- 56% percent of forty-something and fifty-something singles are divorced, which can add emotional baggage on a dating relationship.
- Single Parents Dating with kids still in the home are in a particularly difficult spot.
- Age itself, with all its attending symptoms: wrinkles, baldness, extra poundage, etc., can make singles feel undesireable.
