I don't think it works very well for several reasons. We have a harder time picking through what people say and finding the truth. We are also more set in our ways and carry a lot of baggage. We are unwilling to take the risks required to be successful with internet dating; we are unwilling to just take the chance of meeting new people and see how it goes.

Yes it does work. I met my last partner on a dating site and we dated for almost 2 yrs.

My friend also met her partner on a dating site too and they are now happily married happy

I think it depends on the type of person you want to meet honestly. And what you want from the relationship.

40+ (I know this is 50+)people are going to have histories. Life happens. Divorce, Death. Kids, It all comes into play but, we also have the experiences of life.

Age is a number too. While our bodies are not as young and strong as say, a 20 year old, we're still able to feel, think, be young in our minds. We just have to find someone that can fit into our lives as they are...accepting their flaws and limitations as they accept ours.

Not really much different then when we were younger to me.
