Forum for Singles over 40

Hi. Don't know if I'm posting this in the right place!

Now that you have posted here, the forum request is live. Other users can add their votes for or against the idea by posting a +1 or a -1 in a post on the thread. You can read more about the procedure here.

If you have examples of where people are already discussing issues that you think would be better suited to a new forum, please post links here too. Finally, we do have a (private) online dating forum that might cover some of the needs you think might be discussed. I realise that single does not equal dating so this might not be suitable. You can request access to the online dating forum here if you want to take a look: https://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2056968455

How can I? User's guide to some features on the new site

This PI thread is an example of where the relevant people I feel would be interested in such a forum are currently exchanging views.

I'm not over 40, or single but if it helps others, then why not get it going.

If the child free by choice forum was deemed worthwhile, no reason why this one isn't.

Oh well, give me an easy life and a peaceful death.

Not over 40 but it sounds like a worthwhile forum to implement.

How so? If people who decide to remain child free can have a space to chat and discuss things, what's different about people who are single getting the space to do same?

Not single, but I am over 40 and I know people struggling with the "scene" could be great for them.
