SWOFTIES – the new trend for singles over fifty
The London Daily Mail reports that research, commissioned by mature online retailer isme.com, found that:
- one-fifth of women who’ve reached their half century are wearing sexier outfits than when they were younger
- around two thirds said being single meant they could wear what they wanted, rather than having to dress to please or appease a husband or partner
- more than half had enjoyed a date with the opposite sex over the past 12 months
- one in ten had used internet dating sites to meet men
- a third said they were enjoying their freedom so much that they were unlikely to settle down again.
Dan Rubel, from isme.com, said the idea that a woman had to accept her age and settle down for a “life of babysitting and bingo” was “a thing of the past”.
And so say we all!
