"I am," she wrote, "a plankton on the food chain of sexuality and the prospect of a relationship."



Single women in their 40s and 50s are increasingly feeling that their love lives are over as men their own age use online dating to cherry-pick younger models. But when did confidence and sexual maturity become so unattractive?



When a divorced woman on "the wrong side of 45 with a brace of kids" began to write about her experiences of being single last week, she opened her blog with the extraordinary statement that she was in "relationship no man's land", condemned to be alone for the rest of her life.

"I am," she wrote, "a plankton on the food chain of sexuality and the prospect of a relationship."




The anonymous woman, whose blog is called The Plankton, is not alone in believing that there are problems specific to being a single woman in middle age. A survey this month found eight out of 10 women over 50 think they have become invisible to men. Seven out of 10 women in the study felt overlooked by the fashion industry, while three-quarters of women in their 60s believed they had lost their identity by being labelled as a "mum".



Women and men are living longer and fitter lives; the average age at which we divorce is rising 41 now for women and 43 for men and the number of single parents is projected to rise to 1.9 million over the next decade. There is a new demographic of confident and experienced women, at their sexual peak as far as science is concerned, who would like to find a partner.

But life, friendship and love for the single woman in her mid-40s and beyond has its own particular complications and sorrows. Susan Quilliam, a relationships expert and agony aunt, said that some women were suffering "terribly".

"On dating sites men have the pick up and down the age range. They are also much more in a rush to get into a new relationship and are much less likely to give someone a second chance, which may seem callous but they are much more likely to fall in love quickly. For men, it's a case of you fulfil the criteria, let's buy the double duvet.

I AM NOTHING

Ja sam nitko i ništa.
Gledaj, sjaj oko nas.
Drveće i ptice.
Živio sam u sramoti.
Obešćastio sam Gospodina
jer nisam primijetio sjaj.


POSLIJE FORME I LJEPOTE SA IQ 150, MALO ISTINSKE VELIČINE NA KRAJU:



J.S.Bach's Concerto No.5 in F-minor for Harpsichord and Strings (BWV 1056)
Perfectly fitted into 'Hannah and Her Sisters'. Love that film's soundtrack, as well as Bach.
