    In your 40s is sad enough and that is without the above restriction.

    It seems to be quite a common view on boards that if you can't stay faithful to one person then don't enter a monogomous relationship. Surely the single forty something year old would be doing the mature thing by realising they can't be with one person for the rest of their life so not entering a monogomous relationship.


    Utter ageist bullcrap.

    Why can't anyone in their 40s or older find love with another person? I suspect the OP has a lot of growing up to do.

    For the record I'm in my 30s and still feel young.

    In fairness, I think he meant "on the pull" as in trying to get casual sex and one-night stands with strangers, so noone is claiming that. If you look at dating websites, many are full of older people. I agree that it is very ageist though, like as though older people shouldn't be allowed to do something, very offensive. I wonder what the reaction would be if someone asked if it were sad for gay people to go out clubbing with the lads or something like that.

    Id say you are about 18 or so, and of the view that being 40 is "ancient". Oh, you have a lot to learn. :D:D

    I'm not 18 an I don't regard 40's as ancient. I never said it was sad and don't believe it is. Just got the impression others think its sad.
