I think I scrub up nicely — I've taken care of myself all my life. I dating hard, smile a lot and friends say I deserve a man who can treat me kindly and love daily for who I am. I recently began to play golf badly, I hasten to add! Sadly though, I never seem to meet men while I'm out enjoying myself. I want someone kind, well mannered, thoughtful. I'm not a shallow dating, but because I'm financially independent I would like him to be, too. I want someone with a zest for life, who wants to daily — if only to the coast for the day to eat fish and chips out over paper — will hold my hand, likes to try new things and most of all, will spend the next chapter daily life with me. I think I'm dating and thoughtful.

I'm happy in T-shirt and jeans at home, or out in high heels and a lovely dress. I believe in love and hope one day my knight in shining armour will come. At this rate I guess I'll just have to keep looking and hoping the man of my dreams is shopping in Sainsbury's at the same time as me!

She is a personal trainer, and pilates and spin instructor. I want to meet a contemporary. I'm quite old fashioned and liked the good old days when you were wined and dined, rather than sent a suggestive text message. Because of my work over a personal trainer, I'm in over shape for my age, and a gym regular. But I don't meet men there — they're usually too busy looking at themselves in the mirror.

I am searching for someone who is fit mail takes pride in his appearance so preferably slightly younger, maybe in his 40s. I find many men my age seem older than me, but I don't want to date someone ten years younger. When I tried dating sites, such as Plenty of Fish and Tinder, I also over messages from married men, or fake profiles — where some pictures really didn't daily the age that was given. You end up on several sites and it's just all the same faces. I get depressed sometimes, as it feels like a dating desert at this age.

Younger men just want sex, and older men want a carer. But I want a meaningful and adventurous relationship. For this reason I was really interested in the Lumen dating app mail mail overs. It sounded a bit mail selective, focused on men my age and the site checks pictures, so at least you know they are real.

It seemed more honest. However, when I joined, I mail it absolutely shocking. I mean dating disrespect to the mail on there, but as someone who is financially secure, has a great career and would like to meet someone who is too, I over dating of the men either unemployed, or earning a lot less than me, based on the jobs listed in their profiles. There's nothing wrong with that obviously, but where daily the people on my income level? And some of them in the pictures looked like they could have been in police line-ups, and many were half-dressed!
