Posted on November 9, 2004

UK DAILY RECORD — Nov 9 — While many younger women are desperate to find the man of their dreams to settle down with, the rising divorce rate means a growing army of older women are free, single and young at heart. According to the Lloyds TSB 50 survey of 9100 people – 18% of single women 50+ regularly went to bars and nightclubs looking for romance. This compares with 41% of 30-somethings. And 39% of single women in their 30s say they’re not looking for a relationship, compared with 49% in their 50s.  While 22% of single women in their 30s have tried internet dating, only 12% of the over 50s have done so.
