Also we can extend the nets by not ruling out younger men! In the six months I was single I found plenty of real life dates (I didn’t want to go online from past bad experiences), but most of them were younger than me. My fiance is almost 12 years younger and a fantastic match. I think we often rule out younger men as being too immature or not in the same life stage as us, but I’ve met a number of lovely, mature younger guys. Compatibility is so much more important than age.
