Gaynor Evans Blogs for Toyboy Warehouse
Having just read another article referring to the Blogger ‘Plankton’ and how she finds herself middle-aged, single and apparently at the bottom of sexual food chain, I am again amused and bemused by how she is finding it “out there”. It sounds sad, lonely and bloody awful – and I have to say the complete […]

Dating after 40
This news article, by Suzanne Harrington, appeared in the Irish Independent on August 13th. As it’s a great piece of writing, and very insightful, we thought we’d share it with you: ‘On July 2, an anonymous blogger calling herself The Plankton uploaded her first post.

I’m in a long-standing relationship… with the fear of commitment. Really, it’s true. I’m not quite sure when this liaison begun, but we’ve been together for quite some time.

Life begins at 40
For those of you who didn’t see the article in last Sunday’s Observer, we’re putting a link here. It really is all about having a positive attitude, not your age. “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 […]
