    I need to have a bit of a rant,WERE in Dublin are all the half decent nice tall men in their 40s. I go on dating site and as soon as you want to send a message their looking for money but which one do I pay and then you get reply's from men that are totally not my type. If i do pay the fee then you get very basic messages only for it not to go any further or I might get a date and that is it you never hear from that man again. If you go to social groups very rarely is there a man i would date or who wold date me . I am nothing special so for the few single decent men the right height and age I way down the line with far too much competition The ratio of nice tall men in there 40s compared to women is very bad.

    Do people not get shorter as they get older?

    Damn they should have stuck us between two tractors in order to stretch us so we can meet your superficial needs, I'm terribly apologetic the irish gene pool let you down

    You need to look outside Dublin, try looking out in the shticks for a tall handsome farmer plenty of those about. They might also have some land and money that could be yours if you let him put a ring on your finger.

    The number of single people in their 40s is a small enough pool without restricting it only to the attractive ones.

    You've probably noticed, but people tend to become less attractive as they age.

    Beggars can't be choosers.

    Bruce Forsyth disagrees with you.

    Define tall? If you are looking for men that are over 1,90 then your pool is going to be small, and then to narrow that down to nice single men in their 40's in Dublin you are looking at a very small pool.

    You will be competing with the 20-something and 30-something women for these type of guys. Not trying to offend, but your post has a hint of desperation about it, most men would run from that. You should re-evaluate your criteria a little.

    If you're paying a fee for sex then you should be able to find what you're looking for. Is OP really tall too? Is that why there's an emphasis on height?

    Have you tried a mens shop? or failing that Holland?

    Regarding metric and imperial, we tend to have a foot in both camps.

    Look, someone has to say it. You need to be competitive in some aspect. You don't specify but I'm taking it that you're in your 40s yourself.

    Can you compete with the 25 year olds on looks? It's unlikely.

    But maybe you can bring some intellect, maturity and experience to the table. It appears that spelling and grammar may not be your best allies when giving an impression of yourself through the medium of the written word. I'm not judging or complaining for here. But if it's someone that you are trying to meet, they might care. Think of your message as being the equivalent of putting up a photo. Do you want to put up a photo where you're not looking your best?

    If a hot 24 year old sent a message with those types of mistakes, a man might not care. If a 40 year old sent it, they might be more likely to ignore it

    This reminds me of the fine but not necessarily handsome man in his 40s who'll claim you'll need to lower your standards, your demands are just not reasonable.
