By Sharon Jayson, USA TODAY

Of almost 127 million Americans age 40 and over, more than a third are unattached. They're either casualties of the divorce explosion (13%); widowed (11%); or never married (8%). [..] "The standard parameters of dating from your 20s are no longer in play," says Jane Ganahl, 53, editor of Single Woman of a Certain Age, a collection of essays from 29 single-at-midlife female writers.

Single and Being Books

I did not realize that the statistics for single woman, middle aged, was so high. I only know of maybe 2 personally. I can't imagine how much money is spent on searching for a relationship 40+. This article mentions paying someone $5000.00 to go and meet people for you. How bazaar is that? And if you multiply that by the millions of singles mentioned... *Pardon me while I have my slight stroke.* I could buy Florida for that. I would have never thought that this would be a topic for research. Do we have any women here that have any first hand experience with this?
