being 49 and recognizing the slim chance of finding someone else to share my life with
From a 47 yo male perspective....don't even worry about it...when I was frustrated and lost hope and had my week of half hearted exploring the singles world I was only attracted to (with 1 exception) women 45-55...lets see, many had gone through their X's MLC and divorce, had already gone through "the Change", children launched, had time to develop themselves and did interesting things (one competed in bicycle road racing, one raised her own wool and made products from it, one was avid backpacker, one was a pagan priestess)...by default, you have a LOT that is attractive.
So, get your bearings, find what excites YOU, integrate your experiences the last few years, etc...you'll have plenty of opportunity...
