TORONTO SUN By Valerie Gibson — May 7 — A new report from England's Durham University (sociologist Judy Richards PhDthesis) about Internet dating, Love On The Net, has found that women, instead of looking for a sole companion for all of their life, are much more likely to choose different men for the different stages of their life. In-depth interviews with English women ages 48-62 showed that, although mid-life women still have faith in love, they are more romantically realistic than ever before. Richards research indicates there are four distinct romantic/sexual stages for women looking for a man today. The first is "looking for fun," the second is "looking for Mr. Right," the third is "looking for Mr. Right Now — especially a younger man," and the fourth and final stage is "looking to settle down with someone close to their age to share life and similar experiences with."
