decide to dip it back into the water...

Is internet dating full of loonies? Is speed dating a mugs game? Is my dancing now considered crap? Is red hair still a massive handicap?

I married a red head and my daughter has a beautiful head of red hair that attracts comments everywhere we take her so there is definitely hope for you red tom!

It saves disappointment and makes for long and contented relationships.

If on the other hand you are looking for the following characteristics:

Under 30, stupendous looks, extremely rich, extraordinary sexual skills, keen on cycling, loves you as you are and doesn't want to change you, high sex drive and totally besotted with you - then you are doomed to disappointment.

I'd settle for 31... we all need to make compromises in life.

I am currently chatting to someone who seems to quite like me and my quirky sense of humour. She is the same age as me and comes across as really quite nice. She looks far better then some of the younger ones on the site and is able to hold her own in conversation so far.

I'm not actively trying to 'chat up' just chat and see it feels right.
