Silver surfers who are dating on-line are probably more likely to be catfished than any other age group.
She looks like Kim Cattrall in her profile picture, but somehow she morphs into Brendan O’Carroll when you finally meet her.
Dating women over 50 brings a few challenges so spare a thought for the men who have to do it.
1. When she says she’s got dance moves like Madonna, believe it.
She can fall down a flight of steps no problem. Unfortunately she can’t get back up.
2. Some ladies might not have updated their make up and style for a while. Still, if you also think the Farrah Fawcett look never goes out of fashion maybe you’re soulmates.
3. A woman who says she’s feisty, wild and wacky or fierce on her profile is probably trying to hide the fact she’s got the personality of a cobweb.
4. If her previous relationship was ‘complicated’ this could mean a number of things.
She could have met a 20-something on holiday who left her with an empty bank account and a broken heart.
5. Or she may have found out that the ‘innocent’ man she’d been writing to on death row in Texas had, indeed, killed 12 women.
6. If she says she enjoys the odd game of bingo she means on Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday evening, and Saturday afternoon.
7. Someone who says she doesn’t drink much will turn into a screaming banshee after a few vodkas – especially if you’ve been ogling the young pretty barmaid all night.
8. We’re masters of disguising crepey decolletage. Yes, this is a fun necklace / scarf, isn’t it?
9. You’ll probably have a great time – as long as Molly Menopause hasn’t also turned up on the date. If she does, you’re more likely to wake up in a hospital bed than ours.
10. As a society obsessed with looking good, some women have probably had some work done, especially when they’re getting older.
Still, at least they can honestly say they woke up like this.
